Misfits of Science (1985-86). Class Dismissed.
#80stv #80s #vaultofalmost
Stam Fine Reviews looks at a short lived 80s series Misfits of Science (created by James D. Parriot) was a show that channeled some of the energy of Ghostbusters by having whacky scientists working with people with super powers. An adventure series with a slightly absurd sense of humour, Misifts is fairly different to its contemporaries and perhaps a little ahead of its time.
Stars: Dean Paul Martin, Kevin Peter Hall, Mark Thomas Miller, Courteney Cox, Max Wright, Jennifer Holmes, Diana Civita.

    For anyone who is interested in more and most importantly brand new Misfits of Science action, science UA-camr Joe Scott (Answers with Joe) did a full cast script reading of a Misfits of Science reboot he wrote a script for. It’s actually really good and truly captures the spirit of the original show. I highly suggest you give it a watch you won’t be disappointed.

    The lady at the beginning has a princess Leia double hair bun 0:09. This is the second time I have seen this predating Star Wars. The other was, I think a 40s movie. The hair dresser should have been compensated by Star Wars.

    This was such a great show, especially for the time. It's no wonder NBC killed it (because 1980s NBC was pretty antithetical to good television). I remember that it was hard to watch because they kept on moving it around the schedule. Thanks for the memories!

    It was an interesting take on the character, kind of an amalgamation of the classic superhero and the de-powered spy Wonder Woman of the early 70s. It just wasn’t what the fans wanted though. The Lynda Carter series gave us one season of the classic 1940s WW, the next 2 seasons were set in contemporary times with a anti-espionage spin that pretty matched up with the comics of the time.

    I definitely think it would have worked had it not been set in the 60s. Obviously that had already been done and it worked then because that was when it was made. But to make a 1998 movie into a 1960s movie was never gonna work. If they had made it in present year, it probably would’ve worked I think. And the posh accents of Steed and Peel in this movie. What the hell! They never spoke like that in the series.

    The Nationals mentioned in the film are probably the National Air Races. According to Wikipedia, the National Air Races are a series of pylon and cross country aircraft races that were held in places like Cleveland Ohio since 1920. Secord and Peevy were probably preparing for this event. However, the Nationals usually took place in September, so Secord would have an entire year to prepare.
