The greatest television show of this or any era
10 February 1999 | by See all my reviews

To say that The Great Space Coaster is the greatest television show of our time would be an understatement. Millions of people everywhere have been touched by its intelligent, witty, heartwarming and profound storylines. The cast contributed some of the best acting ever seen in a modern television production. The lavish costumes and cutting-edge special effects brought us all to a new level of appreciation. This show truly pushed the boundaries of television programming. Our culture is richer for it.
