I saw "Logan's run" (the movie) yesterday and it reminds me of this TV series I used to watch a long time ago.The movie which I saw in a movie theater drastically wandered from the novel:for instance the part of sandman Francis would amaze people who only know the movies and the TV series.The TV episodes kept only Jessica,Logan and Francis and added REM ,a robot (but a human one ,not the nasty robot who freezes the fugitives).It roughly followed the pattern of "the fugitive" of the sixties ,although Francis did not appear in all the episodes.My favorite one was based on "the most dangerous game" and featured German actor Horst Buchholz as the hunter,Jessica and Logan being the preys.Unlike the movie,neither Jessica nor Logan showed love feelings and when REM hinted at it ,the heroine simply answered: "He's only a friend" .Correct me if I'm wrong ,but the last episode was not really an "end " :they probably intended to make more episodes.They did not,and it was too bad.

This film was one of my all time favorites. My grandfather Hugh Benson was the Associate producer of this film. It was his first ever Accadamy award winner. It won for best special effects and is considered the film that lead the way for the Star Wars special effects. My favorite part of the movie was the fact that my grandfather always used something about his family in all of his films. In the beginning of logan's run, when everyone is headed into the first carousel. It is said that it is the carousel for Capercorn 15. (January 15) My birthday. Pretty cool,huh? Hugh Benson passed away in October of 1999. He is missed dearly.Jud Morris Grandson of Hugh Benson

This could have been one of the finest science fiction show's of the seventies if it had been allowed to stay on longer and allowed the characters to develop. Gregory Harrison was perfect as Logan and Heather Menzies was great as Jessica. Also, Donald Moffat was great as the android Rem. Too bad this show was bounced around all over the schedule. I would have loved to have seen them encounter all sorts of societies in the post-apocalyptic world of this show.

I didn't watch the Logan's Run tv series during it's original run, I actually watched it after I saw the 'Logan's Run' movie (feature film) on the TNT Network (USA): One of Ted Turner's networks. Luckily I taped them on HiFi-VHS SP tape speed and cherish them. I was aired on TNT less than five years ago but I bet never again. I remember hearing about the tv series it being cancelled due to too much Violence according to the 70's censors. I think Gregory Harrison and Heather Menzies was a great pair and the show was great. The beautiful Melody Anderson was in a episode(Manimal tv series star). REM was a great character and a cool idea. One of Heather Menzies relatives was in the classic 'Things to Come' movie. --- Great tv series: A++++++++++++
