Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea S3E18 THE FOSSIL MEN - Remastered Restored HDTV Episode!

Whatever happens, "I'll be right down".

[@bloodgrss]

Indeed-I am sure there were many outtakes of such...

[@strongheart8]

It’s called “acting” and it used to be more important that the special effects because audiences used to have something called “imagination.”

[@bloodgrss]

Let's not get carried away, strong baby. My Dad back in that day used the same argument of 'imagination' as why old-time radio was superior to TV. Acting? Nope, it's called suspension of disbelief, and CGI has made that much easier in recent days. I don't disagree with this digital world being a challenge to individual imaginations, but even green screens task the acting skills of modern actors as much as Irwin Allen's silly creatures did...@@strongheart8

​@@davidwesley2525Alas, Irwin would have spent a mint on the series if he HAD the money. The Cash was allotted by the Sponsors, the Network, the Investors and the Studio. Irwin himself didn't have the bank account to put this on. He could only "direct".

Appreciate your analysis here. It's been easy for Irwin's critics to dismiss the shows entirely, but fans should Appreciate the technical skill in putting these shows on. The "creatures" are often underappreciated but as I often offer, WHO did this costuming better? I doubt the critics could even now.

[@christinanegrete5417]

I, too, wondered how these actors could keep a straight face with the silly monsters in later seasons of VTTBOTS! But Richard Basehart was a professional and a superb actor, and all the others were also quite good in their roles. Kind of a life lesson - Do your best regardless of some of the crappy "scripts" life may send your way. Thanks, again as I make my way through watching...This show was my favorite as a kid, and I am enjoying the episodes again. As for some of the criticism, I concur...but honestly it was a pioneer sci-fi show from 60 years ago. Needed more variety that last season, I agree. I guess 60 years from now, there may be laughing about current movies and TV. I put it in perspective. Thanks, Tooleman. Very enjoyable.

You're absolutely right about the walls. I've noticed sometimes when a monster throws a crewman against one of the corridor walls or there's a fight among the crewmen when they also hit a wall, the walls easily move as if the walls are made of plywood or something similar. Since you mentioned the steel hatch doors, I strongly believe they were made out of wood because in one episode I noticed the wood grain on it. It was a hatch door going into the laboratory.

Yes, I nerd out a lot on that, trying to figure out just how "big" it could be in "reality". I'm suspecting that the packagers didn't give this matter much consistent thought, leaving it to the fans. A marine engineer once said that a submarine could be of any size called for, but that construction facilities presently are equipped only to build a 700 foot craft possibly.

The Storms and Sparks and Tumult were special order fast food from the Powers that Be. The show was high cost at the outset and for year 3 it was ordained due to budget cuts to be a high action, ear pounding roller coaster ride for the early Sunday night kids' dinner hour audience. Trick was to rouse Junior away from Lassie and Disney. Yes, upon conclusion of the series I'd like to have Seaview hauled into drydock and thoroughly examined.

[@moviesgalore9947]

Irwin Allen realized in season 2 that having a new monster or strange creature in almost every episode was the key to ratings success the show did every possible monster it was inventive and fun.

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

They had to exchange "Tom Clancy" for that incredible Zoo they came up with. Great menagerie of creatures.

[@MrPeterbs]

Actually it didn't really impact ratings that much since it was always up against Disney on NBC in the exact same time slot. It always came in second or third place. As Terry Becker said years later, it was amazing the show lasted four seasons. In fact there was talk of a fifth season before Irwin went ahead with 'Land Of The Giants'.

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

I'm still studying this situation, but apparently the first season approach wasn't as buoyant during season 2. According to all the available reports, the audience wanted it all Under Water and with ...something "Fishy" every week, apparently. According to author Marc Cushman, there was HEAVY pressure to save money and bring on the beasts to scare up an audience. Even before the shift to Sunday, ABC is reputed to have requested a more free wheeling format, to keep the show, in their view, "more competitive". I'm torn -- I like both variants...

[@MrPeterbs]

@@AdmiralNelson1000 Well either way, the show never won the time slot on Sundays at 7 pm. I thought the 2nd Season was the best and liked how they briefly tried to cash in on the 'Man From UNCLE' craze.

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

@@MrPeterbs Greetings and thank you for weighing in on the Seaview s peccadilllos. Indeed Irwin and ABC had initially expected Voyage to be a commanding hit, but it's success is based on simply surviving the seasons (true of most of our fantasy favorites). You likely know all this -- season 1 Monday 730, in command through Jan.65. NBC shifts another freshman, UNCLE Man, to the 8PM slot midseason where it chips away at Voyage's lead. This prompted move for year 2 to Sunday 7pm. According to Voyage fan studies, the move slogged --CBS s Lassie, My Favorite Martian, NBCs Disney had the initial commanding lead. Voyage, according to the lore, rallied only when "surface intrigue stories" were retired (the ones you noted). I really liked those. Obviously UNCLE is credited with inspiring them, but just MO (and I DO love UNCLE warts and all) the Voyage "intrigue tales" were better crafted, tighter stories. What Voyage in many ways was "all about"...superpower rivalry post WW2...Anyway, more underwater Voyage = improved numbers and interestingly My Favorite Martian was dropped by CBS. Season 3 supposedly opened to BIG numbers as the "monster rally" and that hyperactive pace bagged audiences. CBSs replacement for Martian, It's About Time, didn't scare up viewers and its said that the Disney hour was experiencing initial fall doldrums with Walt's absence as host. But it is said too that by early 67 when the next season schedule was being considered, that VBS was "on the bubble". According to a 3 part article in UK's Infinity magazine, VBS Squeaked by with a renewal because sponsors were satisfied and the network was pleased with the "demographics". If you haven't seen them, I'd recommend the books by Marc Cushman covering Voyage, Lost In Space and Star Trek OS. They're pricey so I only have the Voyages. Cushman has come under criticism for coming up with numbers suggesting that ST OS was "really a BIG hit"; vintage press reports say otherwise. Still, his Voyage books tell of the astounding stories of Voyage's Battles of the Budget, and how these affected the course the show took, offer ratings which appear to be accurate, etc. Season 4 reports are a mixed bag, suggesting that the effort was getting waterlogged BUT still had a lot of energy and potential left to it. (Never stated anywhere but Voyage's slow start out the gate in fall 67 was, my "educated guess", due to the considerable popularity of CBS s new Gentle Ben.)

Richards (Jerry Catron) also had a slightly recurring role on Star Trek The Original Series as Security Officer Montgomery. In the season 2 episode "The Doomsday Machine", he played the guard who fought Commodore Decker on the way to escorting him to his quarters. Decker, as you know, knocked him unconscious and stole a shuttlecraft. He played the same character in the season 2 episode "Journey to Babel".

[@hg27]

He also appeared in one of the Joker episodes on Batman in the the second season of the series as one of Joker's goons. And also in one of the Julie Newmar Catwoman episodes as one of her goons as well. I just don't recall the title of the episodes at moment.

[@johcafra]

In direction, camerawork, editing, stunts and even music that fight scene between Catron and William Windom (Decker) is surpassingly well done. No doubles as far as I can tell, and though the actors doubtless had to pull their punches they looked like they enjoyed hauling off at each other in character.

I bought what was advertised as the complete DVD set of this show several yers ago,, but I'm seeing episodes here that I have not seen before. I loved this show when it was featured on T.V. Saturday afternoons. I had to work hard to get it the picture to come in clear by cranking up the tower which made the show even more exciting. I loved the cast. Richard Basehart had the best voice, he made the show believable. Apparently Erwin Allen insisted on having an authentic looking set which helped to make this show a success. That new diver featured on this episode, Richards, is a hunk. I googled him for more info. His name is Jerry Catron, and along with most of the original cast, is no longer with us.

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

You'll likely find Jerry Catron doing "extra" work on Star Trek Original. He's also the "Buccaneer" in another year 3 Voyage, "Night of Terror". If recall serves, he may also have a brief role as a Crewman guarding a radioactive cargo from a "possessed" Admiral Nelson in year 4s "Terror".

[@anthonylowder6687]

It’s interesting that the music score when the Admiral and the chief see the rock creatures for the first time is the same as the score for the robot Gort in The Day The Eath Sttod Still.

[@albertrandall2271]

It is also interesting, the music score before they see the rock creature, it's from the 1959 movie journey to the center of the earth, with James Mason and Pat Boone. Both music scores are from the late great Bernard Herman, I am not sure if I spelled his last name right, but I think you know who I am talking about, good old Bernard he scored a lot of movies and TV shows.

SeaQuest often seen by many as a Voyage "return," whereas some SeaQuest packagers claimed at first that they were "improving" on yesterday's SF.

Just use the laser beam against any thing out in front of the Seaview. Once there was a giant seaweed monster and they blasted the thing with the laser and sent it to Davey Jone's Locker!!

Note to shipyard less flammable material in construction

The Arsonists were the show's bean counters. Note minimal sparking in the first two seasons. Season 3 is out to bag the kids in earnest. Thus the Pounding and the Sparking and the Flames.

When you beat up the doctor...its a bad day.😏

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

This season the Doc gets his share of walloping.

I don't remember seeing one!

It had to be hard to keep a straight face for these actors as goofy as this show was.

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

A long held observation. The one most likely to venture a snicker is Richard Basehart, if you look closely. David Hedison was known for a snappy sense of humor, but on camera he really covered it up.

I still think this show had a lot to do with the making of Sea Quest DSV

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

There was talk about the use of Voyage and Lost In Space in providing foundational material for two 90s shows, SeaQuest and Earth Two. Some of the production staff on both shows acknowledged this, while others were disdainful of 60s shows and claimed that the 9os projects were improvements. What humbled the Universal/Amblin crews was the same problem afflicting 60s SF shows -- tight money, audience ratings, and not fully understanding what the MASS Audience wants to support...

Where do you think Roddenberry got some of his ideas. ? 😮😮😮

[@GarethWilliams-m6t]

As kids we used to guess how many times the men would go side to side when the sub was in trouble 😊

I think there's a person in a rock man suit surely.
