Unreleased SciFi Series on DVD? (1 Viewer)

[JamesSmith]

If spy shows can be included in the scifi fantasy genre, I would include:


Spy Games (late ninties ABC series, four unaired episodes)

Girl from UNCLE

She Spies (second season)

Hunter (mid seventies series with James Franciosis (spelling?)

Please tell me you meant "Far Out Space Nuts" with Bob Denver!!


Does anyone else remember "The Phoenix?" I guess there were only 4 or 5 episodes; weird--I thought it ran longer.


And I can't figure out why "Man From Atlantis" never made it to dvd. That's one that's fondly remembered by many. And "Salvage 1" was another fun show; it boasts 4 unaired (to my knowledge) episodes, which is always a strong selling point for dvd. Do it while Andy Griffith is still around for audio commentaries!!

I was refering to the 1950s Series made in the US. It had a format very simular to the George Reeves Superman TV Series, which has been available on DVD for quite some time.

Yep! I'm afraid I did mean Far Out Space Nuts. I had its own charm, and I recall loving the scifi planet backgrounds they did. It looked low budget, but at the time, it's part of its charm.

Maybe you were thinking of "Unidentified Flying Oddball," which was a Disney movie of the time. But it looks like they may be making another pass at the Krofft shows, 1/2 of which remain unreleased. I think Space Nuts would make a good double-package set along with the Lost Saucer...

 

[Radioman970]

Anythng Krofft, not already out, would be awesome. I guess Sigmund & the Seamonsters is kids sci-fi... or fantasy? At any rate, a full series set is in order.
