muddthe1st 0 Posted July 8, 2003 When I was growing up In the 60's I enjoyed shows like "Land of the Giants", "Lost In Space", "Twilight Zone", "Time Tunnel" and of course "Star Trek". Shows that were more about entertainment than being 100% accurate. Today it seemes that every Sci-Fi or other type of show on TV has to be as 100% accurate as possible in science, medical examination, law, crime, ETC. or it isn't considered "Believable" or "Possible". Were we less sophisticated in the "Olden Days"? No I think not! I say bring back the large pulsating brained aliens. let Archer and T'pol hunt for large white rabbits or deal with Q for a change. I want less "reality" and more fun in my fiction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted July 8, 2003 Well, I like to see a good ballance between realism and pure fiction. I think Star Trek and Stargate handle this quite nicely. I dunno, my personal taste is the show has to be believable for me to enjoy it. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt a show like that would even make it on the air today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the general public is more aware and familiar with various technologies. So, in that sense, today's audience is more sophistocated . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bevfanK 0 Posted July 8, 2003 I think we need to find a balance of real and non-real shows. Sometimes people need an escape from reality not more of it. I would much rather watch TNG than the news.. But thats just me... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
