In recent years my enjoyment of 70s sci-fi has definitely gone up. I didn’t grow up in that decade and did not grow up watching shows like “Battlestar Galactica” or “Buck Rogers.” I was a 90s kid and we had a lot of our own sci-fi shows to become fond of.

I mean he was just experimenting with stuff, and now it is a whole industry. Crazy.
