Never saw this in my childhood, but definitely a good show for its time! Too bad first season is all they have and they never bothered completing it to the conclusion with the second or any other seasons needed to reach the final conclusion where they find their way home (or some other interesting conclusion)!
Stumbled onto this show earlier tonight... totally forgot all about this one! This was the only episode I ever recall seeing, and the only part I remembered was the kid getting arrested for taking his shirt off, and the slave auction. I think I was in kindergarten when I saw it. Man so many things from back then seemed perfectly fine but just seem awful now after 30-40 years haha
27:40 Is Chase aka Tony O'dell without a shirt. I would have stood at attention every time Jonna Lee stood in profile. She very beautiful. I had hope that she would have been in more movie's or series she has everything going for her. She could have fill the shoes of Loni Anderson, Lynda Carter and Pamela Anderson or Adrienne Barbeau of course the same goes for Samantha Fox.
It’s funny how Trace recently went through a whole military training and was one of the top 3 but he can’t handle weight training with famales. Women truly are the stronger species lol

37 years later after this episode airs, some of this discrimination against men seems to be coming true decades later. Also, this episode reminds me of an episode of Sliders that aired in the late 1990s 12 years later where there was a parallel universe where females ruled and men were second class citizens also.
sci fi stories are often redone by other shows. Look at star trek TOS(the world is hollow) and the Orville has the same story(if the stars should appear).
The biggest question I have with this series is: where the heck do these folks get their money? They always seem to show up in each new sector in nice clean close with the cash for food and housing. Or is this alternate universe one where credit is generously extended to complete strangers?
This was the only episode I remember from when I was a kid but I remember a scene inside the store, talking to a guy stocking the shelves with the products (cans, I think) in plain white packaging. He's asked what's inside and he says something like "Meat" Asked what kind he simply says, "good meat." It was something along those lines. I was 10 when I saw this and I remember nothing but this episode of gender role reversal and that shelf stocking scene that's not in this episode. Maybe I'm misremembering that scene from another show. I didn't remember the title either, stumbled upon this to great delight.
@@honeydays Hi Heather 😊 Thanks for the info. I really should have began at the beginning. This was the only episode I watched as it was the only one I thought I remembered with the women being the more dominant in this episode. I have some vague memory of a similar episode in Sliders so I thought I just misremembered and criss-crossed the episodes in my memory. Glad to know there's more observant people than myself out there roaming the endless plains of TH-cam.
Funny! When I was a kid in the mid 70's. I remember my dad buying generic beer. It was a white can that just said BEER in big letters on the outside. Just like on this show.
This reminds me of a town I use to live in.....well not as extreme but close enough. Independence kansas most women make the men stay home and be/act like housewives
The series ended short, so I am sure they didn't. But if the way the last six episodes are an indication, it is best we didn't get them back on Earth. We have all the dumb people in movies and TV shows that we need. One stupid mistake after another is how they got to this point.
What is most curious to me is a story about a matriarchal society written by all men and directed by a man the patriarchal overtones are still there but it is a clear commentary on how men treat women. #still
8:00 - '80s written all over it. 19:05 - "But that was hundreds of years ago. How can we be blamed for something that a small group of men did before we were even born?" - Welcome to the Woke Generation. 41:58 - So they left with none of the money those kids made singing rock 'n roll? Did they not think that having some with them might help smooth over problems that they might encounter?
Reverse sexism...though a little overdone and cartoonish. However, this episode actually comes closer to the days of Jesus Christ when women were possessions and sold into marriage by their fathers and were even traded on amongst men...and this was a regular accepted lifestyle...witnessed by Jesus no less, but the ill reasoning behind using women that way is not mentioned as forbidden in the Bible yet it is told of as the actual nature of life during that time period. In present times that way of life making women totally submissive to men is a favored way of life amongst many religions and even republicans and conservatives. Much more progression in society is needed to sustain equal rights for all people...and we are strongly moving in that direction, though slowly.
This was my favorite episode of the series. So happy to find it on TH-cam.
I'd be happy living there. No wars if females where in charge on a global scale.

I love this show and it could work today..
Oh wow, @8:30, the Doublemint twins!
The longer I live the weireder the world gets.. no joke
The show came out in 1985 o _ o
Just realized woman at job placement counselor is Linda Hoy!!! I worked with her back in the late 90s!! Such a sweetheart!! ❤️
I love this episode.

watching these again thanks to Jose, I am struck by how much it may have informed Sliders... the different social norms in each parallel world.

"I understand. You're Progressives"
How prescient.
There is an episode from Star Trek TNG's first season called Angel One which has a very similar premise to this one.
That's the charmed house!
The gender patrol woman that keeps putting her on hold is Kellye Nakahara nurse Kelly on MASH.
The only reason I ever watched this show was the entertainment value and Jonna lee. What can I say, I was a health young man.
She was en fuego...
ok I'll say it first... Charmed house! :)
same exact plot of Gene Roddenberry's PLANET EARTH with John Saxon
17:09 Roderick Taylor (a.k.a Rod Falconer), producer of the series. ;-)
How can something like this exist in 1985. I'm captivated
Wonderful, thanks.

Remember watching this episode back in 1985. My balls dropped right around 27:40

Well at least you are.
This is a satire on what is happening now!
Except the women were at least hot and pretty, nowadays not so much.

Guess that holds true in any parallel world.

The casualty rate expected for the invasion of Japan was the cause of it, the Atomic bombs saved us.
“Men er *definitely* second -class citizens.
- No, it’s lower than that. It’s like they’re a separate race, or something.”
Curious phrasing.
Just from a time when people told it like it was and weren't infected with P.C bull.
@@LandersWorkshop P.C. bull???

Sliders was kind of the same way, the other issue is how do these places speak English no accent.
Is this a documentary of College campuses?

An episode were women rule. How wonder woman.
It is true, that is the location of the home building from CHARMED !
so far in my life and i see this today . what the fuck !
Midget servant! Hehe
do they get home

Why didn't this series survive after 8 episodes???? It is far superior to the "woke" garbage that is on network TV today...
WOW, Elaine Giftos as a " baddie "? That was some strange casting/very unusual part for her.
DVD would be nice to clear up the video

So, you buy into reverse genderism?

Yet I know the truth is kept from us,

1985
yeah, those founding fathers and crazy idea's, right camper,
American feminists and the me too movement!
This is a reflection of what our country is becoming. Sad.
None of these men have any balls!
I'm so glad that feminist propaganda was in Hollywood back in the day
let this be a warning....for every man.
23:51 I think Roseanne Barr needs a new career. She looks bored shitless.
That's actually Kellye Nakahara; she also played Lt. Yamato in M*A*S*H.

You really dont know what you are talking about this says more about the me too movement atitude towards men.
Accurate
Feminist hell.
