This series was just like Jules Verne... Way ahead of it's time. Although it can be somewhat campy at times, but considering man's igmorance of the deep oceans at the time period this was made. It still is quite a great show to watch.
If done with today's technology, the SP - FX would be done with mostly CGI which in opinion would be a big mistake. Most SP - FX Companies seem to have lost the use of REAL Structural, & Tangable MODEL'S that can actually become part of Movie or TV History, and displayed for all to see.. Can't display a CGI modle, which at most would be in my view... BORING to look at.
Neways. This was a show created by the great story teller Irwin Allen. Who I had the pleasure of growing up watching his imaginitive shows. Who I think follows the other greats; Steven J. Canell, & Arron Spelling, just to name afew that brougt us some of the best TV shows in TV viewing history. So give this show a Chance, & a View. When this was on the air... I couldn't wait till the next week to watch the new episode,
Cause in the mind of a child THIS WAS ENTERTAINMENT.
