Jordon Hinson, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Joe Morton, Chris Gauthier, Ed Quinn.

Seen the first season of A Town Called Eureka, but didn't see the rest. I really enjoyed watching this but don't no why I stop. Will have to catch up!!! But all in all a great series.

This was good when it was on TV. Disappointed when it stopped!!!

Unfortunately, in order to save his funding, he was forced to enter the accelerator prematurely and vanished. He then found himself in someone else's body with partial amnesia. His only contact from home is Al (Dean Stockwell), a holographic image only he can see and hear.

Deborah Pratt, Adam Logan, Dennis Wolfberg.

This is a fantastic series, still watch the reruns on sky when there on.

Professor John Robinson(Guy Williams) , his wife Maureen (June Lockhart), their children (Judy (Marta Kristen), Penny (Angela Cartwright) and Will (Bill Mumy) and Major Don West (Mark Goddard) are selected to go to the third planet in the Alpha Centauri star system to establish a colony so that other Earth people can settle there.

Bob May, Dick Tufeld.

This programme was fantastic I watched the reruns in the late 70's, it was really good and what's more still is! Doctor Smith's interactions with the long-suffering robot are, of course, the integral part of most of the 'plots'. It's have loads of laughs in it! The whole thing is superb, I would recommend you watch this series as you wont be disappointed!!!!

V The Final Battle

(15)

Who will claim the V for victory?

Is there life out there? Finally we know. Because they are here. Alien spacecraft with humanlike passengers have come to Earth. They say they come in peace for food and water. The water they find in our reservoirs. The food they find walking about everywhere on two legs.

That saga that began with V now culminates in a struggle to save the world in V: The Final Battle. Sci-fi film stalwarts Marc Singer, Robert Englund and Michael Ironside head a large cast in this tense adventure that leaps from the stunning revelation of reptilian beings concealed by human masks to the birth of the first human/spaceling child to the harrowing countdown to nuclear doomsday. The future begins or ends here.

Jane Badler, Michael Durrell, Faye Grant, Richard Herd, Thomas Hill, Peter Nelson, David Packer, Eric Johnston, Blair Tefkin, Denise Galik.

I loved V when it was first shown on t.v. in 1984 and I decided to buy the DVD, it brought back some memories. While it is not particularly great in the special effects department, it still provides a great viewing suitable for most of the family to watch.

V The Mini Series

(12)

They Come In Peace - To Enslave Humankind!

Fifty spaceships, each three miles across, hover ominously above Earth's major cities. The Visitors that emerge are human like in appearance and extend the hand of friendship. Our planet's resources are just what these aliens need to survive. And for its future survival, unsuspecting humankind will need... a miracle!

Kenneth Johnson's science-fiction spectacular V mixes dynamic special effects with cliffhanger thrills. As fascist rule enslaves the globe, freedom fighters battle to save our species. Marc Singer heads an epic-sized cast of human defenders and - behind sleek uniforms and benevolent behavior - reptilian invaders. For unparalleled extraterrestrial excitement, the invaders of V are unstoppable.

Jane Badler, Michael Durrell, Faye Grant, Peter Nelson, David Packer, Neva Patterson, Tommy Petersen, Blair Tefkin, Robert Englund, Joanna Kerns, Eric Johnston.

Just Brilliant!

This series relies on a strong plot and innovate character development to maintain interest with the special effects in the background. The effects are a bit dated - but the clever adaption of the aliens coming to earth has not. Since the effects are not relied on to sell the series, you allow them to be outdated and don't let them distract you from your enjoyment. The constant depiction of the visitors makes them totally convincing and makes such an invasion of earth totally chilling.

Time Tunnel

Scientists Tony Newman (James Darren)and Doug Phillips (Robert Colbert) are the young heads of Project Tic-Toc, a multi-billion dollar government installation buried beneath the desert. They have invented a Time Tunnel, which will allow people to visit anywhere in time and space. While testing the tunnel for an impatient senator, Newman and Phillips became trapped in time, and each week coincidentally found themselves at the site of an important historical event, be it the Siege of Troy, the sinking of the Titanic or an assassination attempt on President Lincoln. Sometimes they traveled into the future, and battled alien invaders. Ann MacGregor (Lee Meriwether), Gen (Whit Bissell). Kirk and Dr. Swain (John Zaremba) are the scientists trying to fix the malfunctioning Time Tunnel and bring Doug and Tony back to the present (1968).

The special effects, mostly in the Time Tunnel complex itself, are impressive when one considers the time of the show's production. Never missed an episode of this series, its a shame they only did one series.

Really loved this as I was growing up, watched every episode. Disappointed about the reruns, they dont show all episodes. Only few of them!!!
A Great SciFi series!!!!

Star Trek Deep Space 9

(15)

The stable wormhole discovered by the Deep Space Nine crew is known to the Bajoran people as the Celestial Temple of their Prophets. Sisko, as discoverer of the wormhole and its inhabitants, is therefore the Emissary of Bajoran prophesy. The wormhole's other end is in the Gamma Quadrant, halfway around the galaxy from Bajor. That section of space is dominated by the malevolent Dominion. The Dominion is led by the Changelings, the race of shapeshifters to which Odo belongs.

The war is quickly becoming the most costly war ever for the Federation, and the Deep Space Nine crew must fight to protect their way of life.

Avery Brooks, Rene Auberjonois, Cirroc Lofton, Alexander Siddig, Armin Shimermam, Mark Allen Shepherd.

Not a big fan of Deep Space 9, as its not as good as the other Star Trek series. But still watchable. I haven't seen all this series.

Nothing i've watched in this genre, comes anywhere close to Firefly, the movie Serenity was also good if you were a big fan. Even if your not a SciFi fan you gotta just watch this.

Battlestar Galstica New

(15)

The second war against the Cylons is over and The Twelve Colonies have been destroyed. Now Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) of the Battlestar Galatica and President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) lead a ragtag fleet of refugees in a supposed search for the fabled lost thirteenth colony, Earth. However, the dangers they face are many which compound an already difficult situation. In addition to the Cylons hunting and attacking the fleet in space, their infiltrator units carry out a more subtle plot even as their former unwitting pawn, Gaius Baltar (James Callis), helps in the hunt for them while hiding both his own guilt and the strange presence that haunts his every thought. If that wasn't enough, the fleet also faces internal political conflict in which the rabble-rousing figure, Tom Zarek (Richard Hatch the original Apollo), is merely the loudest dissenting voice. In the midst of these trials however, clues begin to appear that suggest that Adama's simple bluff about Earth may be more truthful than anyone could have guessed.

Jamie Bamber, Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, Katee Sackhoff, Michael Hogan, Aaron Douglas, Tahmoh Penikett, Alessandro Juliani, Kandyse McClure, Donnelly Rhodes, Nicki Clyne, Bodie Olmos, Michael Trucco, Leah Cairns, Rekha Sharma.

Great series, really disappointed when this finished. Some really good twists and turns, some parts kept you at the edge of your seat.

Battlestar Galatica

In the measurements used by the Twelve Colonies it is the Yahren 7341, and a treaty of peace is to be signed - a treaty that proves to be a ruse for the largest assault in the history of galactic warfare. With their defending warships destroyed and their homeworld annihilated, the Twelve Tribes gather to their one remaining warship, a battlestar named the Galactica, boarding every assorted star vehicle that will carry them, as their leader, Commander Adama (Lorne Greene), seeks out the one planet that will protect Man from the predation of the Cylon Empire - a planet called Earth.

Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict, Herb Jefferson Jr, Laurette Spang, Terry Carter, Tony Swartz, Maren Jensen, Noah Hathaway, David Greenan, Patrick Macnee, Anne Lochhart.

This was relised in the 70's, but Battlestar Galactica is still one of the greatest sci-fi shows ever made. It still looks good and other than the hair styles, little has really aged. A great series!!!

Arriving on Abydos with his team, O'Neill meets up once again with the scientist, who has discovered a giant elaborate cartouche in hieroglyphics. All signs point to the fact that this is a map of many Stargates that exist throughout the galaxy - a development that makes the dream of the SG-1 team to travel throughout the universe in time a reality.

Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Gary Jones.

I'm a big SciFi fan, and I really enjoyed watching these. Each episode is really good. I haven't come across 1 bad one yet. But there are a few slow ones. All in all a really great scifi series!!!

On Earth, he meets Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber), an average woman who takes him in and shelters him. On befriending Mork, she signs herself up for some wacky adventures as Mork learns about human life, acting (and looking) very eccentric along the way. In addition to spouting "nanoo, nanoo", Mork had an uncanny ability to impersonate celebrity voices. Eventually, the relationship between Mork and Mindy jumped from a strong friendship to romance, and they married, eventually bearing a son, Mearth from Earth, who aged backwards like his father.

Conrad Janis, Ralph James, Elizabeth Kerr, Robert Donner.

Watching this when you came home from school. I thought Robin Williams was fantastic I was a big fan, and still am today. Once of the best tv shows from my youth.

Nanoo, nanoo!
