V the TV series is on scifi today and it's what inspired this thread.

It really hasn't aged well at all, I think Buck Rogers which was done 5-6 years earlier had much hirer production values and was a better show (hotter chicks too)

The other show I really looked forward too was a BBC production that I caught on public television called The Tomorrow People.

Dang, when I saw the title I was gonna say Tomorrow People (first version). I have them on DVD.

Granted they were before my time originally, but syndicated...

Land of the Lost
Lost in Space
Twilight Zone

I did like V though too, but for currently running shows at the time I have to go with Quantum Leap.

I remember in like the summer of '86 in the mornings I would watch Lost in Space followed by the Bionic Man in syndication, loved both of those shows.

Doctor Who and Star Trek, of course. The Tomorrow People. Also: Blake's 7, which despite having very dodgy sfx is still one of the greatest (and bleakest) Sci-Fi shows I've ever seen. I think the series finale scarred me for life!

Sapphire and Steel was also great. Very creepy.

Oh geez.. .how could I forget Star Trek The Next Generation?

I maybe remembering it wrong, but for some reason I remember watching it and MacGyver on Sunday nights... maybe syndication on USA? I don't think those were the original air times.

Blake's 7 and Sapphire and Steel I am not familiar with.

Blake's 7 never got play in the states much, you had to really look for it back then.

[nietoperz]

Blakes & and Sapphire and Steel I am not familiar with.

I will have to check them out.

Blake's 7 was about a group of (mostly pretty amoral) outlaws on the run and fighting an evil Federation of Planets, while Sapphire and Steel was a deeply odd program about agents of order who were tasked with fixing time glitches (as I recall).

Sapphire and Steel sounds a great deal like Voyagers which I loved as a kid.

When was it on?

Any of you guys ever watch Space 1999?

That pic Ollie posted reminded me of it.
