well..

I bought the A&E full set, have to say, it is weird, I actually think they held up ok. stupid plot lines, poor special effects, and over acting...but somehow still liked. The retro 70's look to everything...even all the aliens was kind of cool.

Space: 1999

I had no idea what the hell Gerry Anderson was thinking. Making a overly-funded, weekly live-action space spectacle was financially dangerous. It got him bankrupt, it got him in debt, it got him a divorce, & it made Martin Landau look bad. That show would've probably been successful if it were filmed in SUPERMARIONATION.

Didn't he eventually sell off all his licensing? I really miss his shows, the vehicles are some of the best in all Sci-fi!
