What?
Ah, common...
Someone must have fond memories of that series...
If I had a little EXTRA coin, I'd buy it to watch with my son, he's six, and he'd love it.
It wasn't that bad...was it?
I liked it...

LOL! Ok, I'll out myself. Definitely not an "A" or even "B" grade series, but perhaps a solid "C+", with an interesting premise, characters with potential, and generally competent acting. It just lost its way, and meandered away from the Geek Path.
Good point about it having great potential for family viewing. If they'd just had the guts to stick with that goal, instead of dumping the educational aspects, it'd have been far better.
One lasting impact on my life:
the "dolphin tubes" are the sole inspiration for my goal of having "chipmunk tubes" throughout my (eventual) self-designed fantasy Geek Studio home.

It's still on TV up here. Looks really dated, but I enjoyed it in first-run.
I still have the model kit. I'm quite proud of it: my first real application of dry-washes (only real way to get the underwater mottled-light effect).
It's a model-building thing.

A little googling helped me to remember that that first season WAS pretty good (2nd and 'almost 3rd' sank fast).
I will get it for me and my son, just have to sell more comic books is all...

I wont lie, when it was on when I was a kid, I loved it. Had a huge crush on Stacy Haiduk, I think thats her. I mean who doesnt love the idea of a talking dolphin, and what not. And my most fondess memory of the series, Ted Raimi, always cracked me up!
But then the show went south. Wasn't there a bunch of controversy aswell over its demise? I can't remeber I was 11 when it first started airing.

Quote:It was too slow and thoughtful so the network made 'em jazz it up with aliens and action, then a new meaner captain and such. When it was cancelled it was too far gone to fix...

But the first season was a good, self-contained ride.

I guess I'm with everyone else: The first season was O.K. when it was "Star Trek Underwater" but I lost interest when I couldn't figure out what a race capable of interstellar travel needed with an Earth submarine.

Thats right, I think I stopped watching it after season 2. Im sure there was something about Roy Schnider not wanting to come back or something.
Oh well who knows.
They keep reairing it on the Space channel up here in Canada, and it still has its momments!

Roy watched as the second season turned to (a slightly more serious version of) Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, ie, crap, and jumped ship. Michael Ironside replaced him, and did what he could during the beginning of the third, but by that time a comeback just wasn't in the cards.
You can't drown you fool, you're immortal Chrisisall
