Lost In Space(I caught it in syndication, 1978), I still love it, that Robot B9!
The only ones I've never seen, or seen in their entirety are the British ones (Blakes, Fireball, Thunderbirds). FYI there have been reboots of Starblazers and Thunderbirds. The Starblazers reboots are Space Battleship Yamato:2199 (the voyage to Iscandar) and Yamato 2202(the Comet Empire). Both are equal to or better than the original material. Thunderbirds reboot is called "Thunderbirds are Go!", and manages to use CGI to almost replicate the "Superdymination" but without the obvious flaws of using puppets.
I saw Star Blazer in Washington State 1979. Loved it.
There was a cartoon that looked like Battle ship Yamato. It's called Robotech.
Classic sci-fi is so much better than the garbage we have today.
I always thought that the Logan's Run series , as opposed to the film, was a tad lame.
9:13 Thunderbirds are my favorite British Sci-Fi tv-series. I know many consider Doctor Who the best from UK, but if i have to choose its Thunderbirds in my oppinion. It was my Star Wars & Star Trek when i was little. And i think it need MORE attention. 💙
Love this ❤️🇬🇧
沖田艦長の声が当て外れだ、と思った矢先にデスラー総統のお公家さんのような声に絶句….。ひどい。ひどすぎる。
Completely forgot about Salvage 1, thanks for posting
Since the late 1950's, there has been so many good sci-fi movies & programs on TV, all I can say is thank goodness for those people that had those wild imaginations that is a wonderful part of the human brain, just to imagine.
Man, that brought back some memories. I've seen them all except Blake's 7.
5:39 Land Of The Lost??…
Ah, yes, “The Invaders.” The evil aliens perfectly assumed human form but they could not bend their pinky fingers. No, I am not making that up. Still, that show fascinated me when I was a kid.
As a German I learned to think outside the box. So I know almost all of these SF series. But even before Star Trek, we saw spaceships take off from the ocean floor. We already knew food replicators before TNG. And why a lot of technology when you can steer combat ships through space with irons, taps and pencil sharpeners. Our legendary man in space was Cliff Alistair McLane, who with his crew on the cruiser "Orion" saved the earth more than once.
A reference to this series can also be found in an episode of Stargate Atlantis, when Dr. Mc Kay would have liked to have named a new ship "Orion".
I was also a big fan of Babylon Five, it reminded me of Doctor Who more than any other show.I was also very fond of UFO, I think it was Gerry Anderson's best series, really well done stuff.I'd really like to seen them bring it back for a new generation.
Doctor Who was the Best in the mid 70's because of the genius of Tom Baker and Douglas Adams.I picked up on it in the early 80's and have been watching ever since.I own them all except for the missing years.The writing and the performances were what made it what it is.Loved David Tennant but I'm not too sure about Jodie Whittaker.
These are what I call classic TV shows after Star Trek. 🚀🛸🛰
I wonder if Elon watched Salvage 1 as a child.
UFO?
What about ultraman or space giants or Johnny soko
