LOgan's Run is yet another TV effort to cash in on the science fiction book Star Wars, and to some degree Close Ecounters of the Third Kind set off in the 1977/1978 period. I won't add a huge deal to what other reviewers have already said here, although I am pleased the series is out on DVD now. I tried to see all science fiction, or fantastic genre TV series in the 1970s at least most of the time. I don't think I have actually seen any of LR-the TV series even on VHS since it first sired, but I enjoyed what of them I can recall. Gregory Harrison, and the lovely Heather Menzies fit the parts of Logan and Jessica well. Had CBS not bounced the show all over their schedule. it might have been a success.

I think the last two or three episodes were not sired if memory serves correctly. There was also a very short-run comic from Marvel based on the series of which I have seen a few copies, and seem easy to find for comics fans. Both this series, and the 1976 feature film were based on the novel Logan's Run by William F. Nolan, and George Clayton Johnson, who is no doubt best-known as a scriptwriter(the original Star Trek, others).
