About this listen
This week is all about classic sci-fi and fantasy TV shows from the 1970s and 1980s. There was prime-time epics with space fleets on the run, bionic agents taking down threats, aliens settling into family life, talking cars outsmarting crooks, lizard-like invaders, starship crews solving cosmic problems, mysterious islands granting wishes with a catch, and anthology stories full of wonder.
The conversation centers on the American series that dominated screens during those decades, in particular in the world of syndicated programming. Plus, there are several BBC productions included - seriously, what the heck is Blake's 7 or Doomwatch!? Admittedly, the British do sci-fi pretty well.
These shows combined practical effects, ambitious ideas squeezed into weekly episodes, and characters that felt grounded even amid the extraordinary. Many of these were essential viewing at the time, but would they be as engaging and rewatchable today?
