A Brilliant Conflict

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I loved this show as a little kid. The humor was clearly designed for young children, so anyone viewing episodes now on YouTube might find the show dumb. As a kid, the show was nice escapist fantasy for me. I used to wish I could go on their adventures with them and finally see what's in the back rooms of the saucer. The silly humor added to the show's appeal, and I think that comedians Ruth Buzzi and Jim Nabors were the perfect choices for the androids with their bright sunshiny optimism, which is in sharp contrast to today's surprisingly darker characters that you find in a children's program. They also chose a catchy tune for the theme song, which I like to this day.

The Lost Saucer was one of my favorite Saturday morning TV shows as a child. I loved it! The Lost Saucer was a live-action series with all the energy and fun of a cartoon. It was wonderfully zany and anything could happen as they traveled through both space and time. It was wild! Where else on Saturday mornings could you encounter a "Chickephant"? LOL! The cast and characters were also terrific. Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzy were a perfect zany comedic duo for a kid's show. Alice Playten and Jarrod Johnson were both wonderful. The show's heart was in the right place too. It wasn't cynical or mean. The Lost Saucer was always fun and positive. I enjoyed it immensely. I have a lot of happy childhood memories of this show. I wish they'd release it on DVD.

Come on, let go of your inner critic, man! This show was cool! I really wish there were shows like this today, for my own kids to watch. No cynicism, no meanness, just good clean fun! I especially liked the Dorse and the Chickephant. This giant half-chicken, half elephant thing that lumbered along and pecked at the UFO? Inspired and surreal. Just plain silliness.In retrospect, the plot is very similar to that of Doctor Who... Time travelers pick up young people and then can't get them back home. Somehow that makes it even cooler."Oh no, it's the Chickephant!"

In this nightmarish tale, two innocent (although annoying) kids are abducted by stupid alien robots, convincingly played by Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzi. Now they are lost in time and space, and fly the titular craft to Earth's past and future to get the kids home. It's kind of like "Far Out Space Nuts" without the subtle touched of Bob Denver's performance.This show is excruciatingly bad. The plots go no where, the effects fall below even Sid and Marty Krofft's already low standards, and you want to reach into the TV and hit Jim Nabors. Also, I found Buzzi's multi-color leg warmers really disturbing.
