IKR? In 1968, when I was in third grade, they showed me an artist's concept of "your future car from the year 2000!". It had TV guidance, a transparent roof, drove itself via radar, served mixed drinks to the passengers, and could fly. But honestly in 2024, I'd be plenty happy if only Gabrielle Drake were changing her skirt in the next room over.

It's an interesting recollection for a geezer like me because I got to watch this show first run. And anybody that was unfortunate enough to have been around then, would have wanted to take a look at this show. Entertainment then was a mere fraction of what it is now, 7 grainy channels, plus PBS (from your roof-top antenna) was all most of us had to watch. And even though the show was made for the BBC around 1970, and first shown in the USA in 1972, I didn't see "U.F.O." until 1977. And about a year later, came "Space 1999". Seeing their "world of the future" as imagined back then during the early 1970's, is a very different take then watching it 45 years later! (Oh the irony... during the UFO intro "the year" flashes: "1980!" lol)

My mom insisted she watch Masterpiece Theater on our tiny B&W TV set, which was on at the same time as UFO. I ran in the rain, got to the common room. The university students were not watching UFO and would not change it because some 5-year-old kid wanted to watch. I went without and ate cold, wet pizza by myself in the cafe.

There's a lot of great stuff in entertainment going all the way back to the late 19th century. The old carbon arc lights, the costumes, "The roar of the greasepaint, and the smell of the crowd!" (sic) "Barbershop" quartets and tight harmonies. Burlesque, Vaudeville ("A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants"). The earliest silent films. "Moving pictures" were brand new; nobody knew what they were doing, there was no "formula"; it was all experimental. Later, the classic comedies of film: Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Fatty Arbuckle, Harold Lloyd, W.C. Fields, the SIZZLING Mae West; Laurel & Hardy, Abbott and Costello, the 3 Stooges, the Marx Brothers, the Little Rascals, the Bowery Boys. The Epics, like "Lawrence of Arabia". The classic horror movies of the '30s; Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolf Man, the Mummy; early sci-fi, Buck Rogers; the classic gangster flicks, Jimmy Cagney, Edward G. Robinson. Westerns: Tom Mix and Hoot Gibson. It's almost limitless.And this is just from the 1890s to the 1930s. I didn't even TOUCH the '40s and beyond (although some of the stuff I mentioned did extend into the '40s, '50s, and even the '60s.) Someone like you might enjoy exploring.

18:10 I always love how fake computers in movies always have tape drives where both reels move in unison, like an audio tape. Except when "rewinding" (which is a high speed thing - you couldnt hardly tell which way they are turning) that is pretty much the only thing that computer tape drives do NOT do. Theres a capstan that drives the tape across the heads but it moves at a low(ish) speed and is fed by vacuum columns where air suction pulls the tape (on both sides) down and when they expose an electric eye at the top that reel does a quick burst movement until it covers up another eye at the bottom which makes it slam to a stop. The other side does the same thing but in reverse pulling the tape out, but there is no connection between the reels movements.

@natehill8069 I don't think that's correct. Any reel-to-reel mechanism will have the reels move at different speeds except for the exact instance you are at the center of the length of media. It's a matter if simple geometry. At every point where there is more media on the left, the outside band of material is larger than the outside circle on the right. One rotation on the left will be more than rotation on the right. So the smaller side has to go faster to keep up. Forward or rewinding doesn't even matter. This principal is how bicycle gears do what they do.

@@keninnewmexico8763 Nate is talking about *computer* reel-to-reel tapes, not audio ones. I've worked with equipment like that in computer centers, and what Nate describes about the vacuum columns and a capstan to move the tape rapidly across the read/write head is accurate. It's magnetic tape though; the "electric eye" thing that he describes is used to know where the end and beginning of a tape is so that the machine doesn't just run the tape off the reel. A reflective bit of tape is placed on one edge of the tape or the other, to signify the load point or end of tape. When the "eye" sees a reflection one one edge or the other, it knows it's at the start of where the data is going to be written or read, or at the end. The capstan moves the tape back and forth as needed across the read/write head much faster than the reels would be able to react. Thus the vacuum columns which give things time to move accordingly while allowing quicker access to the data on the tape.

i loved this show when it came out, bought the DVD set of it some 15+ yrs ago, and still love watching it. it was ahead of its time in a dozen ways, and while showing its age, its still an epically good, well directed, written, and acted show for the most part. i have 5 decades of sci fi under my belt, ive gotten to automatically start talking to the screen things like " wait, why have you not called for back up already ? youre a squadron of 3 craft, you never send 1 in alone".. or "ok, why did you fire one rocket and just go "OK, hit the target, they are still airborne".. what the ..?? lolol.. i mean, seriously, if you HIT your target, its SLOWING down, you go in for the kill shot.. not simply bank away, and call Control to say" Yup, hit it, its still flying though, good luck on the ground finding it:".. yea,, i never "thought" much when i watched it, i just enjoyed it was Sci Fi.. so... its still good, you just have to overlook, it wasnt a massive budget show when compared to todays epics, vast/constant use of miniatures, repetitive "cut scenes" to save money, but doing its best at the time.. the quality and attention to detail of the miniatures, was actually pretty damn good for the time.. just allow for the era when it comes to clothes and makeup.. personally, i thought they looked nicely futuristic.. loved the gals purple wigs and silver suits. they had genuine Foxes on that show, and many of them, in positions of authority.

So i take it you loved the show, and what's not to love really? You might already know this, but "UFO" and another sci-fi TV show called "Space: 1999" were produced in Britain, by the the team of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. This same "power couple" also created several other 1960's television shows, that made extensive use of scale models including "Captain Scarlet", "Thunderbirds" and "Sting ray". The fact "UFO" only got 26 shows before being cancelled is a shame! The show was just improving with every episode and it could have been even better, but just never got the chance...

A short list of why this is great: 1.) they refer to UFO’s as “yoofoes” 2.) beautiful women in various stages of undress or miniskirts all with matching purple hair working from a moon base. 3.) They have a moon base. 4.) Some of the coolest, oddest, silliest, and/or groovy vehicle, aircraft, ship, and sub designs in model form ever to be conceived and built. 4.) Hot chicks. 5.) guys with ridiculous hair cuts with simulated and/or real sideburns. 6.) the UFO. Basically an upside down spinning jello mold. 7.) the cheesy and/or overtly loud sound effects. 8.) the absolutely ridiculous psychological tests 9.) the pastel colored cordless phones 10.) the funky songs in the soundtrack. 11.) A Concord is the airliner of choice. 12.) the aliens.

there was an unexpected need to change studios in mid production - this caused a 6 month gap in filming so some performers were not available when production resumed in spring 1970 - Gabrielle and George Sewell disappear and Wanda Ventham and Delores Mantez are used to fill the gap - it is possible Gabrielle meant to move on anyway but that's the first I've heard she planned to go early - 🛸✨

@@FandersonUfo I also heard a disparaging note on George Sewell's further appearances on UFO was actually "let go" because either a senior producer or president of the studio didn't like the way he looked! In other words, George was fired because he wasn't (physically) attractive enough to be on this show. A show that was made up of rather attractive looking yet dramatically gifted actors. I found that to be a little dis-coloring and annoying. George Sewell was a very good actor and a great second-in-command next to Ed Bishop.

Saturday matinee stuff at it's finest, with kids crawling all over the theater. I watch intently now, as I did then, not focusing on the details and the campy melodrama, just taking-in the pure saturated 60's groove. The pastel tertiary color palette is so soothing... Gabrielle is magnetic in every scene.
