From: Barry Margolin <Margolin@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA> I haven't seen any reruns off the Starlost series recently, but a few months ago I saw a two-hour TV movie made by concatenating the two "Oro" episodes (guest-starring Walter Koenig). It was Saturday afternoon fare on WPIX (channel 11 from NYC). Unfortunately, it was pretty boring. barmar

I haven't heard that series title since I had seen it about 11 years ago on the CBC. I had no idea that they were rerunning it... ...can anyone provide further info? Like: who is rerunning it? A national independent like WTBN, or locals? -- --- Rob DeMillo Madison Academic Computer Center ...seismo!uwvax!uwmacc!demillo / =|-- = \ = [][][] "...I don't know what this thing does, but it's pointing in your direction."

From: Barry Margolin <Margolin@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA> As far as I know, Starlost is not being rerun anywhere. My message was a response to someone's question last week about whether it was being rerun. Since my response about the tv-movie version was the only response, it's probably safe to assume that it isn't being rerun. It certainly isn't being shown on any of the stations on my cable TV, which includes WOR (New Jersey) and WTBS (is this what you meant by WTBS?). It seems unlikely that they would bother syndicating a 16-episode series that was not very popular in the first place. barmar

I have seen the entire putrid series chopped up into a series of movies and run as "Science Fiction Week" on the local UHF channel. I hope the UHF channel didn't dupe anyone into thinking THAT is science fiction! Lord Kahless
