I've never seen Space: 1999, but that was still funny :)

I want some happy pills!

Watch Space:1999 it make you happy, totally off its box.
I was brought up on it, which explains a few things.
Very hard for me to watch it now, but I still like it..

For an extra point what links Space:1999 and The Buffy series?

Like UFO Gerry Anderson made it partly for the Amercan market (IIRC)
UFO was a great concept, I though why not someone make a game of it..
Well I guess Xcom did.

I know its cheesey, unplausible and bonkers but I love them!

Is Space: 1999 the one where the moon gets blasted away from earth orbit by a vast nuclear explosion?

Bingo thats the one: One of Gerry Anderson's. One of our home grown, completely implausible classics.

Brian Blessed guest appeared twice!
