To think I once owned this 1966 Hogan's Heroes lunchbox as a kid which is now a collector item worth hundreds of dollars.

I first saw Anne Francis in Forbidden Planet, only to see her turn up in 1965 in this TV series:

Hugh, thank you for making this thread interesting by bringing up Star Trek and Forbidden Planet. (Yeah, I like science fiction.) The protagonist in Forbidden Planet, commander John J. Adams, was played by a young Leslie Nielsen, who later became known for starring in lots of hilarious parody movies. |

Yeah, the sustaining membership check I sent in. No idea what's going on over there.

By the way, I wasn't implying that the other people in this thread posted nonsense. After all, ColdFire mentioned Knight Rider, and Ray mentioned Airwolf, which are two good TV series that I used to watch when I was a kid in the 1980s (although they can't beat Star Trek).

In this episode, the crew of Fireball XL-5 are headed for New Earth, a human colony (of all white puppets, btw) that has settled there. The series 39 episodes were all filmed in black & white, and if you've ever watched all 39 of them (as I have) you'll recognize the storylines of a number of original Star Trek episodes. "Steve Zodiac" (no kinship to the Zodiac Killer™) served as the "Captain Kirk" of the interstellar-capable rocket ship that journeyed to many alien planets over the course of its run.
Captain Zodiac with the beautiful Dr. Venus of the XL-5: Only one of the 39 episodes was ever "colorized" - "A Day In The Life Of A Space General" - and the results were excellent: The full colorized episode: And the closing credits theme song: |

I remember Fireball XL-5, too. I even had a toy Fireball at the same time as my Hogan's Heroes lunchbox. Gerry Anderson of course, later produced The Thunderbirds, UFO and Space: 1999. Funny, that picture of the Moon's surface in the thumbnail looks like the same location as Moonbase Alpha.

After leaving the 23rd century, "Captain John Adams" (Leslie Nielsen) took on Secret Service Agent James T. West back in the 1870's: Oh, yeah: "Scotty" from Star Trek turned up in the premiere episode of The New Breed: |

Another example of retro-TV, this one a TV movie from 1970 that is very relevant today:

That was a very good movie, and quite prophetic. What's interesting about it is that one of the very first electronic computers in the 1940s was called 'Colossus' and used in WW2 by British Intelligence at Bletchley Park to decode German cryptographic messages.

Starlost. I haven't seen that show since it was new back in 1973. Good find, Hugh.

Jew Jew Abrams' Star Trek 2009 was insipid too, but at least they got an actual Russian, Anton Yelchin, to play Chekov instead of a New York jew like Walter Koenig.
