So? You were drawing from a smaller pool of films (as the medium was younger and less prolific) during a time when there were far fewer options in terms of media.
By the time I was a teen, I had nearly 2 more decades worth of stuff to catch up on than you, right as the industry was kicking into high gear and making more films, AND as TV drama was hitting it's golden age, AND other technologies were competing for time.
Times change my friend, and with them, context.
LOL, if I had had even VHS rental as an assist, I could have cleaved through those 40 years of fantastical footage in HALF the time!
Times change, my friend, and with them, availability.

Hold on there bub. Just because it was a bad show doesn't take away from the fact that I had a huge crush on Heather at the time.
Let's leave Heather out of this shall we?
Making audio tapes of Star Trek Eps makes you tops in my book fella.

Some peeps counted sheep to drift off- I listened to Trek.
But never drifted off until the end credit music.

Say Oppyh, is that Keri Russell?

Is she from the Blue or Red verse. Well, you know what they say - everyone has a twin walking around this crazy old world.
BTW I remember both the movie and the show. No self-respecting sci-fi geek would pass up the chance to see some truly bad sci-fi (actually I think there's a law compelling us to).

It's not uncanny, but it's an awfully close likeness. Bad sci-fi cheers me up on a rainy day.
Wait a sec, I like rainy days.

Yeah, we had it rough back in prehistoric times (as my niece likes to remind me), we walked 50 miles to school, barefoot! We had to crank both the cars and telephones (just after we stopped using smoke signals). Kids today have it easy - instant everything at their fingertips.
As an aside, I recently watched an old movie that I saw years ago on the Late Show (usually Friday or Saturday night) - Room for One More with Cary Grant, who I thought was so cool back then (mid-sixties). Man is that movie dated. It's funny how you remember things as a kid, then as an adult you think - man is this cheesy.
Although sometimes I get nostalgic for some good old fashion movies (the classics are so because they ARE timeless), I still prefer today's lightspeed living. Internet, dvds, cell phones. But the one thing that remains constant with movies is - you still need a good story.
"What makes a muskrat guard his musk - COURAGE!
What makes a hotentot, so hot. What put the ape in ape-ricot. What have they got, that I ain't got - COURAGE!"
-Both Epic and Classic

I figured as much, your a 70s TV geek and you like Firefly. Rainy days and bad sci-fi; like Mal and Inara - they just go together.
My favs as a kid Flash Gordon and Commando Cody; it doesn't get any better/badder than that.
