I was coincidentally thinking about this last night, that I remember growing up there would be live television events based on Egyptian discoveries, etc on network television. They don't even really do that on History or Discovery now. I still remember some of those segments, one even sent a camera down a shaft on live TV and they ran into a wooden block or something similar and couldn't go any further. Those were the days.
- Nextgrid 4y agoIf anyone knows such shows (or other sources - YouTube, etc) I'd be interested too. The closest "modern" thing I can think of is Ancient Aliens, but honestly that one cranks up the pseudoscience right up to 11 and appears to be rehashing the same things over and over again to where it's just outright boring.
- partiallypro 4y agoThese were definitely based in history, but they definitely played some things up for TV entertainment. Like suspense of finding something, then cutting to commercial. The closest I can think of in modern times might be Expedition Unknown (on Discovery), but if that were live and on NBC. I wish I could think of what they might have been called, this was early 90s.
