\"\"<\/span><\/a>If you’re Canadian and grew up in the seventies, chances are Canadian content laws had you watch at least one episode of <\/span>The Starlost<\/span><\/a> before. the series was supposed to be Canada’s answer to Star Trek but thanks to some US backing falling through, ended up looking like a poor cousin to Doctor Who.<\/span>
<\/span>
Starlost follows the adventures of three young people who grew up on an Amish farm only to discover they are really on a floating space ark, whose crew has been wiped out by a “Radiation Virus” (science boo-boos like this caused creator Harlan Ellison to disown the whole show) and they must explore the other communities in the ark hoping to find someone that can steer tham away from a collision course with a sun.<\/span>
<\/span>
All in all, the actual premise of the series is very good, it’s also well acted, it’s just the execution that suffers a little. The series is shot on video and much of the effects are chroma key based, the writers also seemed to have pacing problems, the exciting music breaks in at times seeming almost as if it’s being ironic. With the Canadian series available, one wonders if CTV’s “The Trouble with Tracy<\/span><\/a>” (worst sitcom ever to many) may see DVD release.<\/span>
<\/span>
Also available are the second season of Adam 12<\/span><\/a> and the complete series of George Peppard in Banacek<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
