It just sort of draws people in while shrieking hellishly - no doubt if I'd seen this as a child I'd have been scared of it.

I'm disappointed they didn't do a "futuristic" version of the dance music with lots of synthesizers and grating electric guitars. Then again, how could they guess that the eeeeerie world of 1999 would feature Ricky Martin and Britney Spears.

This is the one episode I never saw (we didn't have DVRs in the 1970s). I'm kind of glad now.

i remember that chick Maia(?) who could turn into anything and was kind of hot too

and those cool phasers/lasers/tasers/whatever with the wraparound finger guard

Maya. She was introduced by producer Fred Freiberger, who came along to help out in the second season. According to many people (eg. Martin Landau), he pretty much destroyed the show and led to its cancellation. Which is funny, because he also came along to help out Star Trek in its third season, and people blame him for its cancellation as well.

He totally destroyed the show by making it too fucking cutesy. I mean, season one was cheesy but it was cheesy in a sci-fi sort of way. Season two was just insulting.

I had all the bubble gum cards. Seriously, every single one. I also had the plastic models of the Eagle, Hawk and Moonbase Alpha and a life-size rubber Sondra doll.

Because seriously, Sandra Benes was the hottest chick on there and was way under employed. To hell with Schell, I'm hurtin' for Merton.

I still have my lunchbox.

Also, that guy has a bad case of disco head.
