I thought it was time for another Space: 1970 reader's poll. This one is really for the Seventies Star Kids: "Which 70s Saturday Morning Live-Action Sci-Fi Kid's Show Was Your Favorite?"
For this poll,although I've excluded animated series, I've included super-hero shows and sci-fi comedies. If I've forgotten your favorite, be sure to let me know in the comments!
This was a fun one.... and very easy for me...... Land of the Lost hands down! It was just a fantastic combination of a lot of fun genres.... Sci- fi, fantasy, adventure and dinosaurs...... Are u kidding me..... The whole gem combinations thing that would create various results when held together was one of my favorite gimmicks in LotL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Land of the Lost. (really, its the only one on the list I've actually seen).
ReplyDeleteArk II.
ReplyDeleteI would've said SHAZAM!, but John Davey as the replacement Captain Marvel was just too thuggish in look and manner for my tastes.
And, Jean Marie Hon was (and still is) quite a babe!
Really hard to choose. I loved (almost) all of these shows. Ultimately I'll have to decide between Space Academy (loooved the models), Land of the Lost (Sleestak!), and Shazam!/Isis (Isis gave me a funny feeling I didn't quite understand...).
ReplyDeleteI had to go with Ark II (although if The Starlost was an option, I might have gone with it). While I do love LotL, I love the post-apocalyptic setting of Ark II just a little more.
ReplyDeleteYep, Land of the Lost was awesome. It got my vote!
ReplyDeleteLand of the Lost hands down.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't had much channels in Holland those days. [Black and white, 2 channels whahaha], but my vote goes to Blake's 7 !!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't on in the morning, and it wasn't always on Saturdays -- although that's its traditional slot -- and yes, I'm a bit too young to have watched it in the 70's, but it has to be Doctor Who for me.
ReplyDeleteOne of the few, the proud, the fans of Electra Woman and DynaGirl, which has had two revival attempts (including one featuring Markie Post).
ReplyDeleteI was also pleased to see Far Out Space Nuts on the list.
I'd have to say Jason of Star Command. It was those cliffhangers on each show that made watch next week to find out what happened.
ReplyDeleteI never saw any of the ones you've listed. The only ones I remember watching back then were the psychedelic: The Banana Splits or H.R. Pufnstuf.
ReplyDeleteArk 2
ReplyDeleteVery strange: this morning, at least a hundred votes appear to have disappeared from the poll tabulations. Obviously, there's some weird - and damned frustrating - glitch in the Blogger Polls at fault....
