Because of the fast pace filming and low budgets, lots of rubber costumes were used for voyage. The best monsters are still from the early 1960s classic show , the Outer Limits. Top notch consistency.
I watched this series when I was a kid and finally I get to watch it again in 4k. Thanks for bringing it restored and in such high definition. Really enjoying it. 👏👏👍
I Was 6 yrs old when Voyage to the Bottom of the sea came out. I have come to realize now at age 63 that the ACTORS WERE ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING . They made you BELIEVE everything was really going on. Very convincing . Love This show now I really appreciate it more than ever . Thank you Toolman for these high resolution videos 10+😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Yes, the cast did a superb job. The stories had their ups and downs (pun intended) but the performances and production were always top-notch.
Irwin Allen - the KING of CHEESE! ... He so intuitively and masterfully understood that you have to keep it 'cheese', keep it camp, to allow the child in all of us feel PARTICIPATING in the fantasy by filling in the Holes of the Cheese with our own childhood fantasies! ... Even now, Do Not OVER-CGI It!! - YOU DESTROY THE CHEESE! .. (This is exactly what the different sequels of LIS failed to understand!) ... I am 67 now and both Vogage to the Bottom of the Sea and Lost in Space still allow the child in me to come out! ... 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I like that besides exploring space, the ocean was filled with the "unknown"- and when you're a kid when this show came out back in the 1960's, it was fascinating!
Irwin Allen was notorious for this he was a cheap producer always trying to save money with cheap costumes for aliens all of them terrible then he would rotate those costumes among his different shows with the same guy inside making the same dumb sounds.
You have to love the FX. These were times without CGI and people had to make all these costumes, back drops etc...as laughable as they are to us today, there was a ton of creativity back then! People had to WORK, not sit in front of a computer all day in their beanbag chair, drinking lattes.

It's interesting how this creature knows how to open and close doors, and knows that it needs to turn the door "wheel" to unlock the doors . But...Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea IS A GREAT PROGRAM.
Incredible to think as an ordinary bloke from Sheffield I'd get to meet a number of the cast and production crew on the show visit the soundstage ( 10)...and now watch this live on the Internet.. though I'm actually off to bed soon as its 00.06 here. Fabulous. Visually great ep but parts of the plotting were a bit hazy esp re the fake flying sub stuff but fun to watch, lovely matte shot of the shore too part way in, as ever beautiful work Tooleman..( the monster sounds like an old car I once had starting on a cold morning)..
You know, that’s a rather brilliant use of the Flying Sub interior set. More creative than the usual ‘backside of the FS’ set. But you know, they wanted the Seaview’s reactor to hatch those eggs, while the entire time they had the FS’s reactor sitting right there… 😁
Thanks again for another entertaining episode. The Saboteur is another worth watching if you can post it. Meanwhile may you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. 😊😊❤😊❤😊 10:27
Patterson really gets zapped in the "monster era"....more than Kowalski? You may recall at the start of this season Patterson was being groomed to be the show's resident hip new wiseguy (with Riley's departure)...seems that they dropped that idea and threw a lot of rough stuff at him instead....
Whenever you find something unknown that can be dangerous, make sure that you do two things. Only assign one person to watch it and make sure that the person that you assign is occupying themselves with listening to a walkman or sleeping like a cartoon sheriff. Under no circumstances post more than one and that one has to be totally irresponsible. The bigger the danger, the more irresponsible.
FS1 makes for a lousy reconnaissance craft. The view outside is limited to a not particularly wide angle forward. After all the stuff this crew has experienced, they've not installed any security camera system. Week after week, monsters can wander about , location unknown. These monsters walk as though zombies shuffling through molasses, but as soon as the fight is on they're super quick, including the feet. The "star system Scorpio" is the astrological name for the constellation Scorpius. One comes from a star, NOT a constellation of unrelated stars. They could have specified the most prominent of its stars, Antares, which would make more sense.
Interesting Question. ABC wanted "Outer Limits" Monsters in this Sunday 7pm timeslot but not "Limits" dramatics. The PTB wanted an all Action, pure Adventure show for the demographic that was drawn to the opposition, Lassie and Walt Disney. Recipe for the new format introduced that year was "dealing with opposition". This was judged to feed the action that was supposed to translate into high enough ratings to keep it on the air and adequately funded.
THIS SHOW. WAS 😎&😂. KIDS JUST GD ❤ IT. THE F.S., MONSTERS, GUNS... THIS SHOW &LIS. WERE ALMOST THE SAME. THEY HAD MONSTERS, GUNS, VEHICLES... BOTH WERE SILLY AT TIMES... BUT KIDS ❤ THEM...
According to Voyage lore, the "windows" are transparent hull plates, or "X Tempered Herculite" ( see online sources and the Voyage novel that accompanied the original feature movie).
Voyage wasn't necessarily going all-commando at the outset. After the Saturday Matinee pilot, the show headed in another direction. Commercial demands on a costly show prompted another move, a direction back to Popcorn. New Recipe called for All Out Action and Creatures were thought to be the needed bait for the young Sunday dinner audience. "There (always had) to be an "enemy" --- Ray "Crewman Ray" Didsbury. Note too that this was airing at the height of the Cold War and Vietnam; the Creatures are "filling in" for previous, more conventional "threats to national security". Voyage as "Outer Limits"? ABC had previously burned its fingers on that experience (they may have wanted more "B" monster plotting than the Limits staff ever wanted to give) and a looser fantasy may have been judged to be more "kid friendly". Curiously, ABC had Voyage "at war" much of the time, true. CBS took the other route with Allen s Lost In Space, much curtailing vigorous conflict to appeal to ITS early evening family audience.
I would sooner starve as a out of work actor than take a role in an Irwin Allen garbage production. What we watched on sixties crap TV was indescribable!.
I can't understand why any alien race would want to take the Seaview. It's a madhouse🪓🤪, and all the inmates carry guns🔫. The best place for it is at the deepest fathoms well away from the rest of humanity. Another fun episode 😅🤪🗝🗡🫣🫡
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Lost In Space ... a kid could live on those two shows. 🙂

Loved the show.. I used to run uphill from school to my home to watch the show from the beginning...5’❤❤❤❤❤’s...
Great renditions of just possibly the best television show ever! Even today, you still can't see special effects as good as on Voyage.
True! Thank you !
Good, tense episode. Really enjoyed. Thanks for posting!

This amphibious creature also appeared in an episode of "Lost in Space". Ridiculously entertaining. I love this show!!😁👍

Yes…”The Anti-Matter Man”.
@@historybuff66 Thanks, I wasn't sure the name of the episode.
@@historybuff66 He also appeared as a speaking character named Lemnoc in the episode "The Phantom Family" and a monster in "The Time Merchant."
@@clauderobotham6261 That’s right…I recall now John Robinson throwing that scythe weapon at it in “Time Merchant”.
Wonderful episode, fantastic quality.
Of course the monster heads to the reactor room. They all go there. It’s like moths to a radioactive flame.
They also have fun in the Circuitry Room.
That dude spooling the wire rope onto the drum at the opening made me nervous. I could see him getting maimed.
this is where the teletubies where invented :-D
Great stuff, helps to take my mind of my everyday problems. Picture quality is so good.
I love it. A giant egg and no containment around it. Sea View should know better.
And spoil the fun? NEVER! 🤣
Thank you so much for sharing those emissions with us!

I understand now...they are from another planet , not mindless creatures.
Very Nice. Thanks a lot.

@richardryan1846 Thank you! But try not to be overly concerned with the plots. They are not Voyage's strong suit.
😵💫
@@TooleManTV Yes, the strong suit was that FEEEELING of adventure, the smartness of the protagonists and... you know... I LIKED the plots too !!!
Manodura... thank you, I've got a soft spot in the heart for these wacky tales too.
Words fail me.
If I loved the Seaview, more the Flying Sub: we called in Puerto Rico and Lain America, ‘Aerosub’!!
Muuuy cierto !!!!
One day Seaview will be upgraded with fuses, or even circuit breakers
Where's the fun in that?
Who knows even a lock on the Circuitry room door!
You know, that’s a rather brilliant use of the Flying Sub interior set. More creative than the usual ‘backside of the FS’ set.
But you know, they wanted the Seaview’s reactor to hatch those eggs, while the entire time they had the FS’s reactor sitting right there… 😁
True! You've given me something to ponder.
7 yrs old when this first aired, lol ved the design of the sub and the flying mini sub
Ridiculous watching it now grown up. But it was the bees knees when i was a kid👍👍
Why ridiculous? The tech may be on par or even outdated next to what we have today, but it was it was still fine Sci-Fi by Irwin. 🙂
got to love skip homier, the voice behind a lot of creatures
I didn’t know that!
@@TooleManTV It's the voice of Jock Gaynor, not Skip Homeier.
It took me years before I realized that darkness and pressure were part of the bottom of the sea!
We just have to build the Seaview and the Flying Sub! .. Don't care how impractical or even useless - they are COOL!
I remember watching the repeat broadcast of this episode. August 27, 1967. I was 7 years old and getting ready to start the 3rd grade.
You have an amazingly good memory!
Every week some type of scary plastic monster wow scary.
Security, red shirts? Does that ring a bell to anyone???
Yep. Expendable!
Were these "red shirts" serving on a spaceship called Enterprise, by any chance?
Voyage to See What's on the Bottom!
That was the title of the MAD magazine parody you can find it online if you search for it the whole parody 5 pages of it.
Good
Thanks again for another entertaining episode. The Saboteur is another worth watching if you can post it. Meanwhile may you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. 😊😊❤😊❤😊 10:27
❤️The Saboteur. And other first season episodes like Mutiny and Submarine Sunk Here. 👍
Thanks, and the same to you!
SEAVIEW vs. the Aliens!
Why do all of the creatures in rubber suits always pick on Patterson?
It's his fishy scent!
Patterson really gets zapped in the "monster era"....more than Kowalski? You may recall at the start of this season Patterson was being groomed to be the show's resident hip new wiseguy (with Riley's departure)...seems that they dropped that idea and threw a lot of rough stuff at him instead....
POOR-SEA VIEW ALWAYS GETTING CIRCUIT BURN OUTS 😂😂😂
How did they manage to keep straight faces during the filming ?!
Even the monster was smiling...
when then pulled it up i said looks like an egg, the cocoon
When I was a kid I used to watch this show all the time not realizing what cheesy special effect they had. Makes me laugh now!
Cheese is good for you.

It looks like "Gilligan's Iland", lol..
HAHAHAHA! Put 'em in Congress!
Attack of the extra in the cheap rubber monster suit.
I wonder how many vtbs episodes that same crewman was killed, with a different name. Poor schmuck.
Just like the Star Trek guy who died a thousand deaths and reappeared.
This show is like watching star Trek under the ocean.
Wonderful,.how about the Green Hornet and Magnum Pi, for Christmas.
Well done enjoyed it thoughly
One of my favorites. Pure...Camp.

Doesn't matter 'cause it LOOKS super-cool!
WHEN THEY BROUGHT THE F.S. ON THE SHOW. IT'S JUST MADE THE MUCH COOLER. WHO'S DIDN'T ❤ THE F.S....
Remember, never turn your back on a giant egg you just fished out of the bottom of the ocean!
😆
I have a sneaking suspicion that those are not aliens but men in rubber suits.
HERESY!
You SURE about that?😅
Well one things for sure it ain’t Godzilla’s 🥚
Omg! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"CONTROL ROOM..ITS A FOOL DRESSED UP IN A AWFUL RENDITION OF A HELL BOY COSTUME". Request permission for help to control my. LAUGHING!!!
this creature was my shop teacher in junior high
When you writers have a lsd problem
great, lazer guns on flying sub
Love it!
Funny how all of the technology of the future is created with roman candles and sparklers on the inside.
Excelente visión, fantásticos monstruos.
These lobsters are ready to eat...😂😂...
Why aren't there any friendly alien's I'm sure there must be and how come the Seaview keeps getting them!

Amazing these advanced aliens can speak English, but their own language seems to be grunts...
Two words: Universal Translator
Still come out as grunts...@@mariakelly90210
Even the creature's voice is the same as the mummified alien that takes back the wish machine from Dr Smith.
Yep!
I mean, '60s Star Trek had bad Alien costumes but damn!!
Space Russian roulette table from Lost in Space in cave.
THE SMELL OF THAT OF THAT EGG😢😢😢😢 LET ALONE THE CREATURE.. And where is the MESS DECK? And what are the windows made of Transparent ALUMINUM😂?
According to Voyage lore, the "windows" are transparent hull plates, or "X Tempered Herculite" ( see online sources and the Voyage novel that accompanied the original feature movie).
why does all films encountering alien species make them the bad guys? we are the bad guys, the piranhas of the universe.
