US Viewers -- did you see TIMELASH in 1972 - 73?

Marc Martin

Hi all,

There was a comment today on the Fanderson Yahoo group, repeating
something that was said in STARLOG magazine #5 -- that TIMELASH was not
shown during UFO's initial 1972 - 73 run in the US. My opinion is that
this is false, based on the TV GUIDE listings and advertisements during
the initial run, which clearly indicate that TIMELASH was intended to be
broadcast, both during the "new" and "rerun" broadcasts. However, my
memory is not good enough to recall if I saw TIMELASH during 1972 - 73,
or if I merely saw it during syndicated repeats in 1974 - 78.

I'm curious, do any US viewers here recall that they *definitely* saw
TIMELASH during the initial 1972 - 73 run?

Thanks,

Marc

Mark, I _definitely_ saw TIMELASH in the new, original run '72-'73. I was a
big go-kart fanatic then, and the kart chase left an indelible impression a
then 13 year old. ;-)



Was living on Long Island/New York. watched on CBS/Channel 2.

I saw Timelash during the initial 1972-1973 run on the CBS affiliate in the San Francisco area.

I do recall seeing this.
I lived in New England - Boston area. They moved UFO to late night, even without a schedule.
One time Sub-smash was on, late night, I remember this because we were watching the 10 Commandments and the tv in the kitchen was on and my brother was watching UFO.
Then the next year we lived in florida and UFO was on there also.

Yes, Marc I did see Timelash when UFO was originally shown in the US in the 1972-1973 run.
Perhaps as the show was shown in syndication with each TV station that brought it making its own rules about what they would and would not show in their broadcast area that caused the problem when say the station in New York City which I think I heard was the CBS owned one did not run it.

Except that Michael Blake said yesterday that he remembers watching it
on the New York station in 1972 - 73... :-)

But yes, it certainly is possible that there were some US stations that
refused to show TIMELASH, but I'm pretty sure that for most part it
was shown.

Yes, saw Michael Blake's reply after I saw yours OOPs<g>! Well the only other answer other than the person writing the story making it up is that they sort of combined facts of the British showing or rather not showing Timelash with the rather spotty showing of UFO in some cities here.

Why would they not run it? I don't remember anything controversial about, at least not in my eyes.

CBS station in New York is not only a CBS owned station, but is CBS.

Supposedly, the controversy was concerning Straker injecting himself
with "drugs".

One would think that THE LONG SLEEP would be the more objectionable
"drug" episode.

Re: US Viewers -- did you see TIMELASH in 1972 - 73?

Bruce Sherman
just for reference, look at the programming on CBS back then
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972%E2%80%9373_United_States_network_television_schedule

One of the programs shown back there was Medical Center. I remember this controversy and looked it up, to compare about UFO and drug use.

In 1975, Robert Reed (Brady Bunch father) played a doctor who wanted to undergo a sex change operation. Remember, this was 1975, and it wasn't known that Robert Reed was homosexual at the time.

Also shown at this time was All in the Family. Archie Bunker said things on prime time television that is still not said in syndication 30+ years later. His comments are removed.

So to say they CBS didn't want to play the episode because they felt Straker injecting himself with medicine to be confused with a drug abuser? I find it hard to believe.

I only remember seeing it once it hit syndication here in NY, independent WOR Channel 9

THE OTHER reason I'm sure I saw TIMELASH in the original airing. was during
the first run it was predictable when on channel 2/CBS, Saturday early
evening (as I recall), and I didn't need TV Guide to make sure I caught an
episode. when it went into re-runs and moved to local NY stations (can't
remember which stations, but, recall no longer on CBS and on in the
after-school slots), my mother knew to hand me the new TV Guides and I would
search them for UFO listings and episode descriptions. _and_ TIMELASH was an
episode I _did not_ want to miss (also, MINDBENDER). THEREFORE, I must have
seen it earlier. I'm _pretty darn sure_ of this. but, I'm 50 years old and
have run thousands-of-gallons of Diet Coke through my body, so, _who knows_
the effects on the synapses/neurons.



ANYBODY from down-state New York remember it differently?!



As a 13/14 year old boy, UFO both thrilled me _and_ shook-me-up. it left an
imprint on my personal timeline. ;-)

Re: US Viewers -- did you see TIMELASH in 1972 - 73?

twonky
Timelash was shown in Duluth Minnesota on November 14, 1972 at 6:30 pm...reported AND verified by my friend (and UFO expert Brad Ulvila. He watched iton that day.

AND according to newspaper TV listings: on Monday October 23rd 1972 at 7pm on WGN Channel 9 in Chicago Illinois...

also Cleveland Ohio (WEWS Channel 5) Sunday December 17th 1972 at 7pm...

and Channel 13 KLBK CBS Lubbock Texas 7:30pm Saturday October 14th 1972 (I believe that is the exact date)...

The description in newspapers at the time:
U.F.O. "Timelash" Time stops still and Commander Straker runs amok: A lot can
happen in a fraction of a second!

I also remember seeing it in South Florida in 1972 or 1973...just can't verify the exact date or station.

So there you have it.
