Space: 1999

This was my first contact with a SciFi show and my favorite as a kid. I had an Eagle model and build myself a Comlock and a Stun Gun out of Lego. I must have been 8 or 9 years old. The production value, thanks to the Andersons, was really good. It looked absolutly believable. Yeah, the science isn´t waterproof but this was the 70s. You got away with a lot. The second season was not as good as the first (I remember some really ridiculous space monsters). They tried to americanise it by implementing tons of changes that just didn´t work out with the established facts of the first season. And those changes were also not explained during the shows second year. It became a different show. All things considered this show is called a classic for a reason. As a fan of sci-fi you should have watched this at least once.

Episode order listed here is very different from actual order on my boxset. This may be similar to what happens regularly with Star Trek TOS, where the original broadcast order is different than the actual intended order for one reason or another. Fortunately, it has no bearing on viewing experience as each episode is completely self-contained.
