This is a reply to many of the Posts... Space 1999 is available on dvd on Netflixs (netflixs.com) I've been renting one every now and then, the production quality is great, but the stories tend to lack action. The company that did S1999 also did the UFO series, which is also available on Netflixs.. man what hoot that show is! It's as 'out there' as Austin Powers, only they aren't trying to be funny. Gerry Anderson, that's the guys name that produced the shows, he also did the Thunderbirds, the puppet based Scifi, which had some cool ships, make a good shipset.. The distrubution company was ITV.. they also distributed the Muppet Show. Now about FireFly.. which was my favorite new show..dang it...I looked into it a couple of months ago, they were trying to move over to UPN, which carried his other show.. Buffy T.V.S. There was a petition and a full page ad in Variety bought by fans to thank the cast for a job well done. Don't know if there has been any progress in Last few weeks. Fox was just stupid on this one, they really screwd the pooch....
Thanks for the mention of BBBBBuck Rogers...memories of Erin what's-her-name in spandex...grrrowl baby...yea!!!
Is there a shipset that is made up of a mishmash of famous scifi ships? That would be cool.

have fun kids,

The CGI animated Starship Troopers series is called Roughneck:The Starship Troopers Cronicles.

Save Farscape!

Best ABSOLUTE best sci fi show on TV on Fridays at 8pm Eastern on SciFI. Catch it before it goes off the air, thanks to dimwitted Vivendi and USA network execs.

Amen Brother!

It is the best show on TV and both the network and the Emmys screwed them! Sorry critics, but the Shield is god awful it it is only "good" because they say **** on TV and show nudity.

Um... the 10,000 ships were not in firing range in that episode? Plus they did have other ships from the new Commonwealth bLasting the space around them. "We're going to carpet-bomb space?!"

Something similar in the pilot movie happened. 10,000 enemy ships, but only a small percent were actually in range and firing on the ship?

CGI Starship Troopers?!!! Where can I see that at?
Until then I love Enterprise, but have a strange feeling this season is gonna be erased and set back to the beginning due to some Temporal tampering.

Please where can I see Roughnecks at.

Still got my UFO lunch box!!!!

The only place where you can see Roughnecks is at your local video store. AFAIK, they've never been shown on tv. You'll probably have to special order them now, because I don't normally see them at my video store. I don't have any of them either. Just another thing to add to my list of wanted dvd's.

We got the Starship Troopers series on TV for a while down here, but it aired during my lunch hour, so I got to watch it on the TV in the restaurant but not listen to it. It's the best CGI I've ever seen done for TV, and it has the Skinnies in it. The troopers are shown in power armor, too. But I can't tell you if the dialogue is any good.
