2155: Gary and Valene get married for the 137th time.

It seems THIS Val, would have given Abby and JR a run for their money LOL!

This explains it all! Gary & Val time travelled to 1978 from the future, but something went wrong and they got split personalities. Gary became an alcoholic and Val eventually became Verna, but the timeline always brought them back together. The proof is how Gary's Empire Valley undergound control room looked a bit too futuristic; it was because he tried to make it like their 2155 base in the video above!!

What’s ironic is that this is 1978 and the first year after that is 1991! The very years Dallas was on air!

According to IMDb, the creator of Dallas, David Jacobs, cast both of these stars in Knots Landing after seeing this episode. He stated "Even though in this particular episode of WW, they were adversaries, but they had perfect chemistry."

OMG, thanks for posting this. I had no idea that it even existed. This is like Christmas morning, finding a treasure that you never even knew existed.

@ied86 You should know Gary and Val never take her on their space adventures because J.R. forbids it, LOL.

The models at the beginning are from Space 1999. When David Ackroyd,the orginal Gary wasn't available for the Knots Landing pilot,Joan suggested Ted after this,Ted always says he owes so much to Joan.

So I guess this means Joan Van Ark is really some chick named "Cassandra" from the year 2155 who wound up being a successful actress on Knots Landing? My mind is freaking blown man. LOL

What is so funny is that in 1978 she started the Val character on "Dallas", but with a different actor playing Gary. Its ironic she was working with Ted in 1978, but not on Dallas.

It would have been funny if the computer said Dallas Texas or they ended up in a cul-de-sac in California.

The opening scenes of this clip definitely were taken from “Space: 1999,” although this entire clip is NOT from that seminal 1970s sci-fi series. In fact, this is the opening clip from “Time Bomb,” the Nov. 10, 1978, episode of “The New Adventures of Wonder Woman” starring Lynda Carter.

Great clip thanks for sharing, it was strange seeing this but fun. Jessie

@MrEricSevert It's my understanding that Joan Van Ark suggested Ted Shackelford for the role of Gary (David Ackroyd signed a commitment to a pilot series) on the basis of their working so well together here.

I wonder what would happen if Jill Bennett appeared on this space craft with her wig, rubber gloves and hand gun torturing poor Val lol

Amazing how small the computers are in 2055.

0:07 That's Moonbase Alpha from Gerry Anderson's Space: 1999.

wicked wicked Val

I keep waiting for JR to walk in and tell Val he's ruined their marriage and drunken-Gary is tossed outta the company!!!

WHERE ARE MY BABIES?

Is there anyone else who can't help looking at Gary's perky behind in his tight silver pants?

Always thought Ted Shackelford would have made a better Steve Trevor his chemistry with Lynda Carter was also great he looked more like a comic book version of Steve Trevor.

If they went back to Washington, DC, in 1978 they would have seen JR when he was there on business and got a call from Sue Ellen saying she was pregnant.

This is how Ewing Oil would have turned out if J.R. hadn't been born, lol.

Yes both Gary and val were on wonder woman before knots landing but they didn't play gary and val i think they played brothers and sisters in this episode

What the hell did I just watch?

Tedddd nicee as jaaa

2155 isnt so far in the future now at end of 2021

.....And where is Lucy?

Val is acting more like Abby Cunningham! A greedy woman !

Looks like the opening from Space: 1999. It probably is.

What is this ?

Those sets look like the designer really ripped Star Trek and Doctor Who off.
