Space: 1999 brings back a lot of memories and one of the main characters that I watched with big eyes when I was young was Martin Landau.
I do suggest taking a look at the others, some from the past, some from the present, but all worth a look.
Enjoy !!! And Have a Happy Fathers Day, this is the 100th Anniversary of it's inception.
