That's Incredible! I definitely preferred this show. I had no idea who Davidson and Crosby were. I vaguely knew that Fran was a football player. But the upbeat music and oh-so-'80s set sealed the deal for me.
Content-wise, I think Ripley's Believe It Or Not! was superior. But Jack Palance was so friggin' creepy.
You just know that if they had a re-make of That's Incredible!, it would be hosted by tools like Mario Lopez, that Sugar Ray guy, and Shannon Doherty.

I remember watching "Aunque ud. no lo crea" (Believe it or not) as a kid in the early 90's. Which means it was an 80's program dubbed in Spanish.
It should have been another season, though, because the format was with animators in a studio, like That's incredible.
I also remember the stuff shown was more interesting than shocking... maybe it was edited for kids as I remember watching it on the morning.
Things like how swiss cookoo clocks were made, how the production of a US postal stamp worked and playing football with cars in Brazil (with an enormous ball and, I think, VW Brasilia).
@Viva: I highly recommend going to a Believe It Or Not museum:
