Storyline

The Spindrift, a commercial spaceship on a flight from New York City to London, became lost when it passed through a strange cloud in the ship's orbit around Earth. It landed on an alternate Earth-type planet, where the inhabitants were roughly twelve times the size of the Spindrift's passengers. Our heroes include the ship's captain (Steve Burton), co-pilot (Dan) and stewardess (Betty); an arrogant engineer (Mark); a sexy jet-setter (Valerie); a young boy (Barry) and his dog Chipper; and a mysterious rogue known as Commander Fitzhugh. Together they battle the planet's totalitarian government, try to avoid capture, and attempt to repair the Spindrift so they can get back home. Written by Marty McKee <mmckee@wkio.com>

All Time Favorite Show
6 December 2001 | by (High In the Rockies) – See all my reviews

I first saw this fantastic show when it originally aired. I have watched it every time it's on tv (and when it's taken off the air I watch my tapes of the show!) It is the best sci-fi show ever made! The camera angles and the realistic props are excellent. Great story lines and even greater actors made it a wonderful show! My favorite was beautiful and sexy Deanna Lund as Valerie. I wish it had lasted more than just 51 episodes. If you love sci-fi this show is a MUST see!!
