A very happy 90th birthday to Gary Conway — actor, writer, artist, and so much more. He’s the very definition of a Renaissance man.

On top of his many talents and accomplishments, for my generation Mr Conway will always have a special place in our hearts as Captain Steve Burton, leader of the diminutive Earth people trapped in the Land of the Giants.

All the very best, sir.

Vintage advertisement for The Time Tunnel, featuring James Darren in the natty white jumpsuit he wore in the pilot, posing beside AN/FSQ-7 computer control panels. Those AN/FSQ-7 panels cropped up in many a sci-fi series and movie, but for me they’ll always be the heart of Project Tic-Toc.

New to me DVDs this week.
Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,
This Island Earth, and the 1960s Complete Series Lost in Space

Now I just need some time to watch these.

I used to love this show, and the other two shared productions.

As an 8-9 year old, they were more fun than the much more serious in tone, Star Trek, which I also enjoyed.

When the douchebros complain about effects in tv and movies now, I roll my eyes over their ignorance and wish for the bros to disappear.

I must confess that I was never much of a fan of Lost in Space, however, happy birthday to June Lockhart as she turns 100 today.

Here's to you, Mrs Robinson.

June 12, 1983: On this day in the distant future/past, sub-orbital passenger flight 612, en route from Los Angeles to London, ran into some very big trouble...

Remembering James Darren, my childhood hero from The Time Tunnel, on what would have been his 89th birthday.
