Have watched the first 60 episodes on DVD of the previously unknown-to-me series (In US when original broadcast) and have been totally delighted with it.
The first episode were slow but then the pace became excellent. No transporters, good old fashion shuttles (modelled on the lunar lander), no aliens -- dealing with human issues of space exploration in a very mature realistic scenario. Very much in the style of early science fiction (not the later technology awe which dominates Hollywood SciFi). We wait for US Post to deliver the next episodes (ordered from Amazon.co.uk)
