russedav Starman (the TV series, NOT the far inferior movie) is a wonderful rarity among shows of having a dad and his son loving and concerned with one another, sadly taboo in today's vile media cesspool obsessed with destroying the true family via pro-ven mental illness counterfeits(those its not "politically correct" to mention without censorship by hypocrites who demand First Amendment protection only for themselves), indeed and any intimate relationships outside of true marriage, civilization's bedrock, under vicious attack by so many. Dads are always depicted as fools or worse, and when dads and sons love each other, sick lying media often try to twist it into something as twisted and perverted as they are. Sadly this is why Starman had to be destroyed. It was moved among bad time slots to pretend ratings were the cause of its demise, the media being ultimately focused on lust, for power and depravity the deluded deceive themselves into thinking is being "open-minded," not ultimately money, or they'd focus on G movie moneymakers, not PG and above losers, usually badly done. I hope one day today's fools will wake up to how crucial Dads are, and the Moms standing by them, especially but not just for sons, instead of sticking narcissist heads in the sand, denying reality, reason and civilization. I had to put a dash in "pro-ven" because the blasted spellchecker kept mistakenly "correcting" it to the erroneous "proved." Computer programs are so stupid.
Gregorso I liked the way that people would expect Starman to be a jerk (because the guy who's body he copied was kind of a jerk), but he would end up inspiring hope in everyone. I was impressed with how he handled his captor, George Fox, in the next to last episode.In the motion picture, I always felt that it was wrong for Starman to get Jennie Hayden pregnant and just leave her. The TV series sort of helped to redeem that.It made sense that, as an alien, he had a completely fresh perspective on things, and thus was a very creative photographer.The stories were all set in the southwest U.S. The scene of Starman first emerging in Paul's body was cool.A unique show that appeals to lovers of peace & social justice. I remember seeing a bumper sticker after it was cancelled: "Starman will return in a moment." The show was something new under the sun.
bparker42 I remember one show with Ami Dolenz when Scott Hayden was actually attending a high school. She starred in that 80's movie with Tony Danza, "She Drives Me Crazy". She was like Christie Brinkley beautiful,as in drop-dead-gorgeous and a "dream-of-her-many-a-night-hottie" only closer to my age. Thankfully we had just gotten a VCR the year before, so I was able to watch it over and over again. I also remember that they used Huey Lewis' "The Heart of Rock and Roll" which quickly became my favorite song. It had the perfect tragic ending with Scott and his dad being forced to leave because the bad guys began to close in. I remember thinking I would not have left Ami Dolenz for any reason. But then again, my father has never truly been an alien. At least that I am aware of.
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.
