Some people like to hop in a car to take a road trip across America, visiting as many landmarks as possible along the way.

Cameras capture the history and pageantry of America as they zoom over busy cityscapes and quiet, rural lands.

Forensic Files

Dramatic crime re-creations and, sometimes, part of the investigations are a staple of the series. Some of the re-creations include alternate versions of the crimes, which are disproved by science. The show's episodes follow each case from the initial investigation until it reaches its legal resolution.
