“The 60’s were a time of exploration and adventure in Television, and that’s exactly where Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea took us. Each week revealed something that Jacques Cousteau couldn’t…and that was that undersea myth and legend was real! Or so we thought…
And although cars were my thing, the Seaview Submarine was a kind of car that could take all your friends and then some! I worked on a show called seaQuest many years ago, (way after Voyage,) but it never recaptured the essence of like we’d seen it before. Once again Hollywood…we want something fresh.
My favourite thing was to wear the shirt of the show while I was watching. And with 5 kids in our family, Voyage was a hit each week, the sea became an adventurous and sometimes frightening playground. We lived in Palos Verdes at the time (by the sea) and it was everything I could do to get down to the water and let my mind wonder. I’ve included a couple of concepts I did from seaQuest here…”
