UFO "Series One"

Hi all,

I just looked at that UFO box art again, and then at the upcoming UFO
trading card release dates, and noticed that in both case, our
beloved series seems to have a new title. No longer is it simply
"UFO", but it is now "UFO Series One". Is there some "UFO Series
Two" that we don't know about? :-)

For the trading cards they usually release the card sets in a "series"
sometimes up to 120 cards, so the series referred to could just be their
fancy name for the first set of UFO cards.

Fair enough, but how do you explain the "Series One" on that DVD box
cover?!

(wondering why "UFO" would get 2 series of trading cards, while
none of the other Gerry Anderson titles appear to be...)

Perhaps something to do with there being two boxes; the second box might be
called "series 2". Daft but possible.

I think I might have a answer to this Season On and Season Two thing but its
a streach and the people doing this would have to be sort of clueless. I
not really sure about this so if I'm wrong anyone feel free to correct me. I
have noticed that in the U.S. that they start talking about second seasons of
a running TV series in January. Perhaps this is because so many get
cancelled about that time. Perhaps they started to think if they got picked
up for the rest of the year, that was a Second season? If this is the case
then perhaps this had got in the heads of execs and they now think of a
Season as being half a year. If so they might call the first 13 episode of
UFO Season One and the second 13 Season Two.
To quote another person from Alabama, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Yes - it really does look like there's a double L!!

You can almost excuse the typos and spelling mistakes on the DE
VHS covers, given that they are in a substantial body of text in
small print .. but it would be incredible if a subtitle in large
letters went out with two Ls and a Z in 'colonising'.

As I recall, there *would* have been some mistakes in the episode
titles on the Digital Entertainment VHS releases, except that
the designer ran those covers by me first and the errors were
corrected before it went to press!

Actually, James, when I first saw the show as a teenager, I thought it went
two seasons for that very reason. A weekly show usually had 13 eps a
season, so that in a year's time, you had season one in the fall, season two
in the spring, and summer for reruns. As an adult, I've realized that
Britain doesn't use that system, but it still seems strange to have so many
episodes in a season!

Most of my tapes are from the Polygram Series and my Vol. 11 tape has
the episode "Timeflash" in addition to Mindbender and The Long
Sleep. ;-)
