Summaries

"In Search of..." was a 1977-1982 television series where the host, Leonard Nimoy, investigated mysterious phenomena.

The show was created after the success of three one-hour documentaries produced by creator Alan Landsburg: "In Search of Ancient Astronauts" in 1973 (based on the 1968 book and 1970 film "Chariots of the Gods?" by Erich von Daniken), "In Search of Ancient Mysteries" (1974), and "The Outer Space Connection" in 1975 (later adapted into popular paperbacks written by Landsburg), all of which featured narration by Rod Serling, who was the initial choice to host the spin-off show. Serling died before production started, and Leonard Nimoy was then selected to be the host. The series was revived with host Mitch Pileggi in 2002 and again in 2018 with Zachary Quinto for the History channel.—The Professor
