Space 1999 Season 1 and 2 1975-1977

[Nostalgiabuff]

I have picked up quite a few of the sets, have maybe half of the overall series run. I like it and have enjoyed the episodes I have. it can be a little slow at times but the show itself is pretty cool and has a certain 70's charm to it. I guess if nothing else it is nostalgia. I realy liked the show as a kid.

I am a big enough fan of the series to have gotten them when they were first released (more expensive). I like Season 1 more than season 2.

ok best time to mention this is now:

I have sets 1 and 2 (the first 12 eps) and i DO NOT need them. Pretty much you pay shipping and they are yours!!!!!

I picked up the original huge 17(or was it 18) disc set when the thing was over 100$. They then re-released this in much slimmer cases and dropped the price more than half (figures)

SO whomever shoots me a PM will get sets 1 and 2 (first 12 eps) and you pay shipping only

I've been watching the first season again, episode here and there. I still prefer it, but then again I didn't see much of it as a kid. I really approached Space 1999 as adult watching, with hardly any remembrances. I think I would have found the first super boring as a kid. All I'd say is, if you can, see both. There's a few on youtube right now if you can stand watching them that way. But definitely sit through both once.

I really prefer season one as well, since Bergman is my favorite character. I bought the complete series on dvd off of ebay about two years ago for around $40.

Season-1, especially the first half of the season had a nice unusual feel to it ... They hated being on Alpha and couldn't wait to evacuate to a suitable planet.

The last half of Season-1 and all of Season-2 they seemed more like they were on the Star Ship Enterprise just cruising along in space and having normal Star Trek style adventures.

That's a pretty astute observation.. I felt the same way about Season 2, but you're right about the latter half of Season 1. Never quite thought of it that way. The element of 'we-got-to-get-off-this-rock' seemed to dissipate, but they were still being haunted by the 'unknown forces' (Dragon's Domain, Arkadia), so the 'spooky kind of coolness' still permeated the first year which I loved.

I loved the last 8 episodes so much I ended up buying on ebay the entire 17 dvd box set from 2002 for $37.48 shipped not a bad deal .I just sold that individual set 8 I had bought

[Mikey]

That's a sweet deal ... Mine cost $115.00 back in the day.

It was a gift, so I actually didn't buy it anyway

Is this the same set you own Mike I know they re released it in 2007 with slimmer cases but its essentially the same thing.

[Mikey]

The set I own is called the Megaset

DVD's have 3 stories per disc.

It has both seasons in one large box with individual full size cases inside.

My set did NOT come with the bonus disc.

I watched some more episodes this weekend. I think I like season 2 better specially since more episodes were done on location not in film stages.I do miss Professor Bergman character.but I like the Bil Frasier and Tony Verdichi characters alot.
