I know what you mean. I remember playing in the snow till I was exhausted. I checked the time carefully cause I didn't want to miss batman. I ran home. my mother had made me a home-made cheeseburger and fries. I ate while watching batman. the burger was great. batman was more than great. life was good. a happy childhood.
Stupid stock footage with different uniforms and doors! Great Alex Courage music, though. Show was good once a week, but a pain to watch in continuity...
@ 2:06 "Hard right rudder!" ... but the sub goes left again, lol! I never caught this stuff as kid -- still a great show tho. Thanks for posting this!
I saw David Hedison once at a convention. He said Irwin Allen really pursued him to play Captain Crane, which he didn't want to do. But once Basehart signed on, he figured what the heck. He said he later found out why Irwin wanted him- so he could use stock footage from the movie "The Lost World", which Hedison appeared in! :) And as you mention, they made an entire episode based on footage from the movie "The Enemy Below". Whose plot was also used for the Star Trek "Balance of Terror" show.
The stock footage may be from Dick Powell's "The Enemy Below" (1957), which as a Twentieth Century-Fox production would likely have been available to Uncle Irwin.
The first and only use of the "ultrasonics" weapon. The stock footage from some warship movie doesn't exactly fit in... and looks nothing like inside the Seaview!
@Hendo56 It does have the interesting effect of making the inside of Seaview look bigger than it does most of the time. You are right, it doesn't look right, it looks like a surface ship..
In 1966 i was 8, years old, and all of the shows you see on the right,were all the shows i was watching, and the best.I remember hurrying home, from school, to be home to watch batman, It's funny, that all the shows, were top shows of there day, but now i'm an old git (53.5) you can see all the mistakes, but there still the best, ever!!! These shows come from a time when, Now on reflction, life was good, things were cheap, money was scarce, no scames, (well not many) And mum was here. :-(
I heard on the Science channel the Japanese had a submarine that could surface and launch aircraft but because the war came to an end they didn't use it to launch any plane and for fear of the Russians discovering it's technology the Americans destroyed it, but was the basis of modern subs that can launch missiles.
when i was a kid,that "show" sometimes scares the little bejesus out of me ! that and (supermarionation) sting ray etc... i guess i had a little phobie about underwater adventure . thanks for bringing back those great memories
Nice to see them using footage from the original Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea movie. You can tell by the number of windows on the Seaview's nose. There are eight instead of four.
Did this scene use some underwater shots from the Walter Pigeon movie (1961) version? I ask because the windows in the glass nose in the beginning of this episode are different than the smaller and more windows that are shown as the Seaview tries to escape the drone.
@ignoblius What a silly question...duh ? the same messages as the unlabeled flashing lights that were in the Jupiter ll and at the command center in Time tunnel
Watch the first 2 season's on hulu d o t c o m...Can't figure out why the series dropped off the air 15 years ago. So as not to interfere with videotape and DVD sales probably.
I know that this is nit picky B. S. but what the hell. The sub chase where the drone sub keeps firing was used not only in the 1961 feature but also in the pilot episode: "Eleven Days To Zero", where it was also a drone with a bald Theo Marcus suddenly replacing a bald Werner Klemperer practically in mid scene. Yes, it didn't make sense to me either. A continuity problem popped up with Cranes brown holster suddenly changing to a black one in a short sequence. I'd like to see a bridge schematic!
After a few episodes you knew the sailors in the red boilersuits were going to get killed by the alien ,baddies or deformed mutated fish first before the crew were alerted
I'll bet it was those no good Commie Pinko Facist Anarchist Maniacs who were behind this devilish plot, but the heroic peace loving American sailors of the American submarine Seaview saved the day (and the world) again! Hooray for us!!!!!
At least one of the four guys coming down the spiral staircase had a pistol in his hand...what's he gonna do--shoot out the rear open torpedo tubes? LOL
when crane opens the hatch he has a light leather pistol holster when he enters the periscope room he has a dark leather holster in the conclusion nelson has a dark leather holste crane has none
@ 4:50 didn't know what hit them- right on

"VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA" was ABC's Sunday night treat,in
the late 60s. this was Irwin Allen in his prime,shortly before his "master of disaster"
title hung over him. in this time period,the series was superior,with LB Abbott's
Emmy winning SPFX,as the underwater scenes were indeed genuine,using the
now defunct Fox mote. even with today's FX,nothing could outdo these great
scenes! even when Irwin Allen shot his "RETURN OF CAPT NEMO" mini-series
at Warner Bros. in 1978,it failed,badily!
