10. Ark II
Attend
Transmitted in 1976 for a 15 -episodes season as part of the Saturday morning list of the live action of CBS, “Ark II” was attacked for adolescent children and dozens who were looking for a show based on science with a post -epocalyptic angle.
The series was established in the 25th century aboard a slippery futuristic ATV that looked like a 6 -wheel 6 -wheel fans with steroids. This high -tech and mobile laboratory vehicle was piloted by a trio of young scientists and a Parlante chimpanzee that toured the moors of a future land in search of other survivors after a new dark age had fallen due to extreme pollution and endless wars.
Their names of characters from Jonah, Ruth, Samuel and Adam also gave the series of science fiction adventures interesting biblical implications that are often not seen on the television of the network.
9. Apes planet: the series
Leaving the immensely popular film franchise “Planet of the Apes” that ended with “Battle for the Planet of the Apes” of 1973, this small screen project tried to attract the same audience with variable results.
Due to the budgetary and format limitations of the television dramas of the seventies, this economic show is compared to the narration of “The Fugitive”, where the trio of two astronauts and an intelligent chimpanzee roam the help of Dowtryside of distant who live, live, live live, live live, live, live, live, live, live, live, live, live live. Live live.
Starring Ron Harper and James Naughton, with the incomparable star of the “APES” film franchise, Roddy McDowell, the unique series that deals with topical themes of racial relations and the thirst for destruction of humanity. It was an honest attempt that was sadly interrupted before it could become something.
8. Logan’s Run
- Originally issued: 1977-1978
A short -term but memorable entry on our list is “Logan’s Run”, a television adaptation of the 1976 science fiction film of the same name that represented a utopian paid society of the 21st century where the needs of all have apparently passed with 30.
A police murderer named Logan 5 goes to an undercover mission to locate a mythical place called sanctuary where citizens fleeing have escaped. Starring Gregory Harrison as Logan 5, Randolph Powell as his colleague “Sandman” now turned Nemesis, Francis 7 and Heather Menzies like Jessica 6, the series followed Logan and Jessica while raising the moors of a post-apocalyptic. The great fame of DC Fontana or “Star Trek” served as a stories editor for the 14 -episodes career.
7. The people of tomorrow
- Originally issued: 1973-1979
Seen mainly in the United Kingdom on the ITV network and loved by people of a certain age, “The Tomorrow People” was a curious long -standing children’s program that focused on a collection of genetically advanced teenagers known as Homo superiors, each with supernatural powers or paranormal skills that act as a team of Sort or psychic superheroes.
These evolutionary young people work outside the laboratory, a headquarters that was once a London Metro station. They are also linked to a cosmic authority called galactic federation that monitors this type of special beings around the universe. Think about it as similar to “X-Men” meets “Doctor Who”.
A restart was broadcast on the CW for a wild season of Telequinisis and Telequinesis of 2013-2014.
6. Buck Rogers in the 25th century
- Originally issued: 1979-1981
Raising the back of the decade is the second science fiction series of the super creator A. Larson, made to capitalize on the surprising success of “Star Wars” and close the gap until “The Empire Strikes Back” was launched in 1980.
This NBC show did not have the budget of “Battlestar Galactica”, but compensated cheaper sets and special effects by offering a sunny and adventurous version of the classic hero of the comic strip.
Starring Gil Gerard as the charming galacture adventurer Buck Rogers and an Erin Gray, a Spandex dressed, such as Colonel Wilma Deering, this rolicking series (and Corny) was born from the success of television and the theater film by Universal Pictures of 1979 of the same name. “Buck Rogers in the 25th century” carried two complete seasons, the tension 37 episodes that fans still remember with love today.
5. MORK AND MINDY
- Originally issued: 1978-1982
Shazbot! Surely Miss Tonta Shows science fiction as this classic that debuted in ABC in 1978.
Comedian Robin Williams began his television in this situation comedy set in Boulder, Colorado, about a postgraduate student (Pam Dawber) who takes an alien from the planet Ork that is here to study the habits of the land and inform.
This was actually a “Happy Days” spin-off of the Dream-Drosn 1978 episode, “My favorite Orkan.” At a time when the transmission options were limited to three networks and a handful of independent UHF channels, it is difficult to describe how popular the cheerful shows of the 70s were really. “Mork & Mindy” was a showcase for the improvised behavior of Williams that shot the actor from his egg chart in the shape of a egg to the superstractor after the series ended in 1982 after four seasons after four seasons.
4. Battlestar Galactica
Attend
- Originally issued: 1978-1979
The first space show of executive producer Glen A. Larson landed as a result of that little movie set in a very distant galaxy and consolidated Itelf as the best clone of “Star Wars” on television.
With its Boat Fleet of Colonia directed by the Honorable Colonel Adama (Lorne Greene), commander of the titular spacecraft, “Battlestar Galactica” was only the antidote for imaginative young people who were looking for a family family space.
Hunted by the Cylons Guerreros, those robotic centurions silver with the mysterious electronic voice, Adama and their surviving heroic opened their way through the cosmos looking for a “brilliant planet known as Earth”. The restart of modern depression was a great success, but we will still take this original original and fresh. He also stood out for the camaraderie on screen or the pilots of Viper Colonial Gung-Ho of Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict.
3. Space: 1999
- Originally issued: 1975-1977
Created by the legendary Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, “Space: 1999” He actually came to television before the feeling of pop culture of “Star Wars” and was far ahead of his time when he arrived in the air for the first time on September 5, 1975.
The British show followed the brave crew of Moonbase Alpha after an explosion of nuclear waste caused the moon to change its orbit and unfold in a deep space. His serious tone and his fantastic science fiction episodes of abandoned spacecraft, cosmic viruses and exotic aliens were a revelation for his time.
The solid cast of Martin Landau, Barbara Bain, Barry Morse, Nick Tate, Zenia Merton and others gave him professional gravity unlike any show of his time. And the eagle miniature visual effects a spacecraft and the advanced Lunar position by Brian Johnson (“Alien”, “The Empire back”) were excellent. We only get two seasons of this influential science fiction jewel, but today it remains extremely well as a retro-cool classic that needs to be reviewed from ODES.
2. The six million dollars
- Originally issued: 1974-1978
“Knights, we can rebuke it. We have technology. We have the ability to make the world’s first bionic man.”
This was the television of the 70s of the forced visit when the spectators tuned the adventures of the astronaut Steve Austin (Lee Majors), a test pilot in a clash of an experimental spacecraft by Glide Nasa (the real realization of Northrop M2-F2 of Angages the Bercomecet the Planet’s Planet Planet Office of Scientific Intelligence.).
Written for its insertion of cool bionic technology and a true science -based narrative, this was one of ABC’s most popular series for a half decade while we saw our improved hero assume a colorful variety of international villains and threats … Equally Bigfoot! Of course, “The Bionic Woman” by Lindsay Wagner was a decent spin-off, but the original is still high for his five race seasons.
1. UFO
Attend
- Originally issued: (1970-1971 United Kingdom) (1972-1973 USA)
If there is a series in this classification list that deserves a reset or an adaptation of feature films, it is this British production of Supermarionette Masters Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. The elegant show represents an anti-extratratrial invasion league called Shado (Alien Defense Organization of the Supreme Headquarters) that diverts the threats of UFOs of a London film study that doubled as the headquarters of the Earth and a position of advanced secret mole.
Directed by the enigmatic Colonel Ed Straker (Ed Bishop), the world of Shado generated a complete line or plastic kits “UFO”, lunchboxes and molten toys that are now coveted as valuable collectibles. Note for songs mod stylings of the early 1970s like silver mini skirts, Groovy Zip-Up Jumpsuits, Go-Go Boots, and Vibrant Purple Wigs, “Ufo” demands to be honored Among the Vray Fint of ITS ESE, SPECIAXY FOR THE SINGLE-ANDTE SEASLEY AND THE Seasle-Forte Andte’s Single-Andte’s Singlete Seaslyly and Seaslyte Seaslyte Seaslyte Seaslyy for the effects of the Unyyte season.
