Just wanted to see what brought people onto this site.
Believe it or not, I'm not a giant Irwin Allen fan that you might expect. I saw both of the Lost in Space pilots, the unoriginal unaired one I liked a bit (although with them suddenly barely escaping death a couple of times got old quick, but then, Irwin Allen DID earn the nickname of "master of disaster" a few years later!), the other one I liked even less. I didn't see anything past the pilot of Land of the Giants either. When I started researching Allen, I saw where he made the tv movies of Fire! and Flood!, making me go "oh wow, I vaguely remember those", since I was like 10 or 12 when they aired. I also saw The Swarm when I was a kid too but I don't recall too much from it.
However, I am liking the first several episodes (before it sounds like I'm ragging on Allen here!) of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and I watched every episode of The Time Tunnel. I had heard a couple of things about the latter here and there in the past and was looking through a search for "sci-fi" on Hulu last year when I ran across that, going "oh yeah, I always meant to check that out". I would also like to see his versions of Alice in Wonderland and one or more episodes of Swiss Family Robinson but they haven't been available...they might never be. Same goes for The Time Tunnel tv movie of Aliens from Another Planet, editing three episodes into the one movie. I'm curious as to how those came out.
How about yourselves?
