Even most American TV shows in the 1960's like Lost in Space had mostly flashing lights, rubber suits, shaking cameras, and smoke puffs.


Star Trek did a little bit better than that.

Anyway, TV budgets have never been as high as A-list movie budgets. It's just that today visual effects are cheaper. So today's shows look a lot more polished than even big budget old movies like Ghostbusters or even the first Alien movie.

And Qui Gon Jin (sp?) in the very bad, yet not as bad the next two, first SW prequel uses a Gillette women's razor as a cell phone/radio. Old ideas die hard :P

How about that, but you are correct.

I thought everyone knew. Not when the movie was just released (and I laughed when I saw that prop), but later on.
