I never missed an episode of Time Tunnel when I was a kid! The music still gives me goosebumps! Thank you for bringing back the memory, sir!

I loved UFO, the Invaders, Space 1999 and the Time Tunnel. The only problem with rebooting great TV shows is that today’s imagination lacks creativity.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was my favorite show when I was a kid! It deserves an update.

The Starlost (1973), All That Glitters (1977), Quark (1977), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981), The Phoenix (1982), Alien Nation (1988), Red Dwarf (1988), Æon Flux (1991), Babylon 5 (1994). Here's some more sci-fi shows that need some love.

Blake's Seven actually had a concluding episode unlike a lot of TV shows of the time. A very shocking one

I grew up being grateful for PBS showing us BBC programming that broaden my horizons long before internet

I'm 65 and remember most of those! You forgot Voyage to the bottom of the sea tho

Watched "The Time Tunnel" in 1966, when I was a kid. Grew up to be a history teacher. I haven't thought about that show in so long. It was a Friday night favorite. Thanks for this video!

1 season = 30 episodes. We need that concept to be brought back too.

I definitely remember watching Space:1999 and UFO with my dad growing up, and had the Space:1999 Eagle toy spaceship, which was epic. I recently binged UFO and found it to be very good, the story is quite dark at times and the main characters suffer quite a bit trying to protect Earth's people from the extraterrestrial threat.

I remember Blakes Seven. Used to watch it with my mum, we loved it. One show i recall was Sapphire and Steel. Wish that would get a reboot.

This is almost like a dream! Each of these series were among my personal favorites growing up. This is great stuff! Much appreciated.

I loved UFO. It also had the greatest intro music ever!

I'd like to think that a reboot of Time Tunnel might work but look at what happened to Timeless, a really terrific time-travel series from 2016-2018. It had an extremely loyal audience (me included) but, for some reason, NBC was bound and determined to kill the show. I think network execs still have trouble figuring out sci-fi shows.

I grew up in New Zealand so I saw the Brit shows from (usually) a year after they began in the UK. UFO was my fave but was just on in '70 & '71. If revived must keep silver miniskirts with purple wigs. The underwater guys wore most revealing string vests for some reason. It really was like a real life version of Thunderbirds.

Space 1999: there is a whole underground Eagle Transporter fanbase...

My suggestion is Firefly. There was a huge amount of back story left on the table before it was cancelled.

I have fond memories of watching The Invaders and The Time Tunnel. Would live to see Space Above and Beyond again.

I LOVED "The Time Tunnel"!!! Never missed an episode. And look at how special effects quality has improved since then!

Blakes 7 was a great series especially the first two seasons. I think the Liberator was the most aesthetically stunning ship of all time.

Point of interest Space 1999 was originally going to be Season 3 0f UFO but was changed at the last minute.

5 out of 5 buddy! As a kid I loved all these programs, but learned to appreciate them even more as an adult, especially "The Invaders" and "Blake's 7". Big thumbs up. Thx.

Love it when you say a show lasted only one season while having 30 episodes. That's at least 3 seasons by today's standards, and with most episodes being utter filler garbage!

I loved Blake's 7! Late night on pbs.... when it ended, I was stunned. I wanted more then and I still do! Bring back Blake's 7!!

The Time Tunnel was loosely remade in the 90s with "Sliders", which is a show a lot of fans have been hoping to make a comeback, myself included. But, I too would love to see a modern reboot of Time Tunnel perhaps as a series on Netflix if not a feature film.

I, too, loved "Time Tunnel" as a kid. I also loved "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" but not sure it qualifies as sci-fi. Glad I found your channel!

"Space: Above and Beyond" was my favorite. Essentially "Combat" in space, Earth was in a military combat scenario against an alien race.

Avon deserves immortality Awesome character, intelligent ruthless

I'll always remember the first time I watched "The time tunnel" as a kid. I went to my dad during a commercial and asked him, "Dad, what's the Titanic?". He told me to look it up in the dictionary. That pissed me off, commercials were only 2 minutes long.

I think Land of giants should have a come back too!

Always loved Space:1999 and I still watch it today. Loved Season one. I would love to see a remake of this show!

Each of your choices are fantastic selections. Your reviews are spot on, appreciate the channel!

"The Questor Tapes" the Roddenberry one-off about an alien-designed android could have been a cool series. While "The Invaders" series was clearly an influence on a certain notable remake of "The Thing". '

There was a short lived outer space show that I think only lasted one season called, Space above and beyond. I think it came out in the 80's or 90's. It was about an alien invasion. It was an underrated show but well made. Now that I'd like to see as a comeback.

That is a very good list. You have several of my childhood favorites on there that definitely need to come back.

Invaders is basically First Wave, only major difference. They played off Nostradamus predictions being true to the alien invasion, and Traci Lords showed up in the show later. I can remember that being something talked about, as it was sort of unheard of for a porn star to make it to regular TV or movies.

There was an unsold pilot for a Time Tunnel reboot that was made maybe 20 years ago? I’m pretty sure it’s on KZfaq because that’s where I saw it. It was actually excellent. I wish that version had sold and gone to series.

Personally, I'd say those shows were all good enough that they should be protected from modern remakes damaging their legacies. Look at how all the never-ending sci-fi franchises are basically dead now in terms of quality and creativity.

My first SF unknown fandom at age 5 was Fireball XL5, followed by The Outer Limits anthology. Also loved a rare British series about a group of travelers whose plane crashed into Shangri La who were presumed dead. Their injuries were repaired, and they were given super human and psychic powers. They used their new gifts to solve crimes. Forgot the name of this British series, but one season they had of it was very good.

Blake's 7 was a great show. I watched it on PBS, too.

As a kid, I watched as many episodes as possible of the "Time Tunnel", the "Invaders", and "Space 1999". Also, I loved watching the more modern science fiction 1998, TV show "First Wave" because, it reminded me a lot of the 1960's "Invaders" (smile...smile).

Nice list, I remember watching Time Tunnel as a kid, and space 1999, which is all here on youtube. I was really impressed with the guest cast on 1999, seriously one episode features Christopher Lee, and he plays a good guy who doesn't die! Truly pioneering stuff. Here's a show I remember, Land of the Giants, seriously camp adventure in the style of Lost in Space.

I was addicted to 'Lexx' in the 90s, but I don't think a remake would work as they did everything with the idea that was possible.

UFO was the BEST! Loved it.

I would add Logan's Run (1977 with Gregory Harrison and Heather Menzies)😊

I watched (and enjoyed) all 5 of your picks. Great list!

I had no idea Space: 1999 was a British production! I flew the Eagle on no telling how many missions in my mind when I was a boy.

Space1999 was also on my list. And I missed Buck Rogers.

Thanks for the memories, my older brother and I would fight over who was going to be David Vincent next week!🥺💯💫🤍👍!

I loved "The Time Tunnel" back then and watched it every week. As a ten-year-old it never occurred to me how comical and formulaic the control room scenes were. Something always went wrong, resulting in a series of small explosions and smoke from the tunnel and panicky looks from the technicians but were always solved with some frantic turning of knobs. I have the whole series on DVD.

A pure nostalgia trip for me, this video. I watched all of these - but UFO was the one I loved enough to get the dvd box set in adult life!

The second season of Space:1999 was such a dramatic change in tone from the first I'm not surprised it was cancelled. I loved it as a child when it was shown originally but looking back at it now I'm sad it was forced to move away from the "what/who is guiding our journey" thread of the first season.

I used to watch these, except Time Tunnel which I never saw. I loved UFO as my dad would let me stay up late as my mum was at a class. It was our secret, and of course my mum never knew!! I'd also love to see Logan's Run come back, another of my favourite sci-fi series.

Love all these, love to see them comeback. Love much of the new stuff too, but more content s always good.

The Invaders had a mini series starring Scott Bakula. The even got Roy Thinnes from the original series to reprise his role as David Vincent.

Great suggestions. I added two of your choices to my “want list” of series to purchase on dvd. I would like to see Earth 2 make a comeback. I remember watching it in 1994 and loving it. Great show, great actors, great storyline, but for some reason it only lasted 21 episodes.

I can't argue against any of these. I loved Blakes 7. Glad I came across this. Thank you.

I loved the time tunnel. I was surprised that you even mentioned it let alone at the top of the list. Pretty cool.

I would say Blake's 7, UFO, The Invaders, Space 1999, and The Time Tunnel, are well remembered, not forgotten.

There's so many good scifi series, Firefly, Earth 2, Space Precinct, V, Logan's Run, Sapphire and Steel, Terra Nova, Total Recall, Almost Human....

Quark about the space garbage scow. Only a few episodes aired but I loved the humor.

I watched all of show ufo and space 1999 on KZfaq less than 2 years ago. It’s before my time but sci-fi is one of my favorite genres. Thanks for sharing these. I’ll check out the others.

Space: Above and Beyond. It was planned for 5 seasons and only ran 1. Really good show with a lot of great storylines. Also, The Tick (the original series) was hilarious.

Blake's 7 and Time Tunnel are being done on Big Finish Audio.

Time Tunnel & The Invader’s were really Great.🛸🚀. Never heard of the others.

I really loved all these shows but especially The Invaders and U.F.O.. I just adored Ed Straker and his organisation, the writing was excellent and special effects brilliant. The Invaders was also just wonderful to watch, and its premise just so watchable. As to The Time Tunnel, Irwin Allen's shows were all brilliant, may I point out that this show was rebooted and a pilot was made but that's as far as it went, just a pilot episode, but I have to say the story was so good, it's a real pity it was not taken up as a new series. The episode itself can be found on KZfaq. Thank you for reminding us of these wonderful shows, if not for Blake's Seven the name Jenna would not be so popular as it is today.

Omg I was hoping you'd mention time tunnel! It's almost like this show never existed. I loved it

2:04 - UFO was exactly one season - available in full on either Tubi or Roku Channel or Pluto TV

UFO was great. Fantastic model work from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (Captain Scarlett) and live action made for a fantastic show.

Was 12 years old and Watching THE INVADERS used to scare the crap out of me ........

Thank you for this list… the number 1 & 2 are also my favourites. 😀

I was hoping "Project U.F.O." would be here. Great show from the late 70s, a bit like the X Files.

The first time I saw color TV it was a display set in a department store and an episode of Time Tunnel was playing. I remember laughing out loud at the shoddy quality; the tie wearing hero was fighting someone and as his tie swung around, the out-of-synch red color followed after it.

I never heard of the Time Tunnel. Thanks for sharing it with us. I'm a big fan of Space: 1999, particularly the first season. I would also add Logan's Run to this list.

*No mention of "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea"?*

None of them need a comeback. I want something new. Written as well as all of those old shows were.

“Blake 7” YES!!!! I LOVED this show.

Good list, I'd love to see more of those great shows! 👍👍

I heartily agree with the whole list! I never got to see Blake's 7 or The Time Tunnel, and my only real exposure to The Invaders was in some comic books and a Big Little Book when I was quite young, but I've learned great things about all of them. As for UFO, I only saw a few episodes when it aired in syndication, again when I was quite young, but I watched Space: 1999 absolutely *religiously* during its inital run, going so far as to retreat from a pool party my parents took my brother and I to at the home of some of their friends, and plopped down in the living room there to catch that week's episode. I'd love to see even more of Gerry Anderson's work like Thunderbirds and Fireball XL-5, too! Alas, I was born a trifle too late for the great SF shows of the '60s, and was just 11 when Space: 1999 debuted.

Love your list. Blake's 7 was my favorite, I don't think anyone else has ever ended a series in the same way, wow!

I loved time tunnel . And land of the giants . Bring them back

Excellent video! I agree fully with your choices. But I think "UFO" and "Blakes 7" would be the stand outs. "The Time Tunnel" would be a good idea also. However it would require some development, because after all, there are only so many times you can go back into the past and do something historically significant.

I'm not sure I'd want it remade but John Wyndham's "Chocky" and "Chocky's Children" were two sci-fi series from my childhood that stood out.

Add Land of the Giants, and Lost in Space, only the first and second seasons of LIS, before it had gotten silly.

Interestingly enough, a few years back, the Amazon-produced series, “The Man in the High Castle,” late in its run, featured a dimensional portal set which appeared all but identical to the classic “Time Tunnel” set. I doubt it was a coincidence.

Loved Blakes Seven, and really loved UFO. Remember Invaders very well - the pinkie finger! Space 1999 was also really popular with me - and the Eagles remain iconic. Remember the Time Tunnel well that came on TV in Kenya - but hard pushed to remember much of it. UFO would probably at the top of my personal wish list.

Normally I'd agree but many in TV seem to have lost the knack of telling a good story. Blake's 7 was my favourite show as a kid. I watched the first run in Australia. I remember the screen going blank on the final episode and the voice over saying "This has been the final episode of Blake's 7". My heart sank. I just sat there in the dark for a while.

They did time tunnel, it was Quantum leap.

Odyssey 5 was cut short All the others were very much favourites of mine.

Good list. But if you're old enough, you don't forget any of these shows. Great video -

3) The Invaders. Had a follow on with Scott Bakula, (Quantum Leap) in 1995.

Since I'm from the 80s, mine are Land of the Lost, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Battlestar Galactica, and Alien Nation. I feel that for Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon, there was a LOT more happening with the novels and comics (and by extension. the cartoons). I agree there should be a comeback but a modern take on it just wouldn't work. I remember how Jonny Quest once did that and it felt apart once it got to the Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. They need to stay imaginative and simply blow people's mind. All for the sole purpose of how we grew up with this and we loved them for all it was worth.

Boy did you ever miss one: The Starlost You have a world that, in the face of an extinction level event, arrives at and executes a plan to save as broad a representation of humanity as possible by building a massive starship that is comprised of many hundreds of modules that each contain members of all the myriad human cultures in an attempt to preserve every possible aspect of what we were as a species. Many years into the journey a mysterious accident occurs that not only kills the entire Command and Support crew of Earthship Ark, but also seals all the different "Domes" where the people from these different cultures are housed so they have no communication with one another. In one of the Domes, Devin (who is a member of an agrarian culture modeled on the Amish) grows up generations after the "accident" to question the teaching of his culture and wonder what lies beyond. He discovers a way into the rest of the ship and, accompanied by Garth (his occasional nemesis) and Rachel (his lover) and guided by The Host (the Ark's AI computer) they discover the accident and the fate of the crew, the danger they are all in because the ship is on a collision course with a Star. The MacGuffin of the story is the search to find the backup control systems and whomever in the myriad of preserved human cultures is both willing and capable of assisting them in averting this impending destruction of the last vestiges of humanity. Also, if you get a chance to read it, there is an essay by the Creator of this series (Harlan Ellison) that expounds on the details of the incredible ambition and the colossal failure of the single season of this show. The essay is titled "I don't think we're in Kansas, Toto" and appeared in Ellison's collection Stalking the Nightmare, and is also in The Essential Ellison. This show, by dint of poor production and execution ( to the point where Ellison removed his name from the show, but to preserve his financial interest remained credited as "Cordwainer Bird" in the credits ) failed utterly to garner an audience, but Ellison's original pilot script "Phoenix Without Ashes" won the WGA Best Script Award in Episodic Drama in 1974.

That’s a very good list ! I would add The Starlost (not many old enough to remember this one) and maybe The Quester Tapes ? For a more modern series- Firefly !

Great sci-fi classic tv show picks. The Invaders did get a reboot / sequel four hour mini series in 1995, starring Scott Bakula and with a cameo by Roy Thinnes as David Vincent. Interestingly, UFO was already gearing up for a second season, when it was suddenly cancelled. Space 1999 is actually based on the storylines for the cancelled second season of UFO.

Invaders had a sequel mini-series in the late 90s with Scott Bakula.

I can't see a remake of Blake's 7. The same story with different actors wouldn't work. I could imagine a different story with different characters, but set in the same universe -- that I could get into, if well done.

Currently, a similar atmosphere (to "The Time Tunnel") can be found in "Timeless" 2016-18

I want to see more episodes of Sherman & Peabody as they use their Wayback Machine to correct the errors of history.
