Sci-fi shows you recall

"Quark" starring Richard Benjamin, 1977

"Man From Atlantis"
starring Patrick Duffy, 1977

"Logan's Run" (TV series) starring Gregory Harrison, 1977

"The Fantastic Journey"
starring Jared Martin (with Roddy McDowell), 1977

"The Invisible Man" starring David McCallum, 1975

"Lucan"
(The Wolf Boy) starring Kevin Brophy, 1977

1977 was a bang-up year. To quote Dr. Winston O'Boogie, "You should'a been there!"
Quark was great satire, I loved that show. Another of the period was Wizards and Warriors with Jeff Conaway

I vaguely remember this show for kids that had one young alien in the woods hiding in his crashed ship. He had these pointy fingers, he was bald and... blue I think. Another alien was living in the large lake and I remember that the show only had a POV shots from that monster. Obviously there were also a group of youngsters involved, but that is pretty much all I can remember. The show might have been made either in Australia or New Zealand, but I'm not sure.

And yeah, Superforce was so cool! At the time...
 
i vaguely remember a series, i just don't remember the name. It had this guy from i think the future, or maybe he was an alien. All i remember is he had this alien with him that was a flying eyeball with a wormy tail. and it was pisspoor cgi at the time. Only episode i remember is, these two characters had to go to disney land for some reason. i dont even remember what channel it aired on.

I do believe the series yo are trying to recall is one from my earlier post called " Hard Time on Planet Earth " synopsis is hr was an alien who fought in his peoples war and was a hero but spoke out against his government so he was exiled to earth

Yes! this was it. i just looked it up on youtube. i remember that opening with him in his alien spacesuit and that floating eye. I loved that show as a kid.
 
I am really pleased so many of us are recalling so many shows, its brought back memories of ones I had watched but forgotten and has given me a few to track down and check out, it seems sci-fi/fantasy has a much richer and deeper tapestry then we sometimes recall until something like this makes us think about it.
 
The great thing about the first season of The War Of The Worlds is that it was deliberately funny in a sick way.


hahaha quick side note, I had to buy a friend dinner because I had insisted that WOTW's starred Wings Hauser(sp) and not Jarred Martin. she was a good sport about it and has not brought it up..much:guffaw:
