I loved UFO, the Invaders, Space 1999 and the Time Tunnel. The only problem with rebooting great TV shows is that today’s imagination lacks creativity.

I never missed an episode of Time Tunnel when I was a kid! The music still gives me goosebumps! Thank you for bringing back the memory, sir!

The Starlost (1973), All That Glitters (1977), Quark (1977), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981), The Phoenix (1982), Alien Nation (1988), Red Dwarf (1988), Æon Flux (1991), Babylon 5 (1994). Here's some more sci-fi shows that need some love.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was my favorite show when I was a kid! It deserves an update.

Blake's Seven actually had a concluding episode unlike a lot of TV shows of the time. A very shocking one

[dannyayala]

I grew up being grateful for PBS showing us BBC programming that broaden my horizons long before internet

[kurtwise]

I'm 65 and remember most of those! You forgot Voyage to the bottom of the sea tho

[magistrumartium]

Watched "The Time Tunnel" in 1966, when I was a kid. Grew up to be a history teacher.
I haven't thought about that show in so long. It was a Friday night favorite. Thanks for this video!

1 season = 30 episodes. We need that concept to be brought back too.

[nufosmatic]

Space 1999: there is a whole underground Eagle Transporter fanbase...

[carloslx]

Love it when you say a show lasted only one season while having 30 episodes. That's at least 3 seasons by today's standards, and with most episodes being utter filler garbage!

[TifSC]

I remember Blakes Seven. Used to watch it with my mum, we loved it.
One show i recall was Sapphire and Steel. Wish that would get a reboot.

[josephharvat]

I'd like to think that a reboot of Time Tunnel might work but look at what happened to Timeless, a really terrific time-travel series from 2016-2018. It had an extremely loyal audience (me included) but, for some reason, NBC was bound and determined to kill the show. I think network execs still have trouble figuring out sci-fi shows.

[hazmat]

Blakes 7 was a great series especially the first two seasons. I think the Liberator was the most aesthetically stunning ship of all time.

[oldgoat]

This is almost like a dream! Each of these series were among my personal favorites growing up. This is great stuff! Much appreciated.

[wtk]

Personally, I'd say those shows were all good enough that they should be protected from modern remakes damaging their legacies. Look at how all the never-ending sci-fi franchises are basically dead now in terms of quality and creativity.

[RCAvhstape]

I definitely remember watching Space:1999 and UFO with my dad growing up, and had the Space:1999 Eagle toy spaceship, which was epic. I recently binged UFO and found it to be very good, the story is quite dark at times and the main characters suffer quite a bit trying to protect Earth's people from the extraterrestrial threat.

[kcuhc]

My suggestion is Firefly. There was a huge amount of back story left on the table before it was cancelled.

[thewriterstuff]

I have fond memories of watching The Invaders and The Time Tunnel. Would live to see Space Above and Beyond again.

I grew up in New Zealand so I saw the Brit shows from (usually) a year after they began in the UK. UFO was my fave but was just on in '70 & '71. If revived must keep silver miniskirts with purple wigs. The underwater guys wore most revealing string vests for some reason. It really was like a real life version of Thunderbirds.
