In Reply to: No Farscape fans??? Have you all gone mad? posted by late on November 27, 2001 at 06:52:46:
The only thing I'd differ with you about is that "Lost in Space for the 90's" comment. IMHO, Lost in Space was crapola in the 60's, especially when compared with it's competition at the time (i.e., the original Star Trek), and judging from several episodes of "the dysfunctional Space Family Robinson" I caught in the interim, the series hasn't aged much better than my recollections of it!OTOH, Farscape is truly clever. Animatronic Jim Henson Studio characters notwithstanding, the adult situations frequently woven into Farscape's storylines demonstrate that it's not just targeted toward a kiddie audience as was the goofy 60's era space farce you mentioned! Note: Irwin Allen's weekly escapades almost invariably focused on the silly antics of the bumbling Dr. Smith and his gullible moppet-ally Will Robinson, usually in conflict with one or more poorly costumed aliens on a painfully obvious in-studio planet scape.
BTW, sorry about not responding earlier, but I just noticed your post and this thread.
Cheers,
AuPh
