    I love Space Battleship Yamato. You simply can't give it enough credit for it's importance of introducing the west to anime... And I can't wrap my head around the idea of a Japanese crew fighting space nazis with a refit of the battleship that once was the most important symbol of the military might of Imperial Japan. Heck, they named the bad guy Abelt Dessler... That leaves little room for interpretation.

      You should try the reboot series Star Blazers: 2199 and 2202. Third series is on the way. Up to date quality animation and sound. Re-using much of the original story but dumping the silly and modern levels of writing. And the composers son has re-done the soundtrack.
      The writing on series 2 tried to be too clever for it's own good.

    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".

    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 remember Salvage 1. It was a neat idea. my favourite episode was when they found someone on an island near Japan who still thought World War 2 was still on. They brought him back to Tokyo and the Emperor wanted to meet him. As they are fling over suburban Tokyo he says "Are you SURE Japan lost the war?"
    One of the actors in the clips sounded like Mark Hamill.
    I think I remember Land of the Lost. Is that the one where they live in a huge treehouse or is that another show?
    The Fireball launch ramp reminded me of the launch ramp from When Worlds Collide..

      "LAND of The Lost" was "Sid & Marty Kroft " Show which had several tv series you may have mixed up from childhood. . Land of the Lost was where the Dad Rick Marshall , bother Will and sister Holly went rafting & camping but and go through a time portal and arrive when dinosaurs were alive on earth. landofthelost.fandom.com/wiki/Land_of_the_Lost_Wiki Will start you off The "Sleestak" (upright reptile creatures) were pretty scary back then but almost comical to look at today. The level of special effects and imagination of viewers verses the spoon feed cgi crap today is just...... Be glad you got to watch those old shows back when they were near the cutting edge for technology and the effects budget wasn't as huge as they are today, with computer effect so cheap. The lack of "Lens Flare" alone will make you appreciate the shows, if the music (especially the musicians based ones) do not.....
      Sid Kroft and Marty Kroft (they were brothers that made sci and fantasy television shows that were competition to Jim Henson Studios) had numerous shows and you would often see several episodes in their TV Show or Hour Time slot..... Plus they were also on the UHF channels for reruns for being cheap and kids shows.

      Almost six decades after I watched excitedly as a little kid, I still get goose bumps watching XL5 take off. Tragically, I bought an XL5 mug from the Gerry Anderson site, (run by his son) just last month.
      Two booster rockets that fall away after launch. Remind you of any NASA craft?
      Some of these shows were made years after XL5, but GA's show has far better effects, and the acting in some of the live action shows is toe curlingly bad. Thunderbirds raised the bar even higher.
      The Invaders was excellent, though, and ground breaking, the drama was never outweighed by the sfx

      The belt buckle one was definitely "The Tomorrow People" from Britain. They could "jaunt" without the belts, as the belts just linked back to Tim, their super computer to vastly extend their range. Was remade in US within the last 10 years but didn't really capture the magic of the original. (Had Robbie Amell in it)

I remember he was trying some therapies to make it stop, to make him normal, someone was threatened so he had to try it again and he ended up getting stuck in the wall. Probably a black and white movie, or maybe it was just an episode of Twilight Zone or Outer Limits? Someone may remember?

      I sorta agree, and yet disagree... most of the stuff in this era wasn't Trek and mostly drek, but it was sci-fi. Oddly, those SF tv shows that were successful ie. The 6 Million Dollar Man, or Knight Rider, downplayed the SF element and hyped the action/adventure. The few gems we did get here in the US were imports.
      As to the up coming future of this series I see the same problems I just mentioned.
