Review of Ripley's Believe It or Not!

I loved this show when I was a teenager and I looked forward every Sunday to viewing it. One hour long was not enough. Jack Palance was the perfect host for the series and what a great sense of humor. The show topics were about unusual people and animals,strange eating habits around the world and some famous and infamous people - Joan of Arc-was she really an uneducated farm girl who had saintly visions or was she secretly the illegitimate daughter of Isabelle of Bavaria,the Queen of France and was an innocent heretic burned at the stake in her place? and Prince Vlad Tepes of Rumania,one of the inspirations for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Jack Palance's daughter Holly was his co-host at the beginning of the series and Marie Osmond at the end of series and both ladies did an excellent job. I loved this show and I also enjoy the remake of this series with Dean Cain of Lois and Clark fame. I hope both series will be released uncut on DVD.
