As brilliantly seen on MST3K, proving not EVERYTHING on PBS was "superior entertainment." Thanks for the post. I am interested to see if MST3K edited anything.

I recently watched this for the first time and had to grin at the special effects. The pace seemed all wrong as well as I wasn't marveling as I should have.

I saw at once this wasn't a movie to be "taken seriously" and on that basis it was a very fun ride. Made me want to dig out the old Max Headroom episodes...

That's very interesting. I think I watched it with expectations that were too high. Oh dear.
