Reviews

Travis Maxson Although we are talking about aliens/scifi and the naivety of the culturistic past, Starman was 'good TV'. If you are honest with yourself, TV today is about CGI, forced action, demons, witches, werewolves and a plethora of crime based spoofs. This is what has captivated the TV viewers of today... I realize that I am from a different era, however I have the option to watch all that stuff too. I choose not to. Not always because of the questionable content that the TV shows have, but the commercial content that goes along with it. Don't you realize that crime TV is laced with commercials that encourage questionable activities, like just do it, drinking alcohol and commercials that totally disregard your health? I do not remember the commercials of yesteryear for Starman the TV series, but I do know that the commercials of today are far from being those of 1986. Starman should be an example to us that we should be conscience of our actions, we should be eager to help others that are in need and willing to do that right thing; even if that means to accept the consequences. A good TV company could resurrect the STARMAN series simply by pointing out the needs of society that are destroying us today.
FireKnight70 Hey everyone...Just read an article online saying STARMAN the TV show is finally going to be released on DVD. I wrote this to let dedicated fans know! The DVD is coming out April 3, 2012. It's being released by Sony and you will only be able to get it via online (will not be sold in stores). Follow the link below for more details.I just wanted to let everyone know as we have been waiting so long for this DVD !!! I'm sure you will have a big smile on your face as I did when I first read this! Enjoy !!! :D http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Starman-The-Complete-Series/16555
Nancy Morris The official "Fan Club", Spotlight Starman International, is still alive and well. And it's Free!If you are a fan of the movie and the TV Show - do a search for the website.When the series was canceled, we held major conventions at least once a year and there were many local 'mini-cons' held in different areas in the country. Including a major convention where we went to Meteor Crator, in Arizona (where Starman met his ship at the end of the movie).Quite a few pieces of fan fiction and several music videos that have been made. There is also information about pending DVD's of the episodes.Blue Lights!!
mattkratz This show picks up 14 years after the movie left off. The alien returns to earth to find the woman he had met during the movie and the child he had fathered. He finds the son, now a teenager, and together they search for the mother, while being hounded by a government agent. In the movie, the woman helped Starman (who apparantly had no corporal form of his own and assumes the body of a photographer who has just died in a helicopter accident in the show) learn about earth customs; in the tv show, the son does the same.All in all, I thought this was a decent television show and a worthy companion to one of my favorite movies of all time.
