Answer 1

I watched The Paper Chase faithfully (I was scared of the professor); and I used to still catch Land of the Giants when it was coming on SciFi early in the mornings. I don't remember the others.

Answer 2

I remember Mary, Mungo and Midge and hector's House. I loved Land of the Giants and Space 1999 and I vaguely recall the Double Deckers!

Answer 3

The Paper Chase was quite possibly one of the best shows to ever be on TV - it got much better when it went to Showtime after CBS cancelled it.....followed the law students all the way to graduation.

As sci-fi goes, Space 1999 was quite good although the first year was better than the second.

Land of the Giants - ok, kind of a goofy premise, but not a bad program.

Never heard of any of the others.

Answer 4

1. the paper chase - NO
2. mary mungo and midge - YES
3. hectors house - YES
4. the land of the giants - NO
5. spaced 1999 - god it sounded a long way off then but its been and gone - YES
6. double deckers (no not the chocolate bar) - YES

Answer 6

I loved The Paper Chase on Showtime. They started to make Prof. Kingsfield a little more human without compromising a memorable character. Land of the Giants was a little on the campy side but still entertaining. I remember Space 1999 but never really watched it. I recall that it was one of many career missteps Martin Landau had between the time he left "Mission:Impossible" and his back to back Oscar nods for "Tucker" and "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (Leading to his eventual Best supporting actor win for "Ed Wood")

Answer 7

I don't remember The paper Chase or Double Decker's but I do remember the rest and Space 1999 Can be see on ITV4.

Answer 9
