THE FANTASTIC JOURNEY (1977) Network Promo


Wow! A rare, vintage TV spot for the short-lived NBC sci-fi series, The Fantastic Journey, which starred Jared Martin, Carl Franklin, Roddy McDowell (The Planet Of The Apes), Ike Eisenmann (Escape To/Return From Witch Mountain) and the lovely Katie Saylor. This particular promo trumpets the addition of McDowell to the show's constantly-shifting regular cast, though it also shows footage from the previous episodes....

    I used really enjoy this show. I think I missed some episodes because when I'd watch it again I had no clue what was going on.

    I don't think I ever knew what was going on either and I saw all the episodes Timothy....Really liked Varian and his glow stick, and the cute gal and her cat

    This may be a little off, but watching that reminded me of a show I saw in the 80s that seemed to be the same thing. Google fu and IMDb tell me it was called Otherworld. Maybe this idea got tried again a few years later?

    When I was a kid in Salt Lake City, I remember watching this show and then acting out stories of our own on the playground at school. I always had the "glow stick" thing... :)
