Ark II coming Nov 7th

BCI is dipping yet again into the Sturday Morning trough to bring out this chestnut. I don't remember it being particularly good but I remember always thinking the costumes ripped off Space 1999. Now where's Jimmy Doohan's Jason Of Star Command? And Straczinski's Captain Power.

It really was not a good show, however, i liked it anyway. Strange how it works that way sometimes? I will of course buy it. BCI is very reasonable price wise, and give you a good quality product.

Now here is one I will be picking up. None of my friends remember shows like this or Jason Of Star Command, so I'm having a Saturday Morning party at my house with sugery cereals included so we can watch this, Jason, and Ultraman.

Should be a great way to drive my neighbors nuts.

We'll be putting that out. Space Academy too.

I agree with the earlier posters. This was a lost nugget that's been unearthed. It wasn't the greatest 1970's Saturday Morning Adventure Show but it is fun to watch and realize how much we used our imagination as a kid.

I too would like to see Jason of Star Command come out in the future. But for now I'm adding Ark II to my TV Show on DVD library. It will be fun to watch this GEM again.

Space Academy is set to street January 9th.

Jason of Star Command will be around 3 months after that.

Now BCI just has to come out with the old school Ghost Busters and I'll be golden. And they better get Larry Storch in for some commentary or something, or I'll be sad.

BCI are planning to release the live-action version of The Ghost Busters next summer, around the same time they're putting out Isis.

I know they're supposed to be doing some special features for the set, no idea if this includes commentary from Mr. Storch or not.

OK, mine is on the way. Did anyone get this or was i alone? How does it look?

mannix · 11-08-2006, 10:03 PM

I plan on adding ark 2 as well as space academy and jason of star command
when they come out

Frank Anderson · 11-08-2006, 10:18 PM

This one will bring back memories. I'm waiting for Isis.

Ditto. I'll probably pick up Jason too. Don't remember watching Ark, so it doesn't have the nostalgia pull for me the others do- may Netflix it sometime though.

David, if you're still around can you clear something up.
One of the reviewers commented that he saw trails on some motion with these transfers- that sounds like ghosting and would seem to imply you are using PAL masters. Is that in fact what ER UK supplied to you? A shame you can't get you hands on the original masters- I know that in the case of Isis at least, there are a bunch of collectors with prints of the shows (on 16 mm, which is what I believe they were shot on). I guess given the limited appeal of these, chasing down better masters isn't realistic for the budget.
