Very subjective. I find Space 1999 to be one of the best shows, albeit monstrously flawed in premise.

Mine too! Martin Landau, Barbra Bain, oh man...

Opinions are like you-know-whats...

I'll second that! I watched Space:1999 when I was 10 - 14 years old and loved every minute of it.

1999 had the visuals, music but I have to agree the premise had problems.

The second season is what I’d rather forget about.

There was nothing subjective about Barbara Bain back in her day. A most attractive and talented woman.

Space 1999 may not have had the greatest writing at times but the special effects and miniature work that was done still holds up very well.

It also has an incredible number of guest stars who went on to other things like Christopher Lee, Julian Glover, Peter Cushing, Brian Blessed, etc.

The camera work was also something to really enjoy, as it could really set up a suspenseful moment or recreate the feeling of isolation and loneliness for the inhabitants of Moon Base Alpha.

It helped me develop a love of all things space related, as did Cosmos and other sci-fi series.
