I'm sorry to say no. I've seen it available in DVD as a combo with Fantastic Voyage but I've held off. This was an impulse buy. Happened to see it on the shelf at Best Buy and had to have it! :up:

I'd love to have the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea theme music for my U-Boat gramaphone track...anachronistic as it may be. :cool:

You can get the opening scene theme music as a wave from this site.

I enjoyed this series myself as a kid in the late sixties early seventies. The first season in b/w I thought had more credible storylines whereas when it turned to colour in the second season it went more over to sci-fi storylines. The second season also saw the introduction of the flying sub.

As far as the theatrical movie went...I could eat Barbara Eden with a spoon.

I remember watching the TV series as a boy. Heck, I even got a toy Seaview sub for Christmas that shot real torpedoes! Awesome. I don't remember much about the show...I remember one episode where a small diving bell was swallowed by a whale. I knew that it was stupid...but I still watched it.

These TV shows and the movie (along with Lost in Space) were produced by Irwin Allen...notoriously known for production qualities that would make you cringe. Later, he became known as the self-proclaimed king of the disaster movies in the 70s. They pretty much blew chunks too....

But Ms. Eden was hot, so he can be forgiven for a lot of the camp the thought was high art...

I am thinking of buying the first season. I wonder how many episodes are in the set?. As I remember the early part of the first season was pretty good then it started getting very corny using the exact same monsters and noises from Lost in Space. I have had one question since Voyage came out... why would a research sub carry nuclear missles??:arrgh!:

I think the idea was it was a research sub in peacetime...but could double as a boomer in wartime.

My favorite sound FX from Voyage was that relentless pock-pock-pock. Disaster lover that he was, I guess Irwin Allen was a big believer in running active sonar all the time. :lol:

Yep I remember the active sonar sounds well. But don't you think that a lot of TV shows whenever a sub is involved seem to use this sound FX?

I grew up on this series - this and Lost In Space.

There's a great U-Boat episode - well, two actually, with a ghost from a WWI U-Boat. He inhabits Crane's body, which comes with the major upside that Crane gets to wear a really cool leather U-Boat captain's jacket. The ghost is known as "The Phantom."

It was tough duty being on the Seaview. Werewolves, vampires, mummies, mutated lobsters, etc.

Just got back to this one. "Why would a research submarine carry nuclear missiles?"

That's easy, silly - because the scriptwriter said so! And they needed them, didn't they? See, he was right!:rotfl:
