He should have paid a little more attention to detail. The Jupiter II in Lost In Space was bigger on the inside than it was on the outside; the Seaview's bridge/control room layout did not agree with the exterior shots of the sub. Just minor details...
There was only one Allen production that I turned my nose up against. He brought James Darren back to play a man from the future, who has a time-traveling car. It's not even bad enough to be good.
@@zoppie the show, or pilot presentation, you are talking about is The Man from the 25th Century (1968). I never liked it on first viewings but repeat viewings did wonders for it. Thanks for watching my video. Stu.
I Do like VTBS but my favourite by far is Time Tunnel. I find time travel stories interesting because i love history and it would be nice to be able to travel through time.
Interesting the connections you found. I've always felt that Irwin Allen's shows start off very strong, but then go from strong episodes to very schlocky alien stories. Time Tunnel (one of my faves growing up in the '60's) had some really interesting time travel around actual (or reasonably imagined interpretations) of actual historical events. But then come all the goofy aliens. In an alternate universe, Gene Roddenberry, rather than Irwin Allen was the creative force behind these shows. Despite the relative lack of inter-episode references in the original Star Trek series, there was still enough character development to make Star Trek a whole world unto itself, decades with motion pictures, variants, and spin-offs later. Irwin Allen's shows? Not so much. That being said, we have to take these as they are, with some very good high points, and some fair-to-middling, and some, well, yeah.
@@TheUtube666 in two weeks I am putting up another video titled "Voyage meets Star Trek" which addresses some of the issues you mention here. For that reason I will not comment on your post now. Thanks for watching. Stu.
i like both...when i look at the album computer world by the german band kraftwerk how they dressed and the settings it reminds me of voyage to the bottom of the sea. even one of the members from kraftwrek looks like mr spock.
No. He has never cracked a joke and that is why I like him. Despite the crazy things going on (historical figures suddenly materialising in the complex, etc) he played it all deadly seriously! The only way to do it. If it went the other way it would have turned into Richard Dean Anderson in Stargate - WRONG.
Sadly, James Darren passed away about a month after this video went up. RIP James Darren.
I too love anything Irwin Allen but especially your favourites, Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Excellent shows for their time.
Excellent for any time. Thanks for watching my video.
I like all of Irwin's shows, sometimes they went off the rails but there are lots of great and memorable moments. Thanks Stu!👍👍
Thanks.
Irwin Allen could do no wrong, love them all.
Thanks for watching

Whit Bissell. Has he ever cracked a joke?
Yes, he was full of whit!

Voyage/Star Trek.
Same show. One in the deep ocean.
The other in deep space.
Funny you should say that, I have made a "Voyage meets Star Trek" video to go up in two weeks!
