On the 4th of September 1975, one of the most ambitious and expensive Science Fiction genre TV series of the 1970s debuted. Space:1999 was a British production but with US leads hoping to attract an American network. The networks passed, and 1999 came to our screens via first-run syndication. The show was the creation of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, who morphed a second-season concept of their amazing UFO series into its own thing. The enduring popularity of Star Trek in syndication was a big motivator. Topics Discussed Gerry Anderson, Sylvia Anderson, Space:1999, Moonbase Alpha, Eagle One, Eagles, Mattel, Vertibird, Martin Landau, Mego, Palitoy, Playsets, Mattel Eagle, Captain Zantor, LJN, roadstars, Colorforms, Dinky, Dinky Eagle transporter, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Amsco, Dragon’s Domain, Commlocks, AHI, Rack Toys, Remco, Stun Gun, Toyventures, Plaidstallions, MegoMuseum, Brick Mantooth,
