    I was 12 when this aired in ‘79’….wow, I was blown away. Sadly it only lasted a few episodes before ABC pulled it.😣. This would have made a great “syndicated” series not tied to any one network, but as “syndicated” programming tended to very low-budget and this was no doubt a very expensive show to make, cast and F/X, it was not to be. Thanks to the uploader who found this gem, you took me back some 45 years…my God it been that long…?

      There was 20 episodes, 16 were broadcast in 1979 on ABC, the show was cancelled midway into its 2nd season (79-80 season) due to bad ratings. The final 4 episodes were shot in 1979 but not shown until the early 1990s on The Nostalgia Channel, and overseas in the UK.

    I think this is episode 3 for those of us in the UK. Episode 1 & 2 was the pilot movie in 2 parts. To be honest, I think most viewers would have lost interest in the show after the pilot because they never went back into space

      @@whochecksthis In a 2 part story called Golden Orbit. (Episodes 6 & 7 of Season One) When you're an eight or nine year old, into sci-fi, you lose interest after the pilot when they don't go back into space and stop watching. It's not like watching Space:1999 or Star Trek and they are in space all the time.

    I am trying to work out if I would have found this funny in 1979, I was sixteen at the time and had just joined the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 military, so didn’t have access to a tv, let alone a tv that could receive American transmissions, I only say this as now I’m 60 I don’t find it funny in the slightest, so either I wouldn’t have found it funny then (which I suspect is the case) or I have lost my sense of humour (which I very much doubt), there doesn’t seem to be any spark between the characters, the lines a delivered deadpan and the actual premise of the show is just so unbelievable (maybe if it was made in the 50’s or early 60’s it might have worked) it just doesn’t have any connection to the audience, it is more slapstick then funny one liners. Sorry America 🇺🇸 but this is a dud.
