Logan's Run (1977–1978)
7/10
Good show

I actually saw this before the movie. It aired right after Wonder Woman's second season on CBS. It was Friday nights and how exciting with SciFi and a super heroine!

Unfortunately, I only saw the first episode and really couldn't see the rest as this was past my bed time (I was six at the time). But I remember liking what I saw.

(I later saw the syndicated run of the movie it was based on and thought I was going to see the first episode; while I was NOT disappointed, I did enjoy the movie immensely!)

Fast foward to 2022, Logan's Run the TV series is being streamed on tubitv. I re-acquaint myself with the show and watch the whole series; in my opinion it was a well made what-if further adventures of leaving the domed city.

Logan, Jessica and REM the android make for a weekly adventure facing many challenges in the quest for Sanctuary. They face many friends and foes along the way in several exciting plots.

Unfortunately, most TV shows based on movies fail to make the grade. Whether from fans of the big screen original, critics or both. Even with decent to well written stories, a hit movie adapted for the small screen has big shoes to fill and convincing an established audience, plus newcomers if they want to remain on air.

The Logan's Run TV series was not perfect by any means, but had very decent episodes worthy of the SciFi genre it is a part of and for fans. Its a shame it became another statistic of failed TV adaptations of movies.
