Don't laugh...I STILL have a model of the Eagle Transport sitting on my display shelf in the living room!
Alot of people don't know that the head special effects guy (model designer) of Space 1999 was hired by George Lucas for the first Star Wars motion pic.
You should talk to NocturnalVX...he told me on the way to Moab that he has the complete series on DVD too.
SeaQuest DSV was too non-violent the first season...got better after that...than got hokey + cheesey the last season. Although..its a toss-up who the better captain was...I liked both Roy Sheider & Mike Ironside.
Space 1999 does have one thing that is hard to take seriously and makes me snicker...their laser pistols. They are useless against every alien they encounter but work really good on each
other..
Here's a couple of pics from "UFO":
