Big-budget sci-fi flop that was more than a bit reminiscent of 'Star Wars' (with which it shared a special-effects creator). Set 4000 years in the future, 'Galactica' follows the fragile fortunes of a caravan of spaceships fleeing to Earth from a galaxy dominated by mechanical beings bent on destroying the human race. The series launched on ABC and was canned the next year, only to resurface with just one original cast member in 1980 as 'Galactica 1980.' The sequel died even quicker.

The Six-Million Dollar Man's former fiancée gets bionic and undertakes perilous missions for a covert government agency in this two-year spin-off from ABC's comic-book adventure hit. Like astronaut Steve Austin, Jaime Sommers' superhuman powers came courtesy of electronic body parts that replaced both of her legs, her right arm and her right ear. When the series moved to NBC in 1977, Jaime was joined by Max, a bionic German Shepherd.
TV's original Fantasy Island, with Ricardo Montalban, ran from 1978 to 1984. Visitors still fly to the island to fulfill their fantasies of romance or adventure, but a darker edge and supernatural touches were added to the 1998 TV series, filmed on the islands of Maui, Kauai and Oahu. The somewhat sinister Mr. Roarke (Malcolm McDowell) presides over Fantasy Island, accompanied by shape-shifting Ariel (Madchen Amick) and sidekicks Cal (Louis Lombardi) and Harry (Edward Hibbert). Tales in the opening episode involved sibling rivalry, a reckless thrill-seeker, and a man hoping for a reunion with his high-school sweetheart. Running the Fantasy Island travel agency are Clia (Sylvia Sidney) and Fisher (Fyvush Finkel). Premiered September 26, 1998 on ABC.
