Space Cases

The feel of how this show was filmed reminds me of "the tomorrow people". Group of young cadets let curiosity get the better of them and sneak aboard a strange alien space cruiser. Suddenly, they find themselves in unknown space, trying to get home while battling a race called the "spung". Like most good shows however, it died too soon because most viewers prefer "stupid-vision"(aka "reality shows").

I at least would very much like to see this series released on DVD, or for some other station(COUGH~independent~COUGH)to broacast this show on the air again. Barring that, if I could gain permission to do so - I would start a LPTV and broadcast it myself! Shows like this should NOT be allowed to drift into obscurity!

This show was one of my favorites from when I was a kid. I haven't thought of it for a long time, but I stumbled across an online writer who does the most amazing fan fiction about the characters, and so I've recently been seized by renewed interest in the show. I felt it had so much potential, and I think the time is ripe for it to make a comeback, if not on television, then in novels, or comic books, or something! The saga was left so unfinished, the cadets never even got close to getting home, Cat was still trapped in Yensid, there was so much of the story left to tell! Peter David, if you read this, please consider writing some Space Cases novels, or allow other writers to take up the cause!

I haven't seen this show for many years, but I remember it fondly due to it's whimsical blend of humor, adventure, and sci-fi fantasy. Astronomy is the science of creation, and this show was a beautiful metaphor for the purity and timeless enchantment the stars hold for all humanity. Set in the 23rd century, 5 students get lost in the boon docks of the Milky way galaxy after sneaking aboard an alien vessel and getting sucked into a wormhole, and come of age during their seven year odyssey as they explore and enrich the space they voyage through. I as a viewer found it poetic and marvelous to trek along with them on their quest, and hope one day the show will be resurrected in some form.

Wow, this is amazing. I adored the show from day one - wasn't it part of "Snick"? - and eagerly tuned in until they killed off Catalina, my favorite character . . . from then on I lost interest. Bearing in mind that I lacked a good deal of perspective four years ago, I still remember a very good show, and I'd love to see reruns now to know if I was right.

I remember this show. I watched it when I was little and actually really enjoyed it. I just watched a terrible movie (on purpose) and was discussing how space actually works when I felt I absolutely needed to look up the name of this show I'd watched so many years ago. Space Cases actually came up first on my search and here I am. Wow. To be honest I don't remember much about it, except I believe that the ship was different in each room for each person. I think I started somewhere in the middle of the series and only managed to watch a couple of episodes. Still it was good and I remember being unhappy when the show as taken off the air.
