Saw The 2nd. Sea Lord via ABC News 24 the other day. A submariner's life is no life for a woman & would weaken any service that engaged in such folly. The confinements of thought would buckle if we sunk to such depths.
we didnt have much 3 tv channels but the quality made up,im glad i was a kid when i was .Many many thanks to the likes of Irwin Allen and Gerry Anderson for producing 'magic' and awe into the mind of a child absolutely compulsive viewing at kids tv time
Well when we've completely exhausted the World's supply of fish it's good to know that the Seaview discoverd whole new supplies in the depths below. Lobster Men - Seaweed Men - Menfish - The Fossil Men not to mention giant Squids and Jellyfish. A rare old feast for a hungry planet.
Lovely! Job well done. This unique series played a big part in my life. The cast, music, I even dreamed of living on the Seaview. May she sail on forever.
Anywhere where these episodes can be streamed in the UK for free? havnt seen it since the early 90's on hannel 4, ever on any random sky channels evev? good video
@blairz86 I to used to watch this on Sunday mornings on Ch4 in the early 90's. I have now the first season (the black and white season) on DVD. I've just pre ordered the second season. It may be worth your while saving up and buying them.
How on earth do you get such good sound quality to your videos such as this one? Do you have some tricks that stop YouTube compressing the sound into the usual mush?
@Zooney1 No tricks, really, I use Nero 10 for all of my video editing and when I finish a video, it creates a "web approptiate" sized video. There's minimal artifacting and no real obvious audio compression. However, this particular video was made a few years ago before I had Nero. I actually did this on Windows Movie Maker. The video is kind of poor, but the audio was fine. Go figure.
Rewatched this after you contacted me yesterday. I love your quips. The first time I watched it I was drunk and nostalgic. Not so today. I sometimes forget that Hollywood's job is to entertain and not so much to inform. But when i was a kid everything HW did both informative and entertaining. They forge the "gods" of tomorrow like Odysseus and the myth of the Golden Fleece. Nothing grabs the attention of the public like a "true" Hollywood Story.
Been a fan of Irwin Allen's 60's tv shows all my life.It would be so great to see episodes of Voyage to the bottom of the Sea,Lost in space,Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants again.Come on Sci-fI channel how about it?
Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea is still one of my all-time favorite TV shows. But it was absurd that a creature or a bad guy could pull out a few wires on the Seaview which invariably sent the Seaview to land on the ocean floor! Paul Sawtell's Closing Theme Song at the end of the black&white episodes is one of the greatest TV Theme songs of all-time!
While he's a fantastic actor, lets leave that anti-American Depp OUT of this! The choice of Olmos is, however, Brilliant!! Bale as Crane?? O'.K...I'll go with that, provided he don't flip-out. This was an all white cast so lets make chip ethnic as well(My Vote: Denzel Washington, yes?) Tho' I thought the idea of making West(in the Wild, Wild west movie) black was dumb, I could see it being done here for Crane. I like Bale, but how about Will Smith playing it serious. Hedison in Admiral cameo!!!
@RPenta I have to disagree. Jackson as Mace Windu is NOT the guy from 'Pulp Fiction'(name?). Jackson as Bruce Willis' antithesis-villain in 'Unbreakable' is not that businsessman(name?) featured in 'Deep Blue'. His new role in 'Sunset' is nothing like in 'Black Snake Moan'. Just as Smith's role in Fresh Prince is not his potrayal of Mohammad Ali. Nor is his role in 'The Legend of Bagger Vance' in any way simular to his role in 'Hancock'. Or perhaps his role in 'Hitch' as compared to his 'MIB'.
Great Job! That was a great episode till the giant scientist part at the end! Anyways, growing up it was always one of my favorite shows (and still is -- even though it's more for laughs now!)
@MisterEvasion: sorry you didn't care for the quips. They're hit and miss. At any rate, I'm working on a new one which will dispense with the off color humor. I hope you'll enjoy it when it's done. Thanks for watching at any rate.
Loved this as a kid. Why did they ping their way acroos the sea? Sure the real boomer guys today watch and laugh. I also rememeber Admiral Nelson in Spies Like Us, didn't he just represent the Cold war?? LOL
@Circumpunk: "Real Boomer Guys" didn't invent or create the technology they use nor have they ever done any Hollywood production work. My Dad did the former and I did the latter.
@paullubliner Thank God! Yet someone had to make it all digestible to the common public. I still think it was a great show in the 60's when I was in primary school. I doubt NASA had anything to do with Star Trek either, hahaha!
@Circumpunk I'm not sure what you mean by Nasa not being involved with Star Trek. However I CAN say that Roddenbury often callled Nasa scientists and asked technical questions for his first production of Star Trek. Read 'The Making of Star Trek'(Yes, I'm am a Trekkie...and I admit it freely...).'
@Velocity9s Whoa boy, all I meant was NASA did not have an official connection. They could have masterminded the whole process but America didn't "do that then"...before GE owned NBC. By the way can you imagine the Earth version of Star Trek without GE? I mean both the technology that lead to 'warp speed" or the moving pictures that capture the imagination of us all and drive us to there, to the progress that will get us to that reality? Technology...the two edged sword.
@paullubliner I don't know fer sure if they had naval atomic program boys as tech advisors on the show. I am a nurse and my son is a real naval atomic program guy, but does that mean that "E.R" is tied to The Hunt For Red October? My point was that what the real military guys did was clandestine or "classified" and that they'd have laughed at this show as much as my collegues and I did at E.R..Not that my job was classified, it just wasn't as dramatic as Hollywood sells us as reality.
@Circumpunk: My Dad did not laugh at the show. That's an indication of personal insecurities. He simply pointed out it was a kid's show and that there was "Too much wetted surface" on the Seaview which would have slowed it down. When I showed him the original Herman Blumenthal blue prints which did not have the front "Manta" fins nor the engine nacelle side fins, back his comment was "Now that makes sense, it would work!".
@paullubliner Without those fins it would have been just another sub to the naked eye and no one would have watched the show. Your dad was right about the wetted surface requirements when I look at it. How old were you when you showed him the blueprints? Was it before or after the series ended? Maybe just the year you did this would answer my question so as to not get too personal.
I remember this episode, the mad scientist made a clone of Nelson and was trying to get his memory to his clone. I remember this one. Damm I saw this a long time ago and I am now 46. F..T....S
Merveilleux feuilleton. Il ne faut pas comparer avec les effets spéciaux d'aujourd'hui, les acteurs extra Richard (super acteur de La strada de Fellini) et David Hedison quel beau mec !!!!!!!
The Seaview model shown on the surface was 16 feet long, and it was filmed at high speed so that when shown at normal speed, the water waves looked more like the ocean
Does anyone here remember the 'Shadow man' episode?, that was one of the ones I've never forget from back then, the bit I couldn't get was at the end when the shadow alien got killed by some sort of electrical feed back in the sub or something like that, it didn't quite make sense to me but it was still a brilliant story anyway.
@vividwatch47 YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ACTOR WHO PLAYED CURLY IN THE FIRST SEASON DID HE DIE OR JUST QUIT HE WAS GREAT I REMEMBER HIM ALWAYS PLAYING BAD GUYS
@mavivirgie, Henry Kulky (nee Kulkovich) died of a heart attack in the middle of filming of the first season of "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea", and his role went unfilled until Adam "Terry" Becker replaced him at the beginning of the second season. Kulky started out as a professional wrestler (he considered acting as an extension) and was one of the wrestlers who took on Mighty Joe Young in the tug of war contest in the film of the same name.
@mavivirgie, he was also in The Three Stooges comedy "A Snitch In Time" in which he plays one of the thugs the Stooges tangles with, and was Otto Schmidlapp on "The Life Of Riley".
@Circumpunk Please god don't let it be the half harted try that the Lost In Space Movie was. That film seemed like a TV pilot episode that they put on the big screen to recoup their losses!
@Circumpunk Edward James Olmos as Admiral Nelson, Johnny Depp as Kowalski, Christian Bale as Captain Crane, Matt Damon as the 1st officer and Simon Pegg as Chief Sharky.
@VinnyMonster1 Sorry bud, but you've got your current Hollywood powerflow chart out of order, but I'd love to "sea" the version you dream of. I think there should be a Quentin Tarrantino version of this...(only kinda kidding).
@VinnyMonster1 "For example, in one scene a character who was "killed" can be seen getting up as the actor prematurely made the move to get off the set. One critic has dubbed him as the "Jonas Brothers of movie directors" from wiki and I know how reliable that is...Hollywood and Bollywood and whatever "wood" I forgot to metion try to sell us illusion as reality. It's like going to a strip club. You go there enjoy the illusion and come home with empty pockets, not having scored. God help us!!!
I enjoyed a lot. I´m 43 years old from Brazil and remember a lot when I was a kid, not older then 10 years, some time around 1977, watching this show, pretending with my brother to be be in control of the flying sub..... GOSH, IT SEEMS JUST LIKE YESTERDAY....
Great video!!!!! This really brought back the memories. When I was growing up I always wished I had a flying sub. Yeah, me and thousands of other kids, I'm sure.
My late dad used to work with Del Monroe at the old Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery in Los Angeles. Del played Kowalski and was in practically every episode.
@caminhoneirodanoite. SOU DE FORTALEZA E TAMBÉM ASSISTIA A VIAGEM AO FUNDO DO MAR. ISSO FOI POR VOLTA DE 1977, EU E MEU IRMÃO ADORÁVAMOS ESSA SÉRIE. FAZIAMOS DE CONTA EM ESTAR NO CONTROLE DO SUBVOADOR, ERA O MÁXIMO. BONS TEMPOS......
i watched every week when i was young.. scary stuff back then.. we had 1 TV and 1 channel (no joke) we sat around as a family should and enjoyed it so much.. oh happy days... anyone got a time machine??
i remember watching that episode back in the day. i was watching it with my grandfather and he said right away that would put electricity into the hull to zap the giant man. i thought he was pyschic,but now i know that he had seen enough hollywood hack writing to figure it out
Both fun to watch and completely hilarious. Of course, that guy's clothing must be made of the same material as that of the Hulk...forever stretch wear!
I was a little kid when this show aired. The first time I saw the flying sub I thought it was real. It was really heart breaking to find out otherwise.
If these new designers update the FS or the Seaview, they will ruin their beautiful lines. They´re perfect, the Seaveaw lines are so gracefull. A beauty.
The show's first season plots were great and realistic. Problem was that the network put pressure on producers to keep the grit and violence down. This is why the show seemed more tailored to kids after 2nd season. But, imho, it was enjoyable sci-fi. Capt. Crane was my hero when I was very young, but as an adult watching re-runs, I realize that it was Richard Basehart's character of Admiral Nelson that helped to make the crew's characters more believable.
Almost strangelly, since I was a kid Nelson was the principal character of the show. Richard Basehart´s talents and charisma helped a lot this series to continue along the years, I think.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh my god it looks even cheesier than I remembered! I drove my family nuts when I was a teen, to watch this. Now, its just hilarious! What was I thinking?
3:25 IiYiYiYiddleiiYiYui I'm dancing and I don't know why *fizzpop*
I second reticulan5 (2 weeks ago) On models vs. CGI, You're filming a real 3D object as opposed to an essentially 2D picture.(Off a Commodore Amiga) As long as some tit dosn't walk into shot going "Rararrarr arr I'm a monster", giving the game away.
does anyone know where can i find a replica of the seaview on the net ? i´d like to buy one as i grew up watching this and other series such as time tunnel,land of the giants,ultraman,space 1999,etc,etc.
Sogam, a new scale model kit of the Seaview was released just a few years ago and is available in a number of hobby shops. It shows up on Ebay quite a bit.
I grew up in the 60's with this program. I thought it was so good! Although it looks a little out dated by today's standards, it is still great because back then the television had morals and values which we unfortunatelly lack of now! Good againts evil, not stupidity againts greed!
where did you get that music...? I have not been able to locate anything beyond what was released by gnp a few years back. I would tear out my own spleen for more!!!!!!
I liked the show growing up too, but my brother and I always called it: "Voyage to the Bottom of the Bath Tub." Well, come on. The special effects weren't that good.
The model effects still hold up pretty well and were, at the time, about the best on American TV. I'd still stack up a lot of the Seaview and Flying Sub shots against a lot of the work done today.
I'm with you my friend.Large scale miniatures beat anything C.G.I.Just look at Seaquest,the effects in that was dreadful.The Seaview travelling on the surface with the foamy seawater
splasing around her.The flying Sub flying through
the air and coming in and out of the sea.Are still the best effects I have seen to date.
Does anyone think this would be great as a modern day remake? Maybe a tv movie or series? I have such fond memories of this show, I was like 12 when I first saw it and was immediately swept-up into such a spirit of adventure and wonder that has never left me since. Just think of the possiblities of remaking this today, and the how a new generation could enjoy it.
Wiggly, it's strange but back in the 80s there was an NBC tv show called "Sea Quest". It was supposed to be a tribute to Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Futuristic sub (ugly though), plots dealing with espionage and sci-fi type situations and even one with a giant squid. I think Roy Schieder played the Captain. Still, there's nothing like the original.
I like the stills and the music, but could do without the profane humor. Would have preferred a straight tribute, or maybe a few funny captions without four-letter words. BTW, I have a couple of VTTBOTS cds, but I don't recall these musical cues being released without dialogue. Where did they come from?
Aw, it wasn' t that bad. There wasn't any actual swearing (F-that doesn't count - but I'll give you fat-assed). But considering the great response to the video, I was considering putting together another one. I'll keep that one less profane, to use your word. I'm a reasonable guy. I was actually punchy from putting it together at 2 am.
The music was from another source, plus some patching together from the DVDs. That's all I can tell ya.
I just bought the MOEBIUS models 40" SEAVIEW, for Christmas, with flying-sub and diving bell, and interir. It is a SuWEET model! Oh yes. Also got the MOEBIUS Space Pod from season 3 of LOST IN SPACE. CoolNESS!
We need another Irwin Allen today, to produce tv shows like this to inspire young people. Sadly, no one since his time has appeared to take his place or to match his wonderful creativity. And we need networks and the entertainment industry to once again take risks like they did in the '60's and produce provocative programs like Voyage, Lost in Space, Time Tunnel, and others.
The actor wrestling with the sub [ liam sullivan a veteran of the twilight zone ] almost drowned he said you have to drain the tank half way if you want me to finish filming.
THis theme music rivals even the Persuaders theme for shear i - dont- konw - what. And Richard Basehart, beautifully understated presence. And the finest speaking voice God ever gave a man.
I laughed my ass off watching that "mad scientist" eat everything each time he came into the room! "That was a good one" I have them ALL on DVD GREAT Job!
loved it.Gosh I had to fight to watch it with my sisters.1 T.V. and they watched disney......the time this guy got bigger and bigger and he picked up the sea view and they shocked him.Classic it was....
Thanks for the correction. I got sidetracked on the word "giant" and only 2 Star Trek episodes came to mind (the other was "What are Little Girls Made Of")
Wow, I didn't realize that the giant was Lliam Sullivan. He's played roles in various movies. Good actor, seemed to have a Shakespearean type of flare when he spoke.
He was in the twilight zone with franchot tone who won an acedemy award for mutiny on the bounty [ when tone was older he was married to a young actress named barbara peyton who was fooling around with guy madison tone got into a fight with him] .
Due, yeah, you're wasted. LOL. Yes, the fat guy is Victor Buono, King Tut from Batman. and no, the giant guy isn't Kirk. :-) He WAS in a Trek episode though.
Hey wait! That's a Star Trek uniform on that guy trying to bust up the Seaview. It's Kirk! That bastard was trying to wreck VTTBOTS before Star Trek hit the air! I knew it. It's a conspiracy. I'm still drunk, I need a life.
Nice, funny. I'm drunk. VTTBOTS doesn't get enough credit. It was stupid after season one, but better Seaview and flying sub. Best looking vessels ever.
Phroaw!!!!! Captain Crane, hot or what!

Not sure, this reminds me of Rat Patrol, Combat, and the rest. This show was Star Trek under the sea.
Roll right, roll left, avoid collision! I feel 6 all over again.

@Circumpunk I think they still do, only nowadays, Kowalski is black.
And Seaquest DSV (Depressingly Sad Vehicle) was also a Star Trek with water. Only Seaquest was utter garbage with no redeeming features whatsoever.

@Circumpunk Edward James Olmos as Admiral Nelson, Johnny Depp as Kowalski, Christian Bale as Captain Crane, Matt Damon as the 1st officer and Simon Pegg as Chief Sharky.

@VinnyMonster1 Sorry bud, but you've got your current Hollywood powerflow chart out of order, but I'd love to "sea" the version you dream of. I think there should be a Quentin Tarrantino version of this...(only kinda kidding).

@VinnyMonster1 "For example, in one scene a character who was "killed" can be seen getting up as the actor prematurely made the move to get off the set. One critic has dubbed him as the "Jonas Brothers of movie directors" from wiki and I know how reliable that is...Hollywood and Bollywood and whatever "wood" I forgot to metion try to sell us illusion as reality. It's like going to a strip club. You go there enjoy the illusion and come home with empty pockets, not having scored. God help us!!!

I loved this show, but it was a product of the Cold War and the plots reflected this. Still, it was a classic.
grandpadewey 2 years ago 4
The show's first season plots were great and realistic. Problem was that the network put pressure on producers to keep the grit and violence down. This is why the show seemed more tailored to kids after 2nd season. But, imho, it was enjoyable sci-fi. Capt. Crane was my hero when I was very young, but as an adult watching re-runs, I realize that it was Richard Basehart's character of Admiral Nelson that helped to make the crew's characters more believable.
ACLTony 2 years ago 3
you are so right the same thing with lost in space the 1 year of lost in space was so good but by year 2 it sucked
aghy100 2 years ago
Almost strangelly, since I was a kid Nelson was the principal character of the show. Richard Basehart´s talents and charisma helped a lot this series to continue along the years, I think.

I second reticulan5 (2 weeks ago) On models vs. CGI, You're filming a real 3D object as opposed to an essentially 2D picture.(Off a Commodore Amiga) As long as some tit dosn't walk into shot going "Rararrarr arr I'm a monster", giving the game away.

I grew up in the 60's with this program. I thought it was so good! Although it looks a little out dated by today's standards, it is still great because back then the television had morals and values which we unfortunatelly lack of now! Good againts evil, not stupidity againts greed!

The model effects still hold up pretty well and were, at the time, about the best on American TV. I'd still stack up a lot of the Seaview and Flying Sub shots against a lot of the work done today.

I'm with you my friend.Large scale miniatures beat anything C.G.I.Just look at Seaquest,the effects in that was dreadful.The Seaview travelling on the surface with the foamy seawater
splasing around her.The flying Sub flying through
the air and coming in and out of the sea.Are still the best effects I have seen to date.

Does anyone think this would be great as a modern day remake? Maybe a tv movie or series? I have such fond memories of this show, I was like 12 when I first saw it and was immediately swept-up into such a spirit of adventure and wonder that has never left me since. Just think of the possiblities of remaking this today, and the how a new generation could enjoy it.

If they do a remake,keep it the way the original was,including The Flying Sub,and the theme music.
wigglywoman 2 years ago 3
Wiggly, it's strange but back in the 80s there was an NBC tv show called "Sea Quest". It was supposed to be a tribute to Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Futuristic sub (ugly though), plots dealing with espionage and sci-fi type situations and even one with a giant squid. I think Roy Schieder played the Captain. Still, there's nothing like the original.

I like the stills and the music, but could do without the profane humor. Would have preferred a straight tribute, or maybe a few funny captions without four-letter words. BTW, I have a couple of VTTBOTS cds, but I don't recall these musical cues being released without dialogue. Where did they come from?

Aw, it wasn' t that bad. There wasn't any actual swearing (F-that doesn't count - but I'll give you fat-assed). But considering the great response to the video, I was considering putting together another one. I'll keep that one less profane, to use your word. I'm a reasonable guy. I was actually punchy from putting it together at 2 am.
The music was from another source, plus some patching together from the DVDs. That's all I can tell ya.

We need another Irwin Allen today, to produce tv shows like this to inspire young people. Sadly, no one since his time has appeared to take his place or to match his wonderful creativity. And we need networks and the entertainment industry to once again take risks like they did in the '60's and produce provocative programs like Voyage, Lost in Space, Time Tunnel, and others.
