Space Academy - Seeker and FX

[Glazy]

I never seen any episodes of Space Academy as a kid,I used to watch Jason of Star Command though. Both shows made by Filmation in 1977 and 1979 used the same sets and some of the same miniatures,which were built by crew members Paul Huston,Jonathan Seay and David Jones all from ILM who'd not long before finished Star Wars. One of the main ships was The Seeker which used the same nose section as the main vehicle from Ark 2,also by Filmation. The main body of the ship was a section of the Airfix Saturn V rocket, the same parts used on the Y-Wings engines in Star Wars I always thought this was a cool little ship and there's a great studio scale kit available by James Small which he gave to some of the shows original crew as gifts !

I remember that show. That first screen cap image, as I recall, was some evil alien warship. I remember only watching it for the effects - the show was not all that entertaining.

The show like all Filmation shows had a moral,a lesson which the characters learned !! What I learned was Maggie Cooper as Lt. Adrian was HOT !!
