Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

calneto In Brazil, this series aired in the early 80's, and I loved it. I now realize it came before Star Wars, which makes it look even better to my eyes. I recently got hold of all 14 episodes and am watching them all, one by one, and must say that I think the series is still great. Of course it brings memories from those times in my life, but the way the stories are so naive is great. The weak sexual tension between Logan 5 and Jessica 6 (the numbers instead of family names are also precious), the obvious reference to Mr. Spock in Rem's lines, the still great looking effects of the sandman's weapons... I read they are planning on a remake for 2012. I just hope it is not as bad as the original 76 movie.

copper1963 The best episode from the most underrated television series from the 1970's, the aptly titled, "Man out of Time" entry, sings a story that can only be described as wonderfully compelling. Science Fiction doesn't have to be dumbed down for the masses. "Logan's Run" (in my opinion) never did that. This teleplay proves it. A man from the past drops in for a visit with Logan, Jessica and Rem. He's coy at first. Evasive. He tells the trio--who wonder where the heck he came from--that he's traveled here in this matter scrambling thingamajig, from somewhere in the western provinces or something. After a few greetings, and a visit from a patrol of Sandmen, they come to a consensus that they will search for "Sanctuary" together. Pool resources. An elderly fellow soon arrives and escorts them to the village HE calls "Sanctuary," a seemingly popular destination for (time) travelers. The people of this enclave are friendly but scientifically backward. They worship at a temple the man from the past use to work in when it was a science lab. He grouses about "Project: Sanctuary" being a failure. The others are bemused and perplexed at his assertions. He knows he will soon have to leave and return home to the past. He's on a strict timetable. When he does return home to his time with the new found knowledge of what is to come, will that be the catalyst he needs to stop the hostilities from occurring in his time? But will that also negate the births of Logan and Jessica, and the design and production of Rem? Tune in and see for yourselves. It's a gasser of a tale. "Logan's Run," the series, deserves a DVD release.

michael_mckenna Back in the 1970s, almost every good movie wound up as a TV series, often with less than satisfactory results. However, LOGAN'S RUN, like MASH, was not only better on TV, but aired by CBS as well. Too bad CBS didn't give LOGAN'S RUN a chance to become the hit series that it deserved to be.Like the movie, our heroes managed to escape their Utopian city in pursuit of "sanctuary". As a movie, there is one chance before the credits roll. As a TV series, the potential to explore all kinds of strange civilians that evolved after the Holicaust which destroyed all civilization as we know it.My favorite episode involved Logan and Jessica having discovered the remains of an advanced civilization that had been abandoned with no evidence of violence or sickness. It was as if everyone had simply packed up and gone away.Puzzled by this, Logan and Jessica investigate and discover some archives and a time machine.Seeing this as an opportunity to change history and prevent the holocaust from happening, Logan goes back into time to present day Washington DC, where he reads the newspapers about US/Soviet talks disintegrating and the threat of a nuclear war becoming more and more of a possibility.So Logan, in his futuristic costume, barges into the US Senate, warning them to resume talks and search for a lasting peace, or else! The elected officials actually believe him and take his advice, thanking him for the warning and Logan is treated as a hero.Patting himself on the back for a job well done, he goes back to his time, expecting to see a better world. But nothing has changed.Puzzled, he asks Jessica why the world is unchanged. She directs him to the archives and he sees himself in the news.Next, he sees that the Soviet Union demands that the US hand over its time machine.The US replies that it has no time machine.The Soviets accuse the US of lying and backs its demands with a nuclear strike.The US denies having a time machine.The Soviets react with a nuclear strike.Jessica then tells Logan, "You caused the holocaust!" The memory of this episode, after over 26 years, still gives me a chill.Too bad this series doesn't see the light as a DVD release.

shaneyfex I didn't watch the Logan's Run tv series during it's original run, I actually watched it after I saw the 'Logan's Run' movie (feature film) on the TNT Network (USA): One of Ted Turner's networks. Luckily I taped them on HiFi-VHS SP tape speed and cherish them. I was aired on TNT less than five years ago but I bet never again. I remember hearing about the tv series it being cancelled due to too much Violence according to the 70's censors. I think Gregory Harrison and Heather Menzies was a great pair and the show was great. The beautiful Melody Anderson was in a episode(Manimal tv series star). REM was a great character and a cool idea. One of Heather Menzies relatives was in the classic 'Things to Come' movie. --- Great tv series: A++++++++++++
