Synopsis

Space Precinct is a British television series that aired from 1994 to 1995 on Sky One and later on BBC Two in Britain, and in first-run syndication in the US. Many US stations scheduled the show in late night time slots, which resulted in low ratings and ensured cancellation. The series was created by Gerry Anderson and was a mix of science fiction and police procedural that combined elements of many of Anderson's previous series such as Space: 1999, UFO and Thunderbirds, but with an added dash of Law & Order and Dragnet. Gerry Anderson was Executive Producer along with Tom Gutteridge. One of the series' directors was John Glen who had previously helmed various James Bond movies.

SanteeFats Unfortunately I bought the entire season and I feel forced to watch it because of that. At first I thought this was basically a cop show sent to space. After watching a few episodes I realized that while that was the case it also was not that good. Very humdrum writing, plots, and acting. It seems that almost all the characters are from the UK and while that is not a problem I found it interesting, especially the Irish accented captain, talk stereotyping!! The special effects, such as there were, are usually lame. This is even before the really good CGI of today. Since I assume (I know) the budget was limited - all the aliens, droids, and cyborgs are all bipedal and humanoid in shape and most look like a version of hammerhead sharks on dry land, some with strange hair to say the least. There is some decent humor though along with all the hammy lines. Shackleford is the main character and acts almost as bad as the rest. His family is played poorly, especially the two kids and the oh so obvious pet. I think I will be passing this poor set on to some other unsuspecting person.
megunticook I wasn't sure if I should take this show seriously or not. I mean, you have fish walking around in cop uniforms and it's on another planet and is it funny bad or bad funny and is it on purpose or is it really that bad? The fish thing really threw me. I mean, walking, talking cop fish. What is that? It's a joke, right? Or are they serious? That's what I didn't get. Maybe I'm an idiot. Or maybe they're the idiots. I don't know. I was shocked--shocked!--to see 007 director John Glen was at the helm of this thing. I mean, really, after getting booted from Bond this is what he turns to? Walking, talking cop fish in outer space? Granted, that Christopher Columbus film is no classic, but you'd think he'd have gotten better offers than this. I actually only saw one episode and picked it up halfway through, so I really don't know what I'm talking about. Maybe it's an unsung classic. But it sure didn't seem like it.
orangelifer I can't imagine that show cost over a million per episode! Yes,it was one of the worst shows ever.But so what? I don't think it was hiding it! It was like a (slightly) more adult version of the Power Rangers,with cheap costumes,cheesy scripts,and all you would expect of a B movie.But it was fun.Of course,I'm biased,because when the series ran I was 13,and developed a crush on Rob Youngblood,one of the actors on the show.Never the less,i think it was good as what it was,one of the most absurd sci-fi series ever.The highlight of the series:Two against the rock.At least I think that was the title.My favorite episode,no contest!
masteralan Officer Jack played by Rob Youngblood, showed the quality of his work, clearly used because of his pin up looks, and sex appeal to the viewers. Dressed in high boots,tight pants, and sky blue shirt, was one of the two actors who made the show. I am sure many who watched it did so, just to see Rob, not to watch the programe as it was neither written for children or adults. Such a waste, with talented cast, and a liitle work this could have been easily made into an adult show. Then it would have been a hit.
