space1999 or U.F.O

[ANTONY-S]

Now there's two shows that should be remade.

I hear blakes7 is coming back.

[txteach]

I love both shows but UFO is what I watched with my dad on Saturday afternoons so I'd have to go with it.

[Mikey]

I always considered UFO as more of a spy show hiding under a sci-fi banner.

[wolfie]

Both shows were good with UFO being the better of the two ( imo ).

God forbid that either show will be remade, re-imagined, or re anything else.

[Gorn Captain]

I liked both the way they are: very cool and unemotional, very stylized, very "retro".
Any remake would "undo" the whole feel of the shows completely, IMO.

It was like 2001: the TV series...

[AAAAA]

Now you know hollywood will screw it up

[Al Barrett]

Hollywood is already screwing up big time with Speilberg attempt at a TINTIN movie!!!
It'll be like that Sgt pepper movie with Frampton&Bee Gees(George Burns) biggest flop of
all time bar none!...

The thing about UFO and Space 1999 ... most of the characters are "stiff"

Almost like they popped out of Captain Scarlet

I don't think a remake would harm them any.

>most of the characters are "stiff"

Y'know.... you're right; but I think that's part of what makes the shows unique. Especially UFO. Straker seems like the kinda guy that'd do whatever it takes to beat the aliens, and NOT moralize about it afterwards.

Good or bad, it's part of the show and a new version would doubtless lose that.

Space 1999

[trekman101]

I miss "space 1999" and would love to see it get made again

British SCIFI

Loved the purple hair on UFO but Space 1999 was the best. If only Barbara Bain could project some warmth somewhere. Still a cool concept, even if the style is a bit dated. I just noticed last night that The Prisoner episodes are available on my on-demand freebie section. Guess what I am going to be watching!

The one thing that always makes me laugh when I watch 1999 ... Their chairs look like cheap plastic Walmart patio chairs

I finally got to see a bit of UFO in recent years, still surprised with how much cross-over there was between UFO and 1999 (Year 1), both infront and behind the camera. If you think you've caught all the similiarities.., you most likely haven't. The Catacombs site's the best 1999 site available..:

UFO

Year 1 Space:1999 will always, ALWAYS be my show. It was an honor to talk to Barry Morse at length at one of his last appearances (Tampa, FL), even thank Nick Tate for inspiring me to enter military service.. Like most folks with 'their show', it's not so much the show itself, but where/when you were in life, when it entered your life.

The 2 1/2 ft Mattel Eagle ship STILL rocks.., especially with the custom decals from a Canadian Modeler's site (jbot.ca) for both the ship and the figures.

Sometimes, stiff is the only way something works properly.
