I'm 69 and it has been a long time since I have seen this show and what a treat! It's like no years have gone by except that in those years you didnt get all the verbal garbage and scenes that we get these days.

[@timetraveler2518]

I agree! I am 65, and I feel the same way you think. 👍😃👍

[@techisgod]

Im 62. Im catching up to you. LOL. I remember most of the old TV programs and running home from school to wacth them. In my school days our teachers were very violent. How was your school years?

[@jenniferscott4900]

I loved this show when I was a kid and now I got my kids watching this as well 😊

[@user-zi5pn5fg6y]

Watching these old flicks make me feel warm & fuzzy all over 😊😅😊

[@GoldAndSilver988]

Seaweed creature picks up little toy Crane, lol.

[@barackmycat9448]

The Admiral can pack quite a punch for an old geezer.

[@zzzbbbooo]

One chop to the shoulder renders everyone instantly unconscious of course. Love this show to bits though, very grateful to TooleMan TV!

[@wpschiappa]

Should have had that punch when he fought Anthony Quinn in La Strada !!!

[@lesleyhughes4969]

[@keithkidd3303]

More punch as "Werewolf"!

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

​@@wpschiappaThanks for pointing out that movie. I'm going to watch it since it's available on YT.

[@jackpayne5101]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but Richard Basehart sometimes slips into English pronounciation as to an American English I suppose because he did a lot of theatre so he did slip up sometimes, I love listening out for them, God Bless him ☺

[@rar321blue]

50 minutes of pure nonesence..and total joy!! Great upload too.

[@TooleManTV]

@rar321blue Yes, it's non-stop action and a plate of spaghetti on your head!

[@TigerWing141]

@@TooleManTVit will get you more subs if you in the progress of doing my idea

[@Brian-yt8fu]

ex Navy here I like it we had a 3 Star Admiral on our ship but I seldom saw him.

[@You-are-right-but]

​@@TooleManTVElectro-Spaghetti. The best kind of Spaghetti! 😊

[@carolynpurser7469]

Yes! Pure nonsensical joy!😊

[@jackpayne5101]

Great stuff! I remember when I first saw this I was quite scared of that shaggy thing, it is still great to see these though it takes me straight back to my childhood, happy days.😊

[@scottmclachlan2717]

It reminded me of Sigmund's dad.

[@DonaldWells-wk8dc]

The orchestra was 'spot on'🫠

[@user-li6sj8op3d]

it's amazing how many times the Sea View can crash dive in the exact same location, against the same formation of rocks, at the same time of day?

[@lazyhazeldaisy9596]

And the Flying Sub, it hits the same old rock every time!😅

[@zzzbbbooo]

@@lazyhazeldaisy9596 Funny though, we never noticed these things back then. We have been taught to be sceptical about everything now, I guess. The viewing quality is better too.

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

The expense of under water photography for this show allows for stock footage.

[@chrismayer3919]

The monsters may be hokey/ cheesy, but the writing and acting make up for it! 😌

[@lesleyhughes4969]

Acting was brilliant

[@bobjg1956]

one of my favs....brilliant...and a proper monster...and that screeeeech....( shudder)...thanks for this upload...

[@TooleManTV]

Glad you enjoyed it Subscribe to my channel for notifications about upcoming episodes.

[@Marcstang04]

This must be one of the few episodes where the Doc(Richard Bull) had a decent part.

[@Titan52berg]

Lyle Bettger always portrayed a villain in some of the Westerns from the '50's and '60's! Good actor in whatever role he plays!

[@thuggeetennessee7981]

Yeah, he was a really dependable actor. Great in the old westerns.

[@charlieross-BRM]

I must have been high when I was a preteen. I've watched 4 episodes on YT this month and the weirdness is off the charts. 😅 If someone had asked me a year ago what I recall of the show it would be "adventures in a big submarine, duh."

[@Makeyourselfbig]

Pattison should have got a medal,

[@sfel10]

Yeah a metal wrench, bopped Crane on the head. The actor died at age 42

[@user-zj7dz5lh9p]

Fantastic, well done, and thank you for taking the time to do this.

[@cressi777]

There is nothing to watch now is all a waste these uploads are saving the day i really enjoy them and the quality is amazing Thanks.

[@PeterCox-mm6kh]

Love this episode, magnificent seaweed creature. Thanks again for the beautiful HD upload.

[@lcashless1839]

Love this show. Built all the models back in the day.

[@jamesreding6336]

I was too lazy to my friend put my flying sub together

[@theloniousMac]

Creature at the beginning: YAY! I’ve got the full set now! Yellow, blue, and red! Now I just need the Flying Sub!

[@jamesreding6336]

I had one when I was a kid but as usual mom probably got rid of it like my baseball cards

[@karlbark]

Been watching these shows, -thanks for the uploads 🙂 But I must mention that the brig 26:20 is possibly the worst "holding cell" of all time ! (You'll know what I mean when you see it) 😁

[@TooleManTV]

@karlbark You're welcome. And you're right - poor Kowalski wasn't well advised about the danger of standing too close!

[@carlacrawford9349]

Why can't you guys just watch and enjoy instead of pointing out the mistakes. It takes all the fun out of it.😮 7:13

[@lancerevell5979]

Agreed. Gotta exercise what's called "willful suspension of disbelief"! 😎👍

[@richardhamblen5526]

I commented on that very issue earlier..it's 60's TV, lol..enjoy it and quit nitpicking....:)

[@user-zj7dz5lh9p]

Are we paying for this? No, then shut the fup.

[@paulozimek276]

Totally agree 💯 .

[@thegarz1963]

Thanks so much for uploading these in HD. My wife and I are really enjoying your work! Keep it up please !!

[@TooleManTV]

Glad you like them!

[@EdRedekop]

What I find truly amazing is how they can blow up all the subs circuitry and still have all the circuitry repaired/replaced and have the sub up and running in a matter of minutes. Only in the movies.

[@michaelscott1658]

Oh, SeaView had plenty of plug & play nuclear circuitry on standby for just such unavoidable circumstances... The one thing that always made zero sense & drove me crazy on this program is whenever the SeaView would encounter any type of turbulence that would make the ship toss to & fro & sparks would fly around the deck resulting in small fires - all the crew members would stagger back & forth across the floor as the sub rocked back & forth. Why didn't anyone ever HANG ON TO SOMETHING so they wouldn't be tossed about like ragdolls? I mean I sure as hell would be grabbing the nearest available nailed down ANYTHING to hold on to rather than flying back & forth across the floor every time wouldn't you? DUHHH....

[@TigerWing141]

Shockwave, “Are you in the progress of my idea?”

[@DonaldWells-wk8dc]

Nice being a seaweed Monster great second job in retirement.

[@hankreager6689]

It also moonlights as a rag mop.

Great episode for the Halloween season thank you very much

[@starclone4]

Loved it !!!!

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

At the 3:46 mark, love the explosions heard during the rock n roll.

DDT / Agent Orange - works every time.

[@DISCOVEGASGUY]

Classic!

[@franklinomarachu4602]

Very good

[@rogerturner1881]

David Hedison was a stud.

[@taroman7100]

It's a shame that Irwin Allen took the series into the monster of the week direction. Though a few good ones popped up once in awhile after it went to color the best Voyages were the black & white. The scripts were in line with the time of early scientific exploration and the age of espionage. Even David Hedison in some of his interviews agrees the best writers were the early years.

[@richroggio]

everything is wonderful. I wish you would include the closing credits and music.

And where are those forward torpedo tubes? In the Flying Sub?

Thanks ! not one of the better episodes !....cheers.

The icon for watching this episode looked like a spaghetti head.

[@sfel10]

Tooleman how do you do it? If Irwin Allen was still with us, he would probably stroke out after watching one of your HD presentations, I see MeTV now offers HD. Are your uploads higher definition than Me? I got lost in Chief Sharkey's green shirt a few weeks ago. Also saw him walk up the stairs, and in the next scene he is just standing in a corner. You make KZbin premium worth the $129 or $139

[@TooleManTV]

@sfel10 - Thanks for the kudos. It's a labor of love. I'm lucky to live in an area with MeTV on an HDTV channel. My process is handled in my secret laboratory and is based on months of research, just like Admiral Nelson would do. Stay tuned, more Voyages are on the way! And subscribe so you know when they're released.

[@ANGELAGSTEINER]

Hello. Could be possible you upload this episode again? There’s a lot of missing parts.😢

[@charlesmento5968]

so are these from ME TV? They cut the episodes. Did you add the material back in?

[@TooleManTV]

Yes. No. Enjoy the HD quality.

[@hg27]

😁👍

[@chrisphilhower6029]

Is there an episode where Capt Crane isn't sweating all over his face?

[@michaelscott1658]

I'm still trying to figure out why when he starred in the movie "The Fly" he was AL Hedison but on this program he is David Hedison... identity crisis or agent deciding the name change would be a wise move for potential future roles? Anyone know what was behind this actors odd mid-career name change?

[@richroggio]

where is the closing music???

[@michaelscott1658]

I was wondering the same thing exactly...

Star Trek episode story line

[@rushmore3927]

This show does not pass the nostalgia itch for me. The acting is awful, the writing is stupid, makeup hilarious, and even the editing sucks. One of the few for me that is so collectively awful, it’s so bad it’s bad. BTW, they didn’t even make an effort with cabin sizes or anything. The warehouse size diving area is hilarious.

[@michaelscott1658]

The cheese factors you speak of make the show a fun watch - unintentionally humorous is oftimes funnier than intentional attempts!
