rented a few episodes of Space 1999 .. p-u, what a bad show. Bad. Can't believe I actually watched as a kid (though I was as bored by it then as I am now). I will say Catherine Schell was hot as the shapeshifting alien, but the hairstyles, ouch, and those bellbottom uniforms, wow .. a low point in television sci-fi

The Anderson's live action series where more wooden than their Supermarionation programs ever were - Sylvia Anderson's costume designs didn't help - they weren't even considered good in the 70s and that takes some doing.
Schell married Bill Mays, who directed the second series of Rock Follies, DVDs of which (by way of a coincidence/contrived segue) arrived on my doorstep from the Amazon just last week

ah Sylvia did the costumes, yes it all makes sense-- I am a mild fan of their work (Journey to the Far Side of the Sun is still burned in my childhood memory as very creepy ['Doppelgänger' , ya?!], Captain Scarlet too). They didn't want American actors in the lead for Space:1999 and I can't blame them (I guess it was originally meant as a UFO extension)

Under appreciated, utter genius
If you like that sort of thing...
Some of the craziest sh*t I have ever watched in my life.I am really getting into Ben Elton and pretty much anything done by anyone in The Young Ones.I really liked FR&C,it's just so surreal and over the top.I am now working my way through 3 series of Bottom dvd's.
It's something at one time I'm certain was on television and I have been watching it on youtube. It's called Rod Serling talks about Writing for Television. I have viewed parts 1 through 16 and I am totally amazed at this man's knowledge on writing and his viewpoints in general. There are some members of progarchives who are writers which I have no doubt may have viewed these short videos.....BUT! those you haven't owe it to themselves to do so. This is completely amazing!
