Say you just got into TV series during the first season. You follow the show on social media and you even watch a few YouTube channels dedicated to that show. The ratings aren’t that great but you’re loyal and you’ve even bought a season pass on Amazon. Even if the show gets cancelled you’ve got a copy and you will buy it on DVD & Blu Ray when it comes out. You’ll go to your local comic con and tell the actors how much you loved the show. What do you do if it’s 1985 and just a kid. I was 7 and the show was Otherworld. It was on one week and then it was no more.
Even as a kid the concept of alternate dimensions fascinated me so I was hooked. There was some hometown pride with that series too because they used the Tomkins Cove post office for a scene. It wouldn’t be until the mid 2000s that I would get to see show again. Sci-Fi would play reruns of canceled shows which is how I got into Roar. I wish they would release it for home media. I’m lucky to have it on YouTube but I know I’m not the only fan out there that wants more. Give us the unaired episodes, interview the cast and crew, and behind the scenes stuff.
There are only 7 episodes in this playlist so if you’re looking for some 80s science fiction to occupy your time check out Otherworld.
