Title: Info on upcoming podcast #158
Post by: Rico on January 16, 2008, 06:35:06 AM
Just to let everyone know, this coming weekend's podcast (for 1/20) is going to cover some of Gene Roddenberry's other SF TV work (non-Trek).  TV movies like:  Genesis II, Planet Earth, The Questor Tapes, etc.  If any knows these movies and would like to send in some audio comments for the show please do so by the end of Saturday so I can put them in the podcast.  I think it will be a fun show.  Don't forget, you can always take the easy route and call your comment in to the voicemail line at:   206-666-6127.

It's likely that most members have never seen the shows you list Rico. I hardly even remember them myself and they are not widely available either.

As for Earth Final Conflict and even Andromeda those shows were built off of sparse material to make money off the Roddenberry legacy IMHO. Now whether Roddenberry would have like what he did with his creations only heaven knows. I kind of doubt he would though.

That's exactly why I am going to cover them KTrek.  Because they are not widely known.  That's one of my goals with the podcast.  To try and bring some things that might not be as well known to the listeners.  I don't do that every week, but I like to from time to time.

Mr. Roddenberry had such a colorful life. I wouldn't be to quick to dismiss his other works.
I look forward to learning what else "The Great Bird of the Galaxy" has done.
I've heard The Questor Tapes was an early exploration of life as an android (probably from Treks in SCI-FI). ;)
