Captain Apollo Turns 70 Today
- Thread starter The Duke
- Start date
Loved that old series. Had quite the trio of hotties as well-Jane Seymour(played Apollo's wife I believe in the first episode before being killed), and the chicks who played Athena and Casiopia we're pretty hot by late 70's standards, for sure.
I remember being all geared up to watch the premiere of BSG (they had been promoting it for weeks) and right in the middle of the show, ABC flips to Camp David, where the Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt was being signed by Sadat and Begin. The historic significance of what was happening was not lost on me, but I still couldn't help but be PO'd that they had to do it right at that time.
Wilma Deering was my first crush lol. I remember watching this show as a kid, I loved the show really since it came out about a year or two after Star Wars and was kind of a weekly fix for the space freak side of me back then. My dad didn't really care for the space moves and shows, but he did watch Buck Rogers with me for some strange reason....haha...
I think they had to sew her into the spandex she wore on those shows. The ratings went up when they ditched the white outfit and she started wearing the blue and form fitted garments.
I guess I didn't know Grace Lee Whitney had died. Damn. Pretty soon there will be no WW2 vets and no remaining characters from many of the old shows I watched growing up.
If I could time travel, I would love to go back to the early 80s for a week.
