Sure would have solved a lot of problems.
Barbara Bain, woof.
Due to the dearth of Scifi back in the 70s on TV I watched this ...but it was purely kid stuff like the original battlestar galactica. Not very good
Even though it hasn’t aged well, I still like 1999.
Got to meet Martin Landau at a DragonCon a few years back. Great guy and I got to talk with him for a minute.
I recall watching it on TV.
IIRC, when it ended, it was a 2-parter, and for some reason I was unable to watch (pre-VCR era) and never knew what happened.
I have not found the complete series or final episodes online.
Y’know...I was thinking about this in the shower this morning, remembering that.

If We Had No Moon
The Earth has a large moon, making it unique in the inner solar system. Mercury and Venus have no moons, and Mars has only two small asteroid-sized objects orbiting it. In this essay, the father of the SMART-1 lunar mission, Bernard Foing of the European Space Agency, looks at the effect the Moon has had on the Earth, and explores how different our world would be if we had no planetary companion. Would life have evolved differently, or even appeared on Earth without the Moon?

Robert Conrad (according to the commentary on the DVD) said he saved the Wild Wild West.
But, what he did to 1999 wasn’t well received. Then again, he didn’t have much to work with on that show. Remember that Star Wars was made at the same time as Space 1999.
