I still have fond memories of Shatner's gig on "Rescue 911" (there's another program I would like to see revived), even though I don't care for Shatner himself. And of course Kurtis hosted his recently cancelled series on A&E, "Cold Case Files", "American Justice", and "Investigative Reports".
to your other choices.

^Yeah, maybe not, but I remember being unexpectedly impressed with the non-cheesy solemnity he lent to "Rescue 911".

I am all for them getting rid of some segments. If I have to watch another Lost Loves...

WTF?? All three of thse shows have been cancelled?? I loved CCF and Bill Kurtis is a great narrator/host. Guess they're making more room for Dog The Bounty Hunter and Gene Simmon's Family Jewels

I remember when Bravo was showing things like Au revoir, les enfants commercial-free, for god's sake.

This is very amusing... I just finished the "Ghosts" set and was thinking that it'd be cool if they made a new show. It won't quite be the same with a new host though. 
Slightly off-topic: It would have been great if they did updates for the shows on the DVD sets as extras.

How about Jonathan Frakes?
I loved Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction when he hosted the show & I'm extremely happy to see the show get a Season 1 DVD release on August. 28th, 2007.
It's along the same lines as Unsolved Mysteries & Althrough he's no Robert Stack he still is a pretty damn good host.
