A short blurb from BCI-Eclipse-Entertainment Rights about Space Academy: The Complete Series:” Class was never this much fun at your school…the students at Space Academy major in adventure! Under the guidance of their instructor Commander Gampu (played by Jonathan Harris) the young cadets attending Space Academy in the year 3732 include Captain Chris Gentry, his telepathic sister Laura Gentry, action-oriented Tee Gar Soom, brainy Lt. Paul Jerome, and the pretty young Adrian Pryce-Jones. Joining the Blue Team for learning and adventure are the robot Peepo and the blue-haired mysterious space orphan Loki.”
Finally! Space Academy is available on DVD! This was one of my all time favorite Saturday morning shows ever!! BCI Eclipse-Entertainment Rights have done a fantastic job with this set! They really care what the consumer wants especially for the older baby boomer kids like me! The show ran in 1977 for 15 episodes and spawned another series, Jason of Star Command that is also coming to DVD soon! The Special effects were done by some of the same people that worked on the first Star Wars Film. This set is packed full of extras including audio commentaries on two episodes an over a half-hour documentary with 3 people from the original cast reminiscing about the show. Lots of promo photos and behind the scenes photos with interview clips, Easter Eggs, and people with DVD players can access all the scripts from the series and Series bible in pdf format! I can’t say enough about this set!
