Been Watching Irwin Allen Stuff...

[Sandy G]

...On Thursday nights on American Lifetime Network. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants, & of course, Lost in Space. There was a reason Irwin's programs only lasted a year or 2, 3 at most: They STUNK !! This from a life long Lost In Space fan. "Time Tunnel", which could have been pretty interesting, was arguably the silliest of the bunch. Irwin must have had a standing order for his writers-When in doubt, have the characters fight. If you need to burn up time, have the characters fight. Since Irwin used more or less the same production team on all his shows, you can see pretty much the same show played thru all 4 series. We thought they were such Hot Shit whenever we were kids, & were dismayed when they got cancelled, but now, as a 50 yr old, they're so feckin' DUMB as to be almost unwatchable. Or am I being a pooperhead as usual ?!?-Unca Sandy
