Irwin Allen was the most frugal producer in Hollywood. Note the reuse of the Jupiter 2 footage. I see he also managed to hire some unemployed Talosians, from Star Trek, at a good price too. Back in the 70s, whenever I heard the TV announcer say, "An Irwin Allen Production!", I knew we were in for a treat!

Had "25th Century" been picked up, I'm sure they would have "shot a "real" broadcast quality" pilot. This was likely a "presentation film" which, on a slim budget, was intended to sell investors on an actual pilot. Thus the "parts out of the bin" contents. "City Beneath the Sea" was initially offered in this manner. First a 1967 "presentation film" not intended for broadcast, then the "deliverable" telemovie aired on NBC in 1971. And released overseas to theaters.

Only a small budget "presentation film", so assembly from the parts bin" was acceptable. If the concept had pleased investors and the network, more resources would have been brought forth for a broadcast quality telefilm, maybe with more visuals and music unique to this effort (compare "City Beneath the Sea" test film 1967 with actual broadcast version pilot).

Irwin's go-to series in the wake of Land of the Giants were "these two": "25th Century" and "City Beneath the Sea". Yes, you're right overall. The 60s high camp and Action fantasy wave had crested. There really would be no place for this afterwards. Fizzle of The Invaders only made this more obvious. I'd like to believe that City Beneath the Sea might have had a slight chance if only on the drawing boards -- early 70s "weather" on prime time was blowing about with more conventional fare. But maybe "City" might have found a brief niche with water and tech, but would promoters find themselves in the same corner where Voyage Bottom Sea was when it needed bigger numbers?

I know they were all just cheaply made entertainments but still they could have made some effort. Its often possible to bend or have speculative science that still looks viable and keep a good story. In fact often they can improve it. Virtually all sci shows of the 1960s , 1970s where hopelessly wrong and in a way almost created a whole new category of 'anti-science' fiction.

This was a presentation film budgeted at only $100,000. It was necessary to use as many existing props and even artwork as possible. Had the response been better, a full pilot would likely have been commissioned, as was done with "Land Of The Giants" and "City Beneath The Sea". Unfortunately, 'City' didn't get picked up as a series.

Funny thing is, that's James Darren who later starred in Star Trek DS9 as the holographic crooner, Vic Fontaine. Small world isn't it?

That epoch in TV history had faded at this point. ABCs Movies of the Week coming in 1969 were a better showcase in which to try out an idea, rather than place all hopes on pilot ideas at this point.😮

Didn't the aliens say that they had no emotions? They sounded very emotional when they talked about destroying (killing) people.

The aliens never said they were without emotion. They merely regard Terrans were a immature species in comparison to themselves. Nevertheless, you're right the aliens' belief they are more advanced blind them to their own emotional weakness and arrogance.

Looks like they either found the Jupiter 2 (Lost in Space) or re purposed it. that space ship he took to earth looked vaguely like it. lol

Parts bin was raided for the making of a test film. If investors were impressed, a better equipped actual pilot would come forth.

This demo reel & Gene Roddenberry's "Assignment:Earth" episode from Star Trek share a very similar premise. Humans abducted from Earth by an alien civilization who are trained & conditioned by the aliens & returned to Earth with high tech devices. The key difference being that the alien here was trained for evil purposes, while Gary Seven on A:E was sent to assist earth.

theironclads "Assist" has different connotations. You can "help " someone into their grave. Gary 7 was sent to prevent a nuclear holocaust. It says nothing about why the aliens wanted the Earth population preserved It could have been "To Serve Man."

using music and sound from Lost in Space as well as footage of the Jupiter 2 crash landing...so cheap! Good to see the interior of the Jupiter 2 was refitted with Time Tunnel computers!! He did predict self-driving cars!!!
