Peter Pan, Time Riders, Lexx, Superman, Gemini Man, Babylon 5, The Lone Ranger, Lost in Space, The Tripods, Timecop.

As much as I loved Lost in Space as a child I now find it so drawn out. I am sure it could have been a 30 minute show if they had just sped up the action a bit. None the less it debuted today in 1965.


Enjoy !!!
