	Just one season prior to the 78-79 year on television, the excitement was all about such new shows as Man From Atlantis -in which newcomer Patrick Duffy played a lost stranger from the deep, beached among us curious land-creatures. There was the pormising television adaptation of Logan's Run, from the fairly successful movie from the better book by Nolan and Johnson. Wonder Woman, a good idea struggling from a viable time slot, moved from ABC to CBS and underwent an updating, though still deaturing Lynda Carter as the famous Amazon...
	...Some old favorites were scheduled to reapper, Project U.F.O. was one of the few NBC shows of the previous season to survive; it was due back with a higher budget and some stream-lining to make it even more irresistable. We'd have the comic-book successes from the previous season -The Incredible Hulk, Wonder Woman, an occasional episode of Spider-Man plus a few new pilots with consultants from Marvel Comics. England would send us The New Avengers; ghost-story devotees woudl have The Next Step Beyond...
...Wonder Woman, with Lynda Carter as the dazzling Amazon, flourished -with its combination oj James Bond villains, visiting aliens and Bionic Woman high jumps.
In a loving nod to SF fandom, one Wonder Woman episode involved a chase to save the human race, naturally, though the throngs attending a science-fiction convention -where the costume competition was being MC'd bt Bill Malone's famous replica of Forbidden Planet's Robby the Robot. Unfortunately, after CBS re-evaluated the ratings Wonder Woman was cancelled -but it has been sold for syndication...
...Hardly a day goes by, any-where in America, without some good sceince fiction on television. It seems that anything good enough to make it through two frist-run seasons will likely run forever in syndication. Science fiction accumulates...
How does the 1978-79 season stack up? There wasn't enough good sceince fiction. How could there ever be? ...not bad. Not bad.
