As I watched it I realized it was about the people far more than it was about the shows. When it mentioned the other shows that Irwin Allen produced I was impressed as I was a fan of a lot of them. I got why he was in the list. I recognized his name. When The Outer Limits was mentioned in this post it occured to me that I had no idea who had produced either the BW or color versions. Maybe they didn't even have a single person in charge? So I looked up the original BW show in IMDB. I didn't remember Leslie Stevens. Then I started reading the list of his other credits. Wow. Both of the OL series and a bunch of other stuff. Very impressive. But it remains that before looking him up in IMDB I did not recognize his name while I recognized Irwin Allen just from it being listed together with Gene Roddenbury and Rod Sterling. For a show about the people, name recognition matters. I'll go with disappointed but I do understand why he wasn't in the list. --- SBBSecho 2.12-Win32* Origin: Time Warp of the Future BBS - Home of League 10 (1:14/400) SEEN-BY: 3/0 633/267 640/954 712/0 313 550 620 848 @PATH: 14/400 261/38 712/848 633/267 |
