Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Anyone Have an Odyssey Candela Preamp?

O!F! I'm doing it again! "Two-by," I have to agree, but only for the first season. LIS ran from '65-68. Star Trek ran from '66-69. As soon as IT hit the air, it made LIS feel like Sci-Fi for the Saturday morning set and Star Trek was for adults. I still watched LIS, but ST was more exciting.

There was no skin on LIS. Everyone was dressed up to their throat, but always a possibility of flesh on ST. Hey, I was between 13-16 for it's run, whaddya expect? Plus, on LIS, no one ever scored. That happened almost every week on ST.

And he's STILL out there pushin' crap all over TV in his 80's. Another hard-working Canadian defector, well, until November.

I was younger than BobK. Still am.

LIS was the right show at the right age for me..... though I think I remember even then thinking that Judy was hot.

You mean she was attractive. "Hot" cannot be discerned under 14 yards of polyester pant suit.

OK, Attractive. Very.

the original Battlestar Galactica was OK, little boy with robot dog sort of ruined it, but the reprise Galactica was dark, edgy and terrific, my favorite Sci-fi series of all time.

It's a miracle! 2x6 and I agree on something.

Polyester pant suit.. are you playing Leisure Suit Larry again Bob?

Err, she was 12. Six on the other hand ...

The unisex, polyester pantsuit was a crime unleashed upon an unwitting public right around 1970. Those us of wannabee hippies derided them. Hence: "If it melts rather than burns when you light it, don't wear it." Keep on truckin,' Mama!

Really, if the head of your ciggie fell into your polyester-clad lap, your pants turned into Napalm.

Favorite childhood 50's/60's Sci-Fi films: Invaders from Mars, The Time Machine, Robinson Caruso on Mars, THX 1138. Fave adult ones: tie--Alien and Director's cut of Bladerunner, still. I thought Avatar, as a film, couldn't compare to either.

Fave Sci-Fi series has to be ST, Deep Space 9.

I feel like I'm pimping for you guys, but I think the two most amazing, drop-dead women ever in Sci-Fi are the woman who was the head of The Borg, in that single piece, silver sparkle leotard, and the woman from a short-lived series called Lexx. There were only 3 characters; two male (loser) humans and a female sexbot who wore the tiniest pleated skirt possible and had a body like a chrome silhouette on a truck wheel flap.

Gawd, now I feel so dirty. I don't know how you guys live with yourselves.
