(So many reasons why some of us UFO! fans ignore that Space 1999 ever happened.)
Birch-o-matic@n1vux @DoomsdaysCW I rewatched a couple of UFO episodes recently. Mega schlock. Hasn’t aged very well, but whatever.

Right, UFO didn't age well 4 decades+ now, much social commentary can be made in retrospect (e.g. hot sexy female officers in the command chain and forward deployed was alas still progressive then, only a few years after Lt Uhura, but make the uniforms even hotter);
but Space 1999 didn't age well 2 weeks, or even 2 commercial breaks, if you took physics and didn't take drugs while watching.
Serious refrigerator logic fail.

Their purple wigs may* have been trend setters ...
i've seen lots of hair colors not found in nature in music&scifi circles
since about 1999 iirc, so right on time?
[ that time when a hotel tub looked like a crimescene (lovely red washout-dye didn't) ]
* I'd guess Manga had primary-color hair first, but perhaps UFO had it in anglosphere mainstream first?
