Masterpiece Mystery! (1980- ) - Page 2

In 1980, Mystery! was launched as the de facto spin-off of Masterpiece Theatre and ran until 2007. For most of its history, the program aired on Thursday nights. Beginning in season 22, the time slot shifted to Wednesday, and then Monday. Finally, in late 2002, Mystery! was moved to Sunday nights and shared the same time slot as Masterpiece Theatre. For the next five years, Mystery! aired as a summer and early fall program, while Masterpiece Theatre aired in the late fall, winter, and spring.
