Seaquest vs. Earth-2

[Mikey]

Back in the day (1994-ish) it was Seaquest or Earth-2

Both were on at the same time so you had to choose one.

Which did you choose ?

Earth-2 for me

In my neck of the woods, it was on the same channel, one after the other (Earth 2 first, then Seaquest), so I didn't have to choose. But I do have a Nathan Bridger action figure visiting the crew of Star Trek TNG.

I turned my Playmates Bridger into a custom Dr Smith

It actually looked pretty good with little effort -- wish I still had it

I remember watching both, but Sequest is was just off and on. I was a regular Earth-2 viewer. Both left me wanting more however.

I watched earth 2 only because Clancy Brown was in it for about 3 weeks and got bored with it. Never could get into seaquest. Not sure if it was the blond kid or the dolphin as I really liked Roy Scheider in most things he did

[Mikey]

Same here,

I wanted to like Seaquest (hoping it was like VTBOTS) but it turned out rather boring --- at least for my taste.

Also, like you said a clone Wesley Crusher didn't help matters any.

Lastly, the sub itself just wasn't cool looking ....

I like Roy Schieder a lot, but just his presents wansn't enough

SEAQUEST ...E2 was to blah ...

Well for me, Sunday nights back then were DA BOMB. I loved Earth 2 at 7pm, followed by Seaquest at 8, (I have a t-shirt roo), and Space: Above and Beyond at 9. It was a Sci-Fi kinda night!

I watched Earth-2 but never watched Seaquest.

Me too Mike,I was hoping it was going to be like Voyage but it was not,never saw an episode of Earth 2 though.

Earth 2 was my favorite show on TV during that time...but it was abruptly cancelled after only one season, and left all of us hanging...that was the beginning of my hatred towards Network TV.

Seaquest was a decent show...I liked it (not as much as Earth 2 though)...too bad about that young actor, Jonathan Brandis...his acting career was on the downslide...and he committed suicide at age 27...poor young man...I thought he was a good actor...

Seaquest by far,earth 2 started out good ,but was boring afterthe first hour of the pilot,the 1st season of
seaquest was the best,i have the two seasons on dvd (third never came out).i bought the playmates figures,the only
thing i didnt like to much was Lucas ,the westly crusher of the sea,who i also thought sucked.

Earth-2 I did watch a few seaquest but liked Earth-2 way more.

[HardyGirl]

I know...I really liked his acting. He was in a holiday movie called Good King Wencelslas, and he was excellent in that. He was also in a couple of Lifetime type movies, but he really showed his acting chops in Wencelslas. I was really sad when he took his life.

Then this will really frost you: Amblin produced both E2 and SQ and when Earth 2 was cancelled between seasons unexpectedly, seaQuest (which was going onto a third season) got all the Earth 2 props to recycle for the season 3 episodes.
