    The original Battlestar Galactic is hardly forgotten, it's still got a very strong fanbase, spawned a reboot that ran for six seasons, as well as rumors of more movies at some point in future and numerous novels and comics. For a one season 1970's show it's had incredible staying power.

    That was horrible. You mixed up the live action "Planet of the Apes" series with the separate animated one. Added elements of the 2004 "Battlestar Galactica" to the 1978 series. The "Logan's Run" series barely touched on "ageism" (or any of the other points you mentioned). That was the original movie. The series was basically a random "chase and fix problems" series. It was interchangeable with "The Starlost".
    Speaking of "The Starlost", you mentioned it starred 2001's Keir Dullea, but not that it was co-created by 2001's legendary special effects wizard Doug Trumbull, who brought Dullea in with him. As far as saying it tells writers "what not to do", the series bible was written by Harlan Ellison, who won the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay for the pilot episode "Phoenix Without Ashes". Another episode was adapted from a story by Ursula K. Le Guin. There were episodes by legends like Norman Klenman, Arthur Heinemann, and Norman Klenman. If anything, it's a lesson in how not to produce a series. As was "Space: 1999".

    Buck Rogers deserves honorary mention even if the final episode was filmed in 1981. I thought it was ahead of its time in the sense that the hero was both a larger than life combination of super hero and astronaut having all kinds of wild swashbuckling adventures but at the end of the day he was a very sad and very lonely man who never fully overcame his trauma. That duality was interesting.

      I can see it both ways, it may have been 1980(81) BUT it definitely had that 70s feel and Star Wars influence so would comfortable fit right in. Like several mentioned I always felt that Buck Rogers could have been so much better if it had not been geared to an audience of 12-year-old boys, same as the original BSG. IF the writers had been willing to be a little more dark and adult with the plot lines.....Buck trying to find a reason to carry on when everything he knew and loved is gone, earth/humanity trying to find its place in the galaxy while still trying to recover from near extinction......yes this series could have been so much better with just a little different direction. IMHO.

      @@twilightgamedesigns4887 Not sure if I agree with you about it being aimed for an audience of 12-year-old boys. Lost in Space was for sure aimed at young kids. My parents both big Star Trek fans love the show. There were some things not really aimed for children such as the sexual innuendos throughout the series. Darker??? Well that Space Vampire episode still scares me till today. The episode "The Dorian Secret" was pretty dark for the times. Yeah sure maybe if they showed more of the mutant humans they showed briefly in the movie/pilot when Buck went exploring in down town Chicago would have been interesting. Overall I think it was presented well for the times. For season 1 It was a Sci-Fi show with having Buck as an agent so at times it had that James Bond/Mission Impossible feel to it. Season 2 was was more of a Sci-Fi show with it's Star Trek exploring the Galaxy vibe to it. Some may not like season 2 but I did.

    A trip down memory lane. I watch all these shows as kid on first airing. Blake 7 like so many other British BBC shows the budget was no where near that of its American counterparts so had to rely on many corridor runs, quarry shots and wobbly sets. However at the time there was no CGI, Hi Def animations so we at the time were more engrossed in the story line. Also Avon Kerr was not an assasin rather a Computer "programmer" who embezzled lots of money from the federation.

      And you can argue that the StarLost had an interesting premise, but it's entirely wasted. Giant bees? Space precinct? What would have been better is if the first episode a technologically advanced society expelled some of their members immediately run into another group that was from a very primitive society, BUT has had a great deal of experience meeting other societies having themselves been expelled YEARS ago, teaming up, and they set about fixing the ark. Something like that. Same overall premise, but you end up with two teams of experts. People that knew how to fix technology, and people that could take them to resources they had previously run across that could help them find the resources.
      They kind of had the opportunity when they ran into a bunch of those stupid kids that were on a training simulation forever.

Battlestar Galactica = strong blend of FX and camp for maximum entertainment. Starlost = Cool concept hamstrung by being forced to shoot on tape instead of film (see Ben Bova's Exiles books). Quark = best sci-fi comedy of the 70s that punched above its weight class (likely inspired Space Quest). UFO = Hottest space girls ever.

      In the second series, " Journey to Where?" The earth suffers badly, but the people survived. After contacting Alpha, they can transfer them back, but the moon will still be lost in space.
      This is just one problem with both seasons not matching up with each other. Both have different fates for earth losing its moon.

    Gerry Anderson belonged to a TV era in which viewers had a choice of 1, 2 or at best 3 channels to watch. He tried to make shows that appealed to a broad audience. So Thunderbirds: 5, 4, 3 ,2, 1 for the toddlers, rocketships for the boys, fashion for the girls etc. Thunderbirds was followed by Captain Scarlet - an almost prophetic show with nihilistic aliens creating suicide bombers and crashing planes into things. But, can you have such adult themes in a puppet show? Is it for kids, adults? When do you screen it (the UK pushed it as a kids show)? UFO had the same problem. Adult themes with amazing spaceship models and forward fashions. Total failure as SF with no comprehension of the issues of interstellar travel. No one knew who the show was for; even the UK had trouble deciding when to air it. Space 1999 was nuts. Essentially it was Star Trek with the Enterprise replaced by the Moon! No explanation of interstellar FTL travel needed, of course??!! The best thing about Anderson's shows was the music. The composer, Barry Gray, left generations of Brits with a series of iconic musical memories. The incidental music peaked on Thunderbirds, but so many of the theme tunes are etched on our collective memories; Stingray, Thunderbirds, Joe 90, UFO, and Space 1999.

    As you described the ‘animated’ Return to the Planet of the Apes, did you actually bother looking at the live action series you were actually describing? And I loved The Tomorrow People as a kid but Nicolas Young was never “famous”!

    Planet of the apes was based on a book (1963), by Pierre Boule.

    This is what happens when you have ChatGPT write a script instead of researching the source material for yourself.
    As others have said Six aka Caprica was in the reboot.
    Space 1999 season two was Star Trek lite.
    At least Galactica 1980 amd Buck Rogers weren't listed.....

    Blakes 7 was a great show....basically a 'thinking persons' sci fi show.
    Battlestar Galactica also had a film version....I saw it at the cinema with 'Sensaround' sound.....a super bassy sound format (with lots of huge subwoofers that sat below the screen) that made the cinema vibrate and rumble. It was fantastic.

    From the actual 70s, Battlestar Galactica (2nd favorite overall), Space 1999, Project UFO, Buck Rogers, The Six Million Dollar Man, Planet Of The Apes, The Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman, The Incredible Hulk, and Man from Atlantis.

    The narrator says that the Planet of the Apes show was animated even as it shows live action clips behind it, and the description of the show is NOT about the live action version. There was an animated version so I guess they were just too lazy to bother trying to find clips from that. They also claimed Battlestar Galactica had a humanoid Cylon named Number 6. WTF!? There is no such character in the old BG series! Judging by other comments these were not the only "mistakes" made! Watch this for the old clips, but doubt everything you hear in it until you watch the shows for yourself!

    Blake's 7 is typical British strangeness of the 70's. After a while they lost Blake, and there weren't 7 of them anymore.
    Never heard of Starlost or Quark or Fantastic Journey before.
    I liked the Tomorrow People, if I could have one or more superpowers, their teleportation is one of them.
    I never knew Logan's Run had a series.
