Year One
1975

Space: 1999 premiered on American television in September 1975. Created by the husband and wife team of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, the series starred another husband and wife team, Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, who had previously worked together on Mission: Impossible, and Barry Morse, who had previously earned a reputation as “The Most Hated Main In America” for his portrayal of Lt. Gerard, the police detective who relentlessly bird-dogged Dr. David Kimball in the original TV series The Fugitive. The highlights of the production were its authentic set design and spectacular special effects, as well as a stellar cast of guest artists including Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Leo McKern and Joan Collins. One way in which the series was revolutionary was that all 24 episodes were completed and in the can before the first episode ever aired. This allowed the quality to stay consistent throughout the first season, without the meddling of network executives changing things around in mid-season. The second season — or Year Two, as it came to be known — was a very different story....
