'In Search Of' episode 2 review: 'Superhumans' sees Zachary Quinto cement himself as an excellent host

After a sub-par pilot, 'Superhumans' is a definite improvement and sees Quinto cement a reputation as a talented host.

At the time 'In Search Of' first aired between 1977 and 1982, it was revolutionary. Devoted to exploring mysterious phenomena, the series was created by Alan Landsburg after the success of his three one-hour TV documentaries, 'In Search of Ancient Astronauts,' 'In Search of Ancient Astronauts,' and 'The Outer Space Connection.' The documentaries were narrated by the legendary Rod Serling, the 'angry young man' of Hollywood known for presenting 'The Twilight Zone' in the 50s and 60s, and he was set to host 'In Search Of' as well, but his untimely death meant that the honor went to Leonard Nimoy.
