You hit the nail right on the head, Scotpens. It was a TV show very much of its time & place in history that worked wonderfully then but not so much now.

The show can have some laughs here and there, but much of it now falls flat. Tiny Tim singing Tiptoe Through the Tulips still cracks me up. When he first appeared on the show, I thought this must be ... |

No doubt, the When World's Collide was not perfectly executed given the visual effects technology available in that era, but it looked more normal to me than a human constructed rocket ship returning ... |

They have some very nice remastered episodes of Voyage currently on Youtube. Still a silly series for the most part in my view. What I'm also noticing that they produced a ton of "bottle shows&q ... |

Bill Warren's review.
This is about as strange a film as any released in the 1950s. It has elements of comic opera, journalism melodrama, anticommunist propaganda, and atomic horror. Though well p ... |
