A nostalgia hit from the 1990's

Do you remember an old Canadian SF series called Starlost?

You mean, http://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/The_Starlost]one of the worst shows ever to be broadcast? I was such a fan when I was ten, I wrote NBC (who broadcast it in the States) a couple of times, and they sent me a few pages xeroxed from the show's bible (which was written by Ben Bova).

And yeah, of course the terminals were like that. Starlost was made on a budget of spit and baling wire, and sometimes the baling wire was too expensive -- they pretty much made do with whatever was handy. (It made the early Doctor Who stuff look like Oscar-winning design by comparison.)

Yeah, that one. (For a Canadian series of the time, it had a pretty big budget. To compare, Canadian game shows of the time gave away toasters where US game shows gave away cars.)
