Watched reruns during the 1970s, then the full series in the 2000s.
Episode 1 showed great promise. 2-6 are OK, but many sloppy plot devices. Like, Straker complaining about security, but all locks are easily picked with a paper clip. The writers want to show the advances in race relations of the '60s, but women are treated like dirt. Still, there are some cool glimpses of the future from the eyes of the '60s, and it's so much fun to watch sci-fi TV without the Sci-Fi network's constant commercials. Final half of season 1 (there is only one season) was disappointing. 26 episodes in all. I was 12 in 1970, and all those short skirts are a schoolboy's dream.
