“Thanks so much for your review of Space 1999 ! I was also very into Star Trek TOS in reruns. I used to make audio recordings of every episodes before VCR’s . I really loved Space 1999 when it was released in the mid 70’s but lived in a rural area where I couldn’t get the station out of Boston that aired the show. My grandmother lived in another town that carried the station so I saw the pilot Breakaway first and loved it. I was also able to see Guardian of Piri, Force of Life and Alpha Child. I never saw any other episodes at the time.
Fast forward to 1990 and I scored the 4 VHS releases which I then saw
Earthbound, Matter of Life and Death and Voyagers Return. I was also able to see Guardian of Piri again. Then in 1991 the series was released on Laser Disc. I purchased both seasons and a Laser Disc player. Being able to finally see the entire 1st season was such a pleasure. Season 2 was a disappointment if I’m being honest.
Over the years the VHS release and the DVD’s got better. The Blu Ray is the ultimate and I still watch it when I can. I wish season two had continued with the same characters in season one but as we know it did not.
Love the podcast”
