I actually watched NBC's "The Fantastic Journey":

NBC did have the quirky short term hit called Quark, a sci fi sitcom about a space sanitation vessel. The show spoofed Star Wars, 2001 A Space Odyssey, and Star Trek, and several other sci fi films of the late 70s.

 

Here is its pilot episode:

I did not know that that show (Fantasty Journey) existed until just now.

You can actually watch the pilot movie on youtube. I used to watch the show every Thursday night on NBC as a kid. It only lasted a few months before it got cancelled, but for some reason I liked it. It was probably simply that I was starved for sci fi programming.

The only show that was listed in the promo that had any success was Centennial, but it was planned as a 12 part miniseries, and so it could not rescue NBC's dismal schedule.

 

I loved Michener's book, Centennial, but I wasn't as impressed with the miniseries when it came out.

 

BUT I found it on youtube a whie back, and it really is EXCELELNT, and it is fun watching the cameo roles by some of the then-big names.. and future big names....

 

Of course, one has to be open to a LONG story.... literally beginning with the rocks, lands, native peoples, etc....

I especially liked this episode, with the introduction of a character with his roots in Amish country:

You never know when you will buy a 15 year old PC.

No. You never know when you will have a big party and run out of coasters. :|

And the coasters would be the hot topic.
