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. :-(

one of my favorites growing up, along with the shorter-lived Time Tunnel also by Irwin Allen

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!

@wax0n I'm a year older then you and i also loved watching all of Irwin Allens' shows back in the 60's

even with thier mistakes they were and still are great shows to watch..

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.

@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..

[Mikey300]

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.

[Hendo56]

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!
