We're all on a journey in time. I started out in 1962 and have ended up in October 2024. This show has made a similar journey.
Me too - its been a weird journey
Ya know, the Seaview is a tough gal!
Hits seamounts, rocks, and the sea floor without even a single popped rivet! The strongest beast in the sea!
TESTIFY!
Always loved this show as a kid. Love it still an older man. 🙂👍🇺🇸
How the actors maintained their composure I do not know, Richard basehart was a serious actor for gods sakes 😂
And versatile. He made a great villain in "The Satan Bug".
Loved it as a kid, love it now as cheesy nostalgia. Those air ducts are massive. The seaview must be as big as a battleship!
"Cheesy Nostalgia, " lol. Like a latter day Saturday serial. Yes, thatsa big submarine. I'm still trying to "do the math" here; a marine engineer told me that construction facilities presently can build a 700 foot submarine; any larger request calls for a bigger facility.
Biggest air ducts in naval history.
I like how they keep reminding me I’m watching Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Sometimes I forget.
Future people ways silver
Had model of flying sub
@@richardoldham8781 Cool. 👍👍
Irwin Allen -- he was always juggling several shows at once and the story lines just got wilder and more silly... Still, a great kid show. Loved the Seaview and the Flying Sub.
Always loved this from being a kid running home from school to watch it.
Love all the control panels
I love the way the same alien costumes were reused in time tunnel and lost in space.
It kills me that an integral part of the sub is so easy to access and just the pull of lever causes the sub to go all over the place 😂
Russians, Germans, Japanese, Vietnamese, Nigerians, Mexicans, Seminole and 1000 other enemies of western Europeans haven't developed matter energy transporter technology, not to mention time lock.
Yeah, it's too bad that locks weren't easily available...
Unless the plot called for it! 😆
And every piece of equipment runs off 150,000V.
You gotta love the classic "karate chop" to the neck that always knock em out!!
When you watch "Cave of the Dead" from season 4, you'll learn that karate chops work on ghosts, too.
The one thing I will give this episode is that it is nice and colourful!
Not only did this episode use left over prop and set pieces from the Time Tunnel, they used the same costume and make up (silver painted faces) as well.
"Time Lock" from ABC/Twentieth Television's "VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA" was, once again, a typical example of creator-producer, Irwin Allen, who had a habit of reusing his sets and props from all his previous TV productions, as well as using the full resources of 20th Century Fox to effect his creativity, as some of the props in "Time Lock" were originally used in his "TIME TUNNEL" TV series (especially the electronic control panel that was used in "THE TIME TUNNEL"s "The Kidnappers"), but John Crawford (1920-2010) was truly a wise and creative example of an everyman's actor, since Irwin Allen used Crawford in all of his TV productions (including "Dr. Chronos" in "LOST IN SPACE"s "The Time Merchant"), as well as in Allen's last TV series, "CODE RED" (1981-82) which was the producer's first for Columbia Pictures Television (shortly before the studio was sold to SONY in 1989) at The Burbank Lot with Warner Brothers in the 70s and mid 1980s. One of John Crawford's Irwin Allen works, was in the unaired CBS TV pilot, "THE MAN FROM THE 25TH CENTURY", which also co-starred James Darren and Ford Rainey, which was a ten minute TV pilot that 20th produced, but CBS passed on it! But, in all its glory, "VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA" was a remarkable science fiction TV series (the series had replaced "THE OUTER LIMITS" during it's Monday evening time slot in Fall 1964), and ran on Sunday nights following "THE FBI" and "THE ABC SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE"., before the series ended its run in 1968, to be replaced by Irwin Allen's "LAND OF THE GIANTS" (1968-1970)
Do you remember which episode of Star Trek John Crawford was in?
@@mohamad-ms2pb "The Galileo Seven", that John Crawford guest starred in.
@@MONGOOSE1ful 👍👍
@MONGOOSE1ful and according to Crawford he HATED working with the Shat, because bossy Bill was directing him on the set and since HE was the star, the actual director let him get away with it!!!
It broadcast on Sundays at 7pm before (not following...) "The FBI" and "The ABC Sunday Night Movie."
I couldn't help but laugh when they were all frozen to the spot but their 👀 eyes were watching. Good episode though. 👏. Didn't think much of the alien uniforms though.
specially Kowalski 😂😂
The alien costumes and make up are props from The Tunnel which was already cancelled.
Silvery Costumes, yesterday's forecast on future fashion.
PS. The same storyline was also done in Star Trek Next Generation where Data was kidnapped to be part of a museum display.
There are more examples. The Taybor wanted Maya in his collection on Space: 1999.
I remember that episode!
Thought i was watchinf lost in space
I do love Sharkey he is devoted to the Admiral and loyal to the Captain and he will defend either of them to the hilt, bless him.
Another bonkers but enjoyable episode thanks for posting.
One of the best show openings with the transport beam hitting Seaview. The panel behind the tube before it pops in also shows up in Star Trek, The Empath.
The basic premise of all good Sci-Fi is grounded in two words; ‘what if…’ This was the mindset of Irwin Allen. VTTBOTS, Time Tunnel, JTTCOTE and others that this was cemented in. Look at Gene Roddenberry’s STAR TREK and all the sitch the Enterprise got into! 😊
Don't worry Admiral the Captain will save you some how 😉
I like how Sharkey fired 9 rounds from a 7 round weapon (2 plus 7 more at 17:40) and one more appeared magically at about 33:10. Even as a kid I always counted the shots on TV! I also like the Time Tunnel complex elements used as set dressing here.
Love the sunglasses...
It's the Aliens from "V."
How did they not? burst into laughter ? while filming these scenes !!
That Seaview side-eye on display
Watch John Crawford as Alpha carefully. He redubbed the entire episode because Irwin Allen was convinced that his original, recoded voice was too passive. Crawford was not amused.
Fun Fact: John Crawford appeared on four episodes of Classic Mission Impossible, the first 3 times as a guest IMF Agent and the last time as one of the bad guys. He also appeared in an episode of Star Trek TOS.
@@mariakelly90210I guess we have a different definition of fun.
@@richardvinsen2385Well, it's a Fun Fact to Honorary Impossible Missions Force Agents and Trekkies.
Yes! I came here to see if anyone else noticed he was dubbed. No one on IMDb VTTBOTS episode webpage said anything about it. Thank you for the backstory on that!
We loved this over here 🇬🇧
I did, too. I had to take their word for it that it was in colour.
Hardly any blood at all on Sharkey's shirt but enough for him to send a detailed message.
Love the show but the artillery fire is cause for pause. Those "45s" would do terrible...well,that we know. "It's only a flesh wound, " or "it's only in the shoulder " is the play here. Somewhat more graphic than usual with the injury passing through...
A leading TV columnist once wrote that there "wasn't ENOUGH Violence On TV," suggesting that ghastly injuries aren't so portrayed, which misleads the audience. "Matt Dillon's injuries in any one Gunsmoke episode should have forced his retirement. "
Glad to see you were able to put the new updated Opening Theme in This Episode. It was not originally in There
Muchas gracias por compartir tan buena serie 😊. A mi hija y a mi persona nos encanta esta serie, con buenos actores, interesantes argumentos y lindas escenografías.😊❤😊
My episode idea would have been the best ever - what if Aliens transport the Seaview into outer space it would then cruise in earth orbit same as it does underwater and we'd have Sharkey freaking out "We're in Outer Space! Orbiting the Earth!" and the climax would have Crane and Kowalski taking the flying sub to fly to the Alien space ship or space station to destroy it so they get transported back under the ocean where they belong. I wish I was around back then to pitch this idea to Irwin Allen he would have loved it seeing the Seaview in outer space.
I'd pay to see that !
@@andymouse it would have been very easy to do just film the model of Seaview in front of an outer space background same exact way Irwin filmed the Jupiter 2 "flying thru outer space" in Lost in Space very easy effect and cheap the model of Seaview was 7 feet long and easy to move around the crew would have loved this episode they'd have so much fun doing this.
Closest you'll get to this interesting idea is this season's (4) episode "Journey With Fear".
That would have been brilliant.
@@AdmiralNelson1000 I couldn't wait to have the Seaview brought to Venus!
Great cameo role played by Roy Orbison.
I wonder how many concussions Kowalski has suffered in the course of duty!
Great episode.
Wow the Sea View has endured every type of explosion..collisions and missile attacks yet you never saw any external damage. on the sub..or complete destruction..Humn?
Para mí este es uno de tantos episodios que me gusta porque esa idea de crear aventuras de mucha ficción con personas que fueran de tipo androide en series como está porque en esta época ya no loasen como lo fue en esa época y que además era habladas en latino y que tenían buenas imágenes con buen sonido y ojaláy me envíen las siguientes habladas en latino gracias y muchos saludos 😀😊👌🖐️💯
28:16 Second Seaview Rock and Roll!
One of the stranger episodes of Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea.
Could we PLEASE, PLEASE erect a statue/monument to Irwin Allen for his contributions to make all of us - regardless of our ages - feel young!!
It's obvious by this point Basehart was in it for the paycheck
Never seen Patterson at the helm before.
A couple of times, but not often. He and Ray did a good job with all that mayhem. 😂
Nice blink from the guy in the background at 25.45!
Good catch!
goofy stuff , but as a kid i ate it up
Part of me still loves this show, but another part also wishes it had been less fantastical, and had more adventures based on actual marine science of the time. But yes, I know, that wasn't Irwin Allen's style.
21:11 Seaview Rock and Roll!
John Crawford has beautiful eyes. Too bad he's wearing those dorky sunglasses for most of the episode.
No collection of heroes is complete without Dr. Zachary Smith!
In defence of this beloved programme let me just explain that back in 1967 the thing that kids were mad for was Batman, so they did tend to dumb down other shows also Star Trek with their Hippies etc. David did try his best with Irwin but there you go.😉
has anyone noticed alpha looks like dr octopus from marvel comics
Look at the Centurion behind Nelson to the right, got it ? now think off Monty Python's 'The Life of Brian' Lol !
The sea quest
I like this old show irian allan plus lost in space
41:43 - and a fly just happens to get into the machine with him...
😂
6:40 - How NOT to practice muzzle discipline
More complete logical insanity from season 4! I do have to say; kids as we were, Irwin's lazy scripting did by now tank the show. Have to say as well, and I thought this at 14, Basehart does seem bored with all the shenanigans by now...
They got a lot out of that overtaxed cast. It appears that commercial demands took the show from "Tom Clancy" to Saturday Matinee Serial. But for a Latter Day Serial, it Looks good.
@@AdmiralNelson1000. Nice description. But even serials had their chapter limits, and Voyage by season 4 had run its course. I also think another season's exposure to falling from side to side amongst sparklers going off would have caused permanent brain damage and PTSD to the cast...
Logic and Irwin Allen does not Compute!
Each show seems pretty much the same as all the others. The characters change a bit, but the plot is essentially the same.
On lost in space he played the merchant time merchant in the third season
Also the show went even more science fiction more aliens than ever and monsters
As the show went on, it seemed like more actors were taken away from the show, which means that you didn't have.As many guest stars as the show went on Is four seasons
John crawford did
Off topic: Hey Toolman can you post more Hawian Eye episodes? I've only seen one on your channel and would love to see more, especially with a young Robert Conrad!
💯👍👍👍👍👍💯
Ohh not aliens
In some ways, VTTBOTS was light-weight sci-fi, with some weird person with supernatural powers (e.g., Vincent Price and his puppets) or the Alien of the Week. The latter is okay for a starship in space, but a submarine on a planet with billions of people?
Yeah, it was an interesting show, and its techno-bridge was eye candy for nerds like me. But its premise has always bugged me.
Some things haven’t changed in the 29th century…some people should NOT wear spandex. 🤦🏻♀️
🤣 True!
@@EricaHogan-in2noYou leave my boy John Crawford alone!
@@mariakelly90210 😂 not his favorite role. But he put his heart into it. 👍
I see the character as the 29th century couch potato, unaware and uninterested in his physique or the outside world. He just collects his "toy soldiers" during his 5-hour work week, as prescribed by the Hobby Act. The rest of the week is spent plotting the takeover of his world, using the methods he learned from the members of his collection. I didn't appreciate the depth of Alpha's backstory as a kid. It's unusual for a Voyage to give this much info about a guest character and the world they come from. And that's my scholarly essay for today!
@@TooleManTV like it, thanks!
The whole redubbing story is interesting. Crawford played the character as he saw fit, and IA overruled him. Allen was always hands-on but this seemed to cross the line. I guess if it’s your property you get your way.
Enjoy your week!
I like this one. A madman collector from the future of military leader's from the past. A time portal. Great special effects of the Seaview. The ending lines of "He was the only human," by Nelson, Captain Crane say's, "If you can call a man like that human." Admiral Nelson just smirks. Then the Seaview lift's from the sea floor and it's on it's way.
I like it too. William Welch, who wrote "Time Lock," is in rare form here. The 5-hour work week and the Hobby Act are neat additions to the story that gives us an idea of what life is like in the 29th century. In the 1960's, when "Voyage" was being made, our vision of the future was a world of leisure where the mundane tasks of life would be performed by machines. That's why a "Hobby Act" was needed. The villain, "Alpha," has much more depth of character than most of the monsters and maniacs of Voyage who just wanted to take over the world for no apparent reason. And Nelson, ever the man of science, cracked Alpha's plot in time to save the future from his grip.
Thanks for your comment and an opportunity to digress on this episode!
20:42 lights out Kowalski...
Simon Le Bon?
Were is the werewolf 😮
THIS SHOW COPYRIGHT WAS 1967
HOW FAR IN THE FUTURE
2023 must have felt! Took me to 2024 to finally sink in what year this show took place!!
I think Lost In Space was 1999 was it not?
These two Androids primitive to a certain (positronic neuro net/brain in space) look like they
Beamed over from Lost in Space(we know they would interchange items but if it was 1999 in Lost
Then they Slipstreamed into the future 24 years to be in Voyage, they won’t be making it back.
I HAD AND SHOULD ( Better!) still have the Flying Sub model by Auroa(🤔and Seaview models. 2023( last year for us Future guys by their View point-AND WE STILL DONT HAVE A SUB WITH HUGE WINDOWS LIKE THIS WITH BIG WINDOWS & Flying subs!
Nor Batteries that last longer (at least by this show
THIS EPISODE WAS SOME PRETTY GOOD FUN
I KEPT THINKING THE GREEN ANDROID WAS VIC MORROW BUT LATER I THINK NOT.
Still lots of fun seeing !!
They never have to part episode
Não está em português
Cheap sun glasses
Two part
Hard to believe it but there actually does seem to be a worst episode.
This was a laughable script. Surprised they didnt cancel the show immediately.
Truly awful!
Que merda vivem arranhando a pintura desse submarino.
Has anyone noticed the circuitry room always appears to get the worst of it; no subtle gestures or gentle alterations, just an ultra-violent KABOOM with explosions and sparks flying helter-shelter! 💥🫨
28:47 Third Seaview Rock and Roll!
