One episode at least gave us the visual eye candy of Barbara Rhoades, one of the most beautiful actresses of the 70s.

I don't remember Supertrain. Going to watch that clip.
I think maybe we can take a poll on the worst science fiction series ever aired. Anyone game?

I can go for that, but for most of these series I don't even remember or recall.

I think we need to compile a list of sci-fi series and people can then vote.
We could also give a brief description and year they were on TV.

A case study in how NOT to produce a television show. Painful to watch, with no redeeming value (even the "hot" actresses weren't that hot).

The only people who claimed to like it were no doubt on the Skiffy payroll.

Anything else is a distant second to this complete waste of videotape.

I am
Dawg
I 100% agree.
I've tried watching Flash Gordon.
The Ming character is one of the worst.
The Buster Crabbe serials of the 30's the Flash Gordon were far superior to this series.

Cleopatra 2525 to me was really cheesy and had some very poor storylines and some of the weirdest characters I'd ever seen in a science fiction series.

The costumes weren't bad to look at though.

Black Scorpion was really campy and cheesy. I remember one episode where Adam West (Batman) guest starred.
I actually liked Black Scorpion.

How about we hold a contest who can come up with absolute worst Science Fiction series ever aired.
The all time worst sci-fi show ever aired on television.
Also, there would be runners up.
And one of our great artists here could create a trophy for the award of the worst sci-fi show ever aired on TV. We'd then have the awards ceremony.
I can see it now... and the nominees are...

I remember watching Land of the Giants when I was a kid. I loved that show.
I'm trying to get DVDs of that show and see how I like it now.
Thanks! for posting that clip.

I nominate "Quark" it ran in early 1978 for a few months.
A thirty minute sci-fi comedy featuring the crew of a garbage scow, who took orders from a disembodied head. Complete with a half man/half woman character and a plant person named "Ficus". This show was so bad it makes Space Truckers look like an epic masterpiece.

There was a horrible series in the 1950s called Flash Gordon I remember. I'll see if I can find an example.

Its okay. I rather am a stickler for the optimistic story. We get enough downers in that thing called reality. The modern Outer Limits pushes the pessimism button a little hard. I like to see good guys win.
