Irwin Allen was the most frugal producer in Hollywood. Note the reuse of the Jupiter 2 footage. I see he also managed to hire some unemployed Talosians, from Star Trek, at a good price too. Back in the 70s, whenever I heard the TV announcer say, "An Irwin Allen Production!", I knew we were in for a treat!

Had "25th Century" been picked up, I'm sure they would have "shot a "real" broadcast quality" pilot. This was likely a "presentation film" which, on a slim budget, was intended to sell investors on an actual pilot. Thus the "parts out of the bin" contents. "City Beneath the Sea" was initially offered in this manner. First a 1967 "presentation film" not intended for broadcast, then the "deliverable" telemovie aired on NBC in 1971. And released overseas to theaters.

Wow I love this show, it had James Darren from Time Tunnel, the spaceship from Lost in Space, props from Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and music from all of the above and a 1968 Fiat Spider thrown in for good measure. (What every semi evil, quasi alien needs, an Italian sports car) Irwin Allen sure believed the adage, "Waste not, want not".

Only a small budget "presentation film", so assembly from the parts bin" was acceptable. If the concept had pleased investors and the network, more resources would have been brought forth for a broadcast quality telefilm, maybe with more visuals and music unique to this effort (compare "City Beneath the Sea" test film 1967 with actual broadcast version pilot).

Irwin's go-to series in the wake of Land of the Giants were "these two": "25th Century" and "City Beneath the Sea". Yes, you're right overall. The 60s high camp and Action fantasy wave had crested. There really would be no place for this afterwards. Fizzle of The Invaders only made this more obvious. I'd like to believe that City Beneath the Sea might have had a slight chance if only on the drawing boards -- early 70s "weather" on prime time was blowing about with more conventional fare. But maybe "City" might have found a brief niche with water and tech, but would promoters find themselves in the same corner where Voyage Bottom Sea was when it needed bigger numbers?

Irwin Allen ...ahead of his time? Yeah like obviously a few decades on there is a real land of giants, cheap cardboard aliens under the sea and a genuine tunnel through time in an undergrond lab! C'mon ...what planet or dimension do you come from to spout this stuff? Irwin Allen was the cheesiest of cheese and the wrongest of wrong in terms of scientific accuracy and prediction. I know they were all just cheaply made entertainments but still they could have made some effort. Its often possible to bend or have speculative science that still looks viable and keep a good story. In fact often they can improve it. Virtually all sci shows of the 1960s , 1970s where hopelessly wrong and in a way almost created a whole new category of 'anti-science' fiction.

This was a presentation film budgeted at only $100,000. It was necessary to use as many existing props and even artwork as possible. Had the response been better, a full pilot would likely have been commissioned, as was done with "Land Of The Giants" and "City Beneath The Sea". Unfortunately, 'City' didn't get picked up as a series.

This was only a "test film". It would have been interesting to see what a "fully financed" pilot would have looked like.

Indeed. SF always chancy on the Networks back in the day. If fate had smiled on it, there was something to work with.

I Guess I can understand why it didn't, it has a Lost In Space type of look to the show.
@AdmiralNelson10002 ай бұрын
As noted, idea was to spin it off of a Lost In Space episode. Also at the time, Lost In Space appeared to be in the safe bet for renewal, and the SF Wave on the networks hadn't quite crested yet, but it would quite soon.

Too bad they didn't use that ramp on the Jupiter 2 for the Chariot in Lost In Space!

using music and sound from Lost in Space as well as footage of the Jupiter 2 crash landing...so cheap! Good to see the interior of the Jupiter 2 was refitted with Time Tunnel computers!! He did predict self-driving cars!!!

Looks like they either found the Jupiter 2 (Lost in Space) or re purposed it. that space ship he took to earth looked vaguely like it. lol

Parts bin was raided for the making of a test film. If investors were impressed, a better equipped actual pilot would come forth.

This failed pilot resembles Buck Rogers in reverse. A man from the future that returns to Earth. Interesting idea. However, the pilot was a good idea for a television series but it lacked that extra special treatment. Why did they use the same stock footage from Lost In Space, music and sound effects? James Darren looks very young. I was watching him in the season seven of Star Trek DS9 and he didn't age at all.

FortOmnicron54 Irwin Allen was a very cheap person. Soon as shooting from one show was finished, he'd take the props and use them on another show. Sometime without modifying it. And of course this included the musical backgrounds scores, etc. In the documentary "Pioneers of Television", they showed all of the craziness that went on at the studios, while Irwin was making these shows and some of his antics.

FortOmnicron54 This was a test pitch for network execs to get the idea of the proposed show if and when it would be given the go ahead to go into production. So some scenes had only artwork and re-used a lot of stock footage from other shows. Basically if you had a spaceship shot in space you could lift it from a previous show. But the exec's knew that it would be replaced with a new shot. In the Land Of The Giants pitch they again used the Jupiter 2 and shot a few scenes with the little people. But that show was green lit so they built a new spaceship one full size and several scaled miniatures. Irwin did this for all his shows, as many others did as well. Sometimes the network liked something but still showed their advertisers if they would like their product or service played on a proposed new show. If they got enough commercial/advertising money. A show could go into production even if the network didn't think much of it.

This was just a short demonstration Pilot. It would have been ridiculous to spend money on creating props and sets that might never be used; all that could be created later if the concept was picked up by the network.
