Science Fiction Tv Shows And Movies That have Not Aged well

knight Rider when it came out in 1984, it looked cutting edge , 30 years later it looks quaint.

The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman In it's day seeing Steve Austin and Jamie Somers run in slow motion to simulate speed was appropriate for the 70's . Today It looks dated and silly .

Just about evry series done by Irwin Allen but they are still fun to watch.

The Twilight Zone Though the story telling is timeless, the special effects and props are not.

Star Trek The Next Generation, we've pretty surpassed some the things they have, like data pads for example.

We're still working on warp drive though.

Space 1999 even when new was poorer than his puppet shows!

But I think most UK TV is poorer than UK 60s, 70s & 80s programs.
Soaps, reality TV, imported Daytime TV junk, dominance now of US programs.

The acting in Space 1999 and UFO was a bit wooden.

Some of the effects on Babylon 5 haven't aged well.

Anyone tried to watch IT recently? That has not aged well at all! Poor IT, looks more comedy than horror now

Blakes-7 was 'BBC effects' from the get-go, so always ropey, but it was the characterisation which lifted it above the mire of wobbly sets and that damn quarry.

Star Cops hasn't aged too badly, in my opinion (but then again I fancied the Australian girl something rotten)

The Giant Spider looks even more cheesy.

I have recently been watching this on YouTube, my daughter, aged 11, loves it. Ok the effects are a little ropey but the stories really have her hooked, she watched series one episodes 1 to 8 in one sitting.

"Voyage To See What's On The Bottom", as the Mad magazine parody called it.

I remember my excitement at a preview of what was finally going to be a real modern science fiction adventure show on TV - turned out to be "Lost in Space".

Some early episodes of the X-Files seem a bit dated. Some don't.

It sounds like it stuck in development limbo.

They showed that steaming pile of on tv in the US back in the 1970's.

Originaal battestar galactica

Wasn't great then

babylon 5

Still one of the best SF TV Series, that actually managed to be mostly SF.
