Back To Index UFO: Complete Megaset
 Barnes & Noble After pioneering "super-marionation" with the sci-fi series Fireball XL-5 and taking it to another level in Thunderbirds, Gerry Anderson dove into live-action TV Sci-Fi with UFO. Originally telecast in 1970 and set in 1980, the series introduces SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization) and its monumental task -- defending the planet from alien invasion. Led by Commander Ed Straker (Ed Bishop), SHADO launches counterattacks from a secret moon base as aliens invade Earth and attempt to harvest human organs. This eight-DVD set includes the shows full 26 episodes, with commentaries from Anderson, co-creator Sylvia Anderson, actors Ed Bishop and Wanda Ventham, outtakes, and a Gerry Anderson Biography. For UFO fans, this release is a nostalgic blast. But newbies will be especially impressed -- or at least charmed -- by this stylish forerunner to Andersons even more ambitious Space 1999.

(tragobh@netscape.net), an Engineer works on Space Products, April 5, 2004 The Future has PassedI first saw the UFO seires as a child growing up. Occasionally the SCI FI channels would carry it and I would catch an episoide. Finding the full collection of 26 episoides and being able to watch them at my conivence was too good to be true. Although the series takes place in 1980 it was originaly filmed 10 years earlier and show the influence of the Hippie Era and a new found material called Polyester. The Cars today still do not look like what they expected them to. The special effects that Spielberg uses far surpass this attempt of Aliens, Starships and Moonbases, but that is what makes this original. Gerry Anderson used his talents to create a Space war here on Earth, a feeling of the world uniting for this cause. The Actors are superb including Brooklyn born Ed Bishop. This is a must for any Sci Fi collector and 23 hours of pure enjoyment.Also Recommended: Fireball XL-5, and Starship Troopers, Alien Trilogy.
