I think it should re-made. It was an excellent concept. I would definitely watch a new Starlost remake, than another Star Wars sequel

Yeah, I had actually mentioned it in my first post. I guess I had never really gotten hooked on the technically superior, better written remake because for me, the real Galactica has Pa Cartwright and Face man serving on board. By the way, Dr. Smith from Lost In Space voiced Lucifer the Cylon on board Baltar's Base Ship.

I almost forgot how many of those shows I used to watch as a kid. I somehow remembered them as being kinda better.

I remember watching some of those shows.
Courtney Cox was in Misfits Of Science?

I was also a die hard fan of The Incredible Hulk, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, and the original Battlestar Galactica (but not that God awful Galactica 1980). I especially loved anthology shows like Tales From The Darkside, Monsters (which I think was in the 1980's), and the 1980's Twilight Zone.

I remember that episode of Amazing Stories with the gunner drawing landing gear on the plane very well. Unfortunately, the real life incident from WWII that had inspired the episode hadn't turned out so happily. I used to watch the old V TV series, as well. I thought Michael Ironside was a real badass.

Yeah, it makes me cringe that something like that really happened where the poor ball gunner was crushed. I think if I was at Boeing, I'd make them do a "do-over" on that part of the plane.
"V", yeah, I loved Ham Tyler too, he was so blunt and to the point, I wonder if he had an AS trait or two.

Me too. BTW, I remember Rick Springfield and Ed Begley Jr. played some small parts too as well as elderly Lew Ayers and Ray Milland. In the first episode/movie, the Ovion insect people really spooked me out.
I think it may have inspired TSR's "Metamorphosis Aplpha" game system.
Starlost premise (1973):
Metamorphosis Alpha (1976):
_________________
Although it was a kid's show, it had a lot of SF properties as well as many prominent SF writers making scripts such as Larry Niven and David Gerrold, but I enjoyed "Land of the Lost." BTW, although the Sleestak were slow, clumsy and poor shots with a crossbow, at the age of 46, they still scare me. Enik was cool though, looking closer, i think he did display some AS traits too.
One favorite was where Will and Holly were playing with a pylon and they opened up a hole that let an astronaut through. I remember he told the story where he was flying a space shuttle from "Space Station 5" to Earth and he had to bail out because of what the pylon did. He also mentioned about colonies to the other planets. I remember Rick Marshall, the father, said that "We do not have space shuttles yet." At that time though, 1974, they were on the drawing board and most likely started to by worked on, I remember seeing models of them at the Kennedy Space Center when I was there in 1974.
I liked most of them, the ones with the Zarn were cool too.

IIRC, Metamorphosis Alpha inspired TSR's/Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro's "Gamma World RPG."

It did.
I've played both Metamorphosis Alpha and Gamma World.
I prefer Traveller.

At least you could watch it new and live at that time.. I can only try to find it now, on DVD, or online.. IF it can be found at all.
Watching it as a kid is the best time to watch it. Kids are usually more imaginative and have adventurous mentalities, compared to adults.. So the show feels more wonderful.
