Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Difference between revisions

A 1964-68 [[Irwin Allen]] [[Sci Fi]] show starring Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane, and set on the experimental nuclear-powered research submarine, ''Seaview''. The ultimate use of the [[Recycled Script]]: almost every episode can be summarized as "[[Monster of the Week]] is defeated by [[Ray Gun|Laser Of The Week]]." A bit of a wet version of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' (which it preceded by two years). Compare ''[[SeaQuest DSV]]''.

Based on [[Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea|the 1961 film of the same name]], in which our heroes defeat a [[Hollywood Global WarningWarming|global heat wave]] (caused by the then recently discovered Van Allen radiation belt [[Hollywood Science|catching on fire]]) through [[Deus Ex Nukina]]. No, seriously. The movie's storyline was later on recycled as a series episode titled "The Sky's On Fire", complete with copious amounts of [[Stock Footage]] from the motion picture.
