I agree that the 1974-1977 had cheap interior sound stage sets, however, as you stated, they created a more believable Altrusia pocket universe complete with constant scary background jungle sounds. Here in the 1991- 1993 series the on location setting outdoors looks like Earth and not an alien Altrusia environment. I mean this series is not supposed to look like they are still on Earth as we saw in on location filming of ARK II 1976-77, PLANET OF THE APES 1974-75 television series or the LOGAN'S RUN 1977-78 television series.

They always brought a touch of class to their efffects, including those in low budget films ('Killer Klowns form Outer Space', etc)... sort of like Dave Allen's work in the Full Moon pictures. By the time this show came on, fans of the original series were too old to enjoy the more childish aspects of the new show (such as the cutesy muppetish baby t-rex, I prefer Dopey anyday).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
