Logan's Run Complete TV Series - Michael Caffey - (1977) DVD

This television series based on the movie of the same name wherein the entire planet is devastated by a nuclear holocaust and in the 23rd century various societies sprout everywhere and are totally oblivious of each other. One of these communities is the City of Domes wherein the citizens live in total bliss but because of limited space and resources, everyone who reaches the age of 30 is executed in an event called Carousel wherein they are told that they might be renewed in a new form. Now there are dissidents who don't believe the tales of the outside still uninhabitable because of the nuclear radiation. And they also believe of a place called Sanctuary where they can live in peace. These individuals are called Runners and they are hunted by men called Sandmen. One of these men is Logan, who questions whether being renewed actually happens and if the outside is uninhabitable. When he is sent to track down some runners, one of them Jessica who knows about Logan's doubts fuels them with what she knows and Logan decides to join her and they leave the city and search for Sanctuary. Francis, Logan's partner is tasked with trying to find him. Along the way they meet Rem an android, who helps them find their way and teach about the world they have entered.

I used to watch this on a Saturday morning. I still has a good feel to it. The stories do now seem weak and the world does seem to be full of people wanting to control it. This does not distract the viewer from enjoying the dated costumes and at times rather weak extras. I forgot how many times REM says - "My dear Jessica". Still a classic.

One last comment, I thought the wheels on the solar car were very well hidden, but the fact they had to slide the wooden doors open like a bread bin...makes me laugh still.
