Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Jon Hynds Logan's Run is one of my favorite shows from the mid 70's. If I recall,it competed with Buck Rogers, The Hulk & Battlestar Galactica in the great 70's era of Charlies Angels, CHiPS, MASH, Happy Days, Dallas etc. Obviously Universal won out over MGM TV with their series tho I always thought the MGM science fiction from the 50's - 60 - 70's was different, ideological & more enjoyable than the more mainstream format of other scifi TV series of this era, tho obviously MGM, in decline at this time, didn't have the same budgets to work with as Universal, Fox or Paramount. This series was great, starring Gregory Harrison & the concepts original & engaging, even now for me. The sets, costumes (other than the Sandmen's kit) & sfx are hammy, even camp, when it comes to the female kit & protagonists Logan & Jessica encounter, with glitter fabrics right out of a gay mardigras; probably from bolts of material left in the store house from the old MGM musicals era.The decaying MGM backlot is used to excellent effect in Logan's Run. There's something about TV series from the 60's 70's that apart from the nostalgia element has a aura all its own; is a similar feel with 'The Invaders from the mid 60's, another show I love. Also, I recon Data from ST ripped off Rem
gregoryshnly I remember seeing Logan's Run the TV series as a kid and being addicted. I've recently saw the series reran on cable here in the UK,full marks to Gregory Harrison,he is perfect as Logan,Donald Moffatt as the android Rem,is great and he steals every scene,he's in with his wit. Heather Menzies is likable as Jessica,but the creators were clearly going for a Farrah Fawcett look,hair and lip gloss,and credibility takes a nose dive with Jessica's perfect hair and make up as she and Logan run for their lives. There were several big mistakes made early on,removing the glowing red light crystal that signal Carousel on a 30 year old hands,making a Council of humans in the pilot,rather than the horrific creatures in the film. The real threat of death was removed as Francis was instructed to bring Logan and Jessica back to the City of Domes alive rather than dead,Francis not as frightening as he was in the film and indeed,he doesn't appear in a large number of episodes. The best episode to me,was the one when a man from the past arrives and is trying to stop the nuclear war,excellent episode. Another good episode was the one when the trio meet six people and through an accident,there is only a serum to save three and then people begin to get killed,as one of th esix,reduces the odds,showed how excellent the series could be with a good script. I hope it appears on DVD .
bcolquho Logan's Run, based on the 1976 movie of the same name, was a good show. Gregory Harrison was Logan, a Sandman, Heather Menzies was Jessica. A Runner. Runners are people who want to live beyond the age of 30. In the futuristic society that Logan and Jessica live, it's against the law. When you reach your 30thbirthday, you're a dead man, or woman. Donald Moffat played the android Rem. Logan's Run originally aired on Friday nights at 9:00 pm, but was bounced around the time slots so much by CBS that when it finally ended in 1978, CBS didn't care whether it survived or not. It was never on the Sci-Fi Channel. It would also make a good DVD presentation.
mareds Although I was only 9 or 10 when it was first aired in my country (dominican republic), I was very impressed with the storytelling and I thought that the actors were pretty cool!! Specially REM. All of my friends and I thought that Heather Menzies was a goddess!!The fact that it ran for only 14 episodes makes the prospects of ever watching reruns (specially here in my country) so much harder!! Too bad, such a great series...
