Thankyou for such a great memory,i was 7years old every sunday afternoon i watched this series with my dad.

[@DoeothyCavallaro-vx4zd]

Richard Baseheart did a gret job playing a duel role. Great accent

[@DoeothyCavallaro-vx4zd]

Oh yeah he did.

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

The first episode Basehart plays a dual.role is "The Sky is Falling".

[@ravenclaw8975]

My brother and I loved this show growing up in the U.K. I remember getting some lego for Christmas and the first thing I made was a facsimile of the Seaview.

[@FlipDahlenburg]

A Lego Seaview with a nuclear reactor would be a force to be reckoned with!

[@markrobert205]

I watched every episode many times since I was a kid and the scene with Sharky and the foam has got to be the funniest in the entire series.

[@DoeothyCavallaro-vx4zd]

I think so too. Hey Santa ain't you a little early this year? Lol hilarious

[@jconradh]

Thumbed up just for the Chief Petty Officer getting foamed! 🤣

[@chrismayer3919]

He always aspired to FOAM and fortune!

[@EdRushing-te3sc]

Basehart must have loved this episode. I think he has an amazing voice! Basehart as Hitler was scary but just so attention grabbing.

[@excellNexcel]

Baseheart is a damn good actor.

[@TooleManTV]

Amen to that!

[@gorillaau]

I'll second that.

[@mariakelly90210]

Oh dear! That poor Chief of the Boat ! Naughty Admiral having a good chuckle!

[@DoeothyCavallaro-vx4zd]

Terrific acting by Richard Baseheart.

[@glennso47]

I always felt sorry for Kowalski because anytime a disaster happens he would be right there in the middle of it. I would hate to see his medical bills!

[@Debra355]

Kowalski was always great at being out of breath as well. LOL.

[@AR-iu9jv]

125 men on board and he always got the shitty jobs 😂😂😂

[@RobbyFindlay-uq2dy]

What a shoddy way to run a naval sub🫣😅. No communication between the ranks. Secrets🤫 kept that put the crew in danger. The officers should all be reprimanded and stripped of rank, they're clueless😂. They're bonkers🤪 I love it, great stuff 👍❤🫡

[@duanezetrouer6048]

Thank you for all of these great shows

[@TooleManTV]

You are welcome! It's my pleasure to bring them to you.

[@DeborahManiscalco]

David Hedison always made a major hit with the ladies I was only 10 years old when I fell in love with him in 1964 Irwin Allen knew what he was doing with us from the very beginning didn’t he give us David Hedison will get an audience. It got me glued to the TV set every Sunday night. Thanks for the upload you guys.

[@jackpayne5101]

Same here my brother would watch this show and I just happened to see a bit one day and I noticed the Captain I was hooked immediately ❤

[@Debra355]

Love this one too. One thing though, if you look closely enough, Captain Nelson wears a wrist watch. Did they even have wrist watches in 1822? AND, it seems to be the same one the Admiral wears. LOL (I just read that someone else noticed this as well LOL)

[@jackpayne5101]

This was quite a good one I loved the scene with poor old Sharky and when he came in the control room that was funny. 😂

[@terriwarner8682]

No matter how many times I watch this episode, I still laugh so hard! There is a part missing, however, after Sharkey leaves, Chip walks away down the hall but turns back to make sure it did not reappear and it was funny too.

[@TooleManTV]

You have a good memory. I wish the episodes were complete. The HDTV quality of these videos is traded off for a few cuts in the original story. In many cases, the cuts are not noticeable. Unfortunately, this is not one of those.

[@Debra355]

Yes, there are a few that are edited like that.

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

Many Voyage fans are so familiar with these episodes they can point out the edited scenes.

[@BostLabs]

BTW; @TooleManTV, thank you for showing these episodes. It makes my old heart go pitter-pad. :)

[@leilal8053]

Amusing change of pace. I was in 4th grade when this came out....had a HUMONGOUS Crush on Cpt. Crane. 🥰

[@stevenrussell5340]

I was four in 1965 when this episode came out. Don't you just love the special effects for this time frame? So cool.

Wasn't he georgious though 😍

Yep, can't go a single episode without the Seaview getting rocked by something!

[@totallyskint5899]

Been enjoying these episodes.

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

I think there are three episodes where Richard Basehart plays a dual role. My favorite one is "The Sky is Falling" from season one.

[@michaelschramm1064]

That’s a great one since Basehart does a very credible job portraying an extraterrestrial.

[@richroj]

where is the closing music ? I love that theme.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Considering how many EXTREMELY bizarre things that have happened and these guys have seen and heard with their own eyes and ears, it's kind of funny that the crew continues to doubt other people when they report something strange. But anyways, that TV for kids back in the day! This was truly "Lost In Space" under the sea (but without a snivelling and conniving character like Dr. Smith).

[@michaelschramm1064]

Going by the first two generally “serious story” seasons of Voyage, Star Trek was very much like this show in outer space.

[@marshadowstudiosledgends173]

i loved this show as a kid

[@jodypitt3629]

My parent's home was once haunted by my Dad's spirit. My Mum had awoke in the early hours of a Saturday morning to the shock that Dad had passed away next to her in the night, I couldn't see him but I could sense his presence, Dad hadn't believed in God because as a soldier he had witnessed both soldiers and civilians die like flies in WW2.

[@TheWLOBS]

Great!!!

[@cornjobb]

i live for that musical stinger at the very start. that is so engraved on my mind, it's sad, really.

[@chrisjohnston4445]

What happened with the music for the end titles?

[@gloriaannopperman2734]

9:18 Lee Crane was so handsome. I also crushed on Adam Cartwright. When Jerry and I married we all three raced with Dale Earnhardt, Sr and we did so until Dale was killed on February 18th, 2001. The day Dale died we left Nascar, we had lost our fave of all time. We have never returned. Thank you. Gloria and Bear and my Heavenly crew from Texas

[@deecook8393]

At 12:49 He says, "come out or I'll open fire." The guy speaks and Basehart starts firing anyway. Lol!!

[@BZizzle]

These guys must wake up every morning and think, "What kind of crazy $hit is going to happen today?"

[@trevorinthailand]

That 1822 nelson was totally insane😂😂😂😂😂😂

There's a wrist watch on the ghost when he is talking to Nelson in his office....

Richard Basehart & David Hedison Have to be Outstanding Actors to keep a Straight Face when dealing with Outrageous Monsters of the Week. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

In the episode about the little clown there was a scene where Capt Crane told a revived Nelson "...he turned the crew into wax dummies". David Hedison was trying very hard to keep a straight face.

To be sure, to be sure

[@cornjobb]

i wonder if the stars of irwin allen's films rejoiced when they got a script like this with a dual role, so they can stretch as an actor, or did they go home thinking, twice as much work for the same salary...

[@TooleManTV]

I read that Richard Basehart's co-stars said he enjoyed performing the dual role. Easy to see why, too, both from the quality of the script and a chance for him to stretch a little, and in contrast to the usual repetitive monster scripts Irwin Allen had them grinding out weekly.

[@Debra355]

In the episode where Basehart played another dual role, 'Day of Evil', in the a split screen in the Admiral's office with the Admiral & the alien, when 'it's time for reckoning,' you can see something that looks like metal behind Basehart's (as the alien) right ear. It doesn't go into the ear though. I wondered if it was something that communicated the pacing of the lines?

[@stevenrussell5340]

24:40 Same dive crash scene used in several other episodes.

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

Budget. Issue covered in Marc Cushman s excellent Voyage books.

[@gorillaau]

Does anyone know where on that sub Kowalski works? He seems to be a gofer but always getting attention of officers.

[@TooleManTV]

He works in the "sidekick" department. Whenever Nelson or Crane needs someone to get in trouble with them, Kowalski is their man!

[@StellaTomlinson85463]

Because of budget restrictions,Kowalski was the main crewman seen in whatever role that applied to that grade.

[@jongwyn6433]

just how much weird shit does this crew have to see before they start believing each other

[@michaelschramm1064]

“Sir, this gonna sound nuts, but I saw these fossil men. Before that I saw toys operating by themselves using miniature weapons, puppets talking on their own…oh yes, also a walking, talking waxwork figure of Admiral Nelson…” Crane: “Ok Kowalski…you can finish your sonar shift early. Why don’t you take a nice nap in your quarters-do you some good”.

A phantom is on board the sub

Air off a duct’s back! 😝

[@rascalferret]

In color was certainly a thing...

[@lazyhazeldaisy9596]

Honestly, they certainly had big air vents didn't they!

[@gorillaau]

Big enough to hide a body inside. Otherwise the air vents are as opulent as the rest of the submarine. It's huge all around.

[@tperk]

John McClane would have killed for air ventilation this spacious inside Nakatomi Plaza.

[@rael5469]

3:33 LOL.

[@mariakelly90210]

David Hedison played CIA Agent Felix Leiter in the Roger Moore James Bond film Live And Let Die and the Timothy Dalton James Bond film Licence To Kill.

[@lazyhazeldaisy9596]

David Hedison was best friends with Roger Moore, it was actually Roger who told David to do the show because he was so unsure about doing it, thank goodness he did.

[@michaelschramm1064]

@@lazyhazeldaisy9596True story. However Hedison was still unconvinced, recalling his role in Allen’s “The Lost World”. What ultimately cinched it was his learning that Basehart signed on.

[@FlipDahlenburg]

I was stoked to see him in Live and Let Die! He's Felix Leiter to me, I had read all the books before I saw the movies.

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

David Hedison guest starred on an episode of the Saint. In that episode David Hedison and Roger Moore had really great chemistry.

Ok Lets see. Shoot bullets at something obviously corporeal. Then expect the same array of bullets (not just one) to respect the hull of an undersea vessel at the mercy of oceanic pressures. I guess the ship could be made of the element, Unobtainium.

[@jeffwright7373]

No smoking on modern-day subs

[@paulpisano8538]

The tobacco companies sponsored the show, so the actors had to smoke.

[@alaindubois1505]

How unbelievable - smoking on a sub?

[@chrismayer3919]

Back in the 60s, EVERYONE was smoking; even on game shows up to the late 70s (it’s a wonder the didn’t blaze up on other TV shows like Star Trek) 🚬

[@RobbyFindlay-uq2dy]

What a shoddy way to run a naval sub😮😂. The officers should all be reprimanded and stripped of rank😢. The Admiral has valuable info that he keeps from his officers, what a jackass🫏. I love it. All that stupidity and nothing resembling the slightest in the way of intelligent thought. What a great show and clever way of displaying how it is possible for buffoonary and innate stupidity to triumph whilst at the same time putting the crew at risk unnecessarily. Fantastic😂🤪🫏❤ I love ❤️ it😊 PS. I wonder how close to the truth 🤔 this show is😂.

[@paulsmodels]

When I was a kid I used to love this TV show. Now after watching 2 or 3 of them on You Tube I realise how absurd they really are.

[@TooleManTV]

Yeah, but they look great and they are a lot of fun!

[@cmillerg6306]

Well, the rebooted Star Trek movies aren't nearly this old and they seem absurd!😂

[@EviLHiTmAn]

Considering it’s a show that has recently went to color the colors are so vivid so beautiful! Did you upscale the resolution or adjust the color?

[@TooleManTV]

@@EviLHiTmAn Thanks for asking. I think the studio (Fox) scanned the negatives or safety prints in high resolution when they created the DVD set. My posts are recordings of over-the-air HD broadcasts (720p). I have adjusted the color to bring out its vibrancy.

[@randyacuna5643]

Paul , you just matured, like all of us. Fun show growing up , not the same now. At times , growing up does take the fun out of a fun child memory.

[@chrismayer3919]

Sure; any good maritime officer must WATCH out for himself!

[@chrismayer3919]

No matter what show is being televised, at least ONE episode has a supernatural or paranormal ‘haunted’ aspect of it. VTTBOTS is certainly no different. Being Goth, I certainly have no reversal regarding the applied sub-genre to any teleplay. 🏚️👻

[@TooleManTV]

@chrismayer3919 😆 "SUB genre." I see what you did there.
