Space: 1999 and Cosmos were two of my favorite series when I was a kid. I would have liked an Airwolf revival, but the failure of Knight Rider put that in the ground.
My expectations on this are very high. They will need more than flashy space scenes. Space:1999 will have to do at least as good as Battlestar Galactica on SyFy.
I loved 99 as a kid. It is hard to watch now sometimes. I bought a scale model die cast eagle a long while back.

As a kid, I had the big Eagle and a few of the people Long lost/probably destroyed by other yutes my mom watched while I was in the service for a few years. A lot of my 80s GI Joes were broken, missing parts, and damaged.
