Holy shizz forgot all about this show until it randomly came up in my recommends. This was a staple of my 70's childhood on an old 12" b&w tv on the saturday afternoon scifi fest on the local channel. To see it now in hd color is going to be a treat.

What happened to this future? Alcohol on tap. Miniskirts everywhere. More diversity that makes sense than the woke nonsense we have now. Where did we go wrong?



This channel also has some other classics from that time too if you feel a bit nostalgic.

I recently found out that UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-Com: UFO Defense were loosely based on this show.

Definitely a nostalgia trip with all the other shows he has listed.
