This is one case where I'm 100% in for a reboot. I loved this show in the 90s and I'm still ticked it got canceled. It reminded me a lot of the Wing Commander PC games. I just hope they treat it as a proper military/war show and don't do something dumb like turn it into a teen show with kids flying the fighters.
I'm sure Chris Roberts thought the same of this series.
It was better than the Wing Commander movie that came out in the early 1999
It's being made by Disney, so I have no hope for this. They are the last people that I would want to reboot anything.
@@bubba842 Same here.
There was quite a lot of world-building with the aliens, intros and androids that could make it interesting as an adult series. It was a must-watch series at the time for me and it could even be better now with CGI and a bigger budget.
I really liked to see a reboot! The series never got a fair chance, and the fact that people still remember it over 25 years later is a testament to its quality.
Agreed! Wait.... 25 years? OMG, time flies and I'm old.
@@SteveMasonCanada yeah I still thought i was 21. Til I looked in the mirror and realised shit I'm old. Time fly's. Blink and you miss it.
@@SteveMasonCanada It's been 28 years since episode 1.
I'm in
I actually rewatched it a few years back since as a kid never actually got to watch it and it for sure holds up.
I remember this show. I loved the characters and the premise was completely unique to sci-fi at that time. It felt like a dark and gritty version of a space World War 2 where humanity wasn't always pictured in the best light. I think it felt like a kind of mix of the original Starship Troopers and the Battlestar Galactica reboot.
now imagine how borderline communist disney would do it? The whole reason it was good was that it was politically centrist, in a genre dominated by left wing thought.
"Sugar Dirt" was an amazing episode and will be one of the best sci-fi episodes of all time. SAB is a series truly ahead of its time. It truly needs a continuation of where things left off. Too bad Lee Ermey couldn't be around to do the sequel.
Sugar dirt was one of the best episodes.
The support cast was amazing. I'm not sure If I remember Lee Ermey being there. In a stretch, maybe in one of the early episodes when they were training.
@@slewone4905 R Lee was the drill instructor trainer in the pilot episode, though he wasn’t credited.
"Sugar Dirt" was indeed amazing , but my favorite was "Who Monitors the Birds?"
Cast is too old to carry it on. From where it left off.
I have a special place in my heart for this show, being a Marine Corps veteran and lover of Sci-fi, this show was off the chain. I own a copy of season one, and have watched several times. I want to see a reboot of this show, it truly was ahead of its time.
Damn I loved the grittiness of Space: Above and Beyond. I am not so sure about Disney+ claws digging into that old treasure.
The entire show would turn into a legal procedural, where the wild cards go to court and try to defend themselves against reparations against the chigs.
@@dixonhill1108 Seeing the future is a terrible burden.....
This is why I think any actual prognosticators are nuts or off themselves - to see the terrible future rolling in is just too much.
I agree, the premise was moving towards the Establishment being in the know and deciding that the rank and file - including the colonists - were expendable in order for the powerful's needs - this is not the story a powerful company like Disney likes to tell.
The aliens had given fair warning.
I would love a continuation of this. Yes, Please bring it back..... Also, Earth 2 would be an awesome reboot as well.
Earth 2! Absolutely!
We already got a reboot of Earth 2, it was called The 100 and it was pretty bad.
Oh my god Earth 2. I totally forgot about that one 😭
Hell yes I'd love to see a reboot as it deserves so much as I watched it as a kid the first time and it's always one in the back of your mind pleading for it's chance to shine again :)
i still rewatch this series about once every 3 or 4 years, loved it when i was a kid, love it now
This show has always been near and dear to my heart. I fell in love with it when it first came out while also being frustrated at Fox's handing of it. Not too many shows truly stick with me but this one had. Have it on DVD and periodically binge it. Almost never do that for anything else. To see it redone, with today's tech and story telling, would finally give us the journey that was abruptly ended previously. Always felt the reimagined Battlestar Galactica was influenced by SAAB and given how well that series went, this potentially would be no different. Never forget: In space no one can hear you scream unless it is the battle cry of the United States Marines. Oorah 5-8!
It was definitely a great show , well ahead of it's time
I really enjoyed the show back in the 90s. I would love to see what it would look like today.
When you watch a old show when you get older it dont have the same feel that it once had l
This is amazing. I loved this show. I wanted a reboot for years. Hopefully dark skies will get rebooted aswel. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
I remember these two shows airing around the same time, good days they were.
When I read “Dark Skies” my mind interpreted it as “Falling Skies.” I remember the name Dark Skies but don’t remember the show specifically. This video makes me want to pull out my Space Above and Beyond DVD set.
@@stuartbagley2586Failing Skies wasnt bad and had that tie - in to the Kennedy assassination with aliens .
dark skies? how about dark matter !
@@georgeduncan9443 dark matter was ok. Dark skies was far superior. Alien conspiracy. Set in the 60s. Aliens trying to put parasites in humans heads to control them. People in a position of power. Ahead of its time for sure. It's perfect for streaming
I was a HUGE fan of Space:Above and Beyond! This is good news. Please keep us up to date as you hear more information. I'm preparing of the worst, but hoping for the best. Thx
Man I just rewatched the entire season thanks to some dude who threw the remastered version up on TH-cam and I was so thankful. I forgot a lot of what happened. Last time I saw it I was like 15. 42 now lol. This is clearly one of the best sci-fi shows and all us Beyond fans saw BSG ripoff Beyond but we were also thankful to see a show like that get to finish.
They didn’t get a proper chance but if they did a cool reboot now the AI and nipple necks and all that stuff could be explored even more especially the Chig society and what they were all about especially given the fact that they come from Earth because a piece of earth landed on that moon and birthed the Chigs. Anyway I just hope they don’t blow up or kill of any of the main cast of the 58. I love them too much. That series finale was heart breaking. But then again that’s war which is what the show was doing. It did Band if Brothers before Band of Brothers. Some of the stories were heart breaking. Like when Nathan’s brother joins the war and he’s led by an idiot and that idiot gets everyone killed. Horrible stuff. They need to bring back Morrison though maybe as commander of the Saratoga.
Morrison was a bad ass in angriest Angel when he took on that invisible chig ship. That was an awesome episode. Anyway can you tell I love Space Above and Beyond.
I remember watching this as a child. Some of the episodes still stand out to me. Green meanies, the episode where they face the cloaking enemy ship, and the one with the enemy nursery planet/moon. Great episodes.
I even tweeted about this a year ago when someone asked about bringing a series back… YES - I want this!
Of course, you have to include an episode (like the ‘Angriest Angel’) that shows a new enemy fighter piloted by the Chiggie von Richthofen.
That was one of the best episodes in the show.
I remember this show well though if I recall it aired very late here in the UK. Like 1am or something like that. However, this is one show I would like to see revived.
I loved that show so much as a teen. I hope it comes back.
Fantastic series. Way ahead of its time and really unlucky to get canned after one year. It came at that time in the 90s when there was a slew of pretty good shows that never made it past the first year; Nowhere Man, Earth 2, Harsh Realm, Legend, VR5, Odyssey 5...
Earth 2 was also a good show that I liked.
With SBAB the obvious answer is not a reboot, but a sequel. The ward with the Chiggers has reached a bit of a stalemate as the humans reached technical and military parity with them, and the war has gone roughly cold, except for 20 years of low intensity counter insurgency ops. This would allow the show to explore the cultural and militaristic effects of decades of war on the people and soldiers. That could really hit home, like SBAB originally did for veterans of conventional conflicts.
Nah. I want war. As a kid, I loved the Chigs.
One thing to remember about the 22 episode seasons on Network TV, is that the episodes had to be 42 minutes long, not 2 minutes shorter not 2 minutes longer. This meant you ended up with episodes with messy storylines that were either 10 mins to long or 20 mins to short half the time. On streaming you can make the episode as long as you need it (within reason) 22x42min episodes =15x60min episodes.
personally I would rather 8-10 one hour episode that are extremely well done. Loved this show when it came out - but come on this is Disney - they will fucked it up, just like Halo. They had a winning show/franchise and fucked it by changing too much.
@@rianmacdonald9454Halo was made by Paramount. Nothing to do with Disney.
I kind of enjoyed it.
The essential idea of Space: Above and Beyond has all the potential for great story telling, visuals and adventure, everything it needs to be a success. Especially if they can nail an ensemble cast, it could certainly work. Personally I have no investment in previous characters, but it is always cool if the actors of major characters from the original series can get parts cast in other roles, much like Richard Hatch was recast in Battlestar Galactica.
Well, Kristen Cloke is still married to Glen Morgan, so she'd probably at least get a few cameos.
@@franciscodanconia4324 well they need someone to be the slimey ceo of the coorporation that may have started the war.
Yes, interesting to see him as a terrorist.
I forgot all about this show but I agree. It was ahead of its time for sure. And the way the stkry arc unfolded, truly by the end of the fist season I was hooked.
at least you saw it, to forget it. It suffered the curse of Fox tv shows and keep changing days it's on, so I can never figure out when to watch it. Kind of like a different sci fi show fox had that I recently heard its name. Like seconds ago.
Yes I want to see a reboot. Love the old show.
I think this is an IP that needs a second chance. If you think about the dark gritty tv that we've been getting on streaming services, a space combat show would slide right in. Sci-fi's BSG reboot is in some way an evolution of what this show was trying to do and it had a fantastic run on a network.
It would also be nice to have some of the original actors come back in different roles to give them some vindication but to allow for the new cast to shine.
All on board for this! My brother and I loved Space Above and Beyond when they first televised it and were really disappointed when they canceled it especially after the ending that left so many plot threads hanging. And I agree, it needs to be a reimagining rather than a continuation since it won't appeal to a wider audience if it has to require people to know what happened in the obscure original series. With a good production budget, modern CGI, the original creators on board, and the current appreciation for grittier sci-fi this could be a real sleeper hit nowadays especially with current global geopolitical tensions.
I loved this series when it was on, and as a sci-fi geek, I appreciated a lot of original ideas that made it into production, like the cockpits that detached from the Hammerhead fighters for crew ingress and egress. It was also a nice touch that R. Lee Ermey had a cameo in the first episode. He is missed by many!
The detaching cockpits stuff didn't seem like a good idea, so much of what would need to be worked on would be in the parts that were, what, always in vacuum? Seems like it was just a way to have smaller sets. And when you look at the flight deck whatever they called it, those cockpits were way too close together to just drop into place!
The original series, is one of my faves, that I'm currently watching again, (for the umpteenth time). Just watched Who Monitors the Birds, again! Still great. Still a pleasure to watch.
I hope they actually do this, I loved this show and was mad when they cancelled it.
So many things about this show made such a lasting impression on me - the whole idea of the Silicates being 'freed' by the single line "take a chance" was kind of brilliant and created a secondary set of antagonists that could never be one dimensional.
I am 100% onboard with this!! One of my favorite shows - which I'm currently re-watching.
If there are 2 shows that I want back, it’s Space A&B and the English series U.F.O.
A new Re-imagination of Space: Above and Beyond would be Great to see in a Streaming Service and would probably give it life beyond 4 or 5 seasons into probably 7 Season of 10 episodes each.
100% a trailblazer and ahead of its time. I agree with you, my first reaction wouldn't be to see a reboot - but I think the writers and the story-universe deserves a good run at a few seasons. So long as it isn't cancelled mid-way through!
I LOVED Space Above & Beyond! I think my favorite episode was 'Who monitors the birds?' It gave great backstory on and insight into Hawkes' character, and had hardly any dialogue, but had some powerful moments. Esp. that WW I German/Brit Christmas Eve vibe where Hawkes and the Chig soldier share a moment where they realize they're not so different - and give each other gifts. Hawke watches the Chig watch the birds flying overhead and that feeling comes again. Of course the inevitable happens and Hawke kills him in the end. I found it such a tragic, though provoking episode. I hated that it only got 1 season, I wanted to know more about the Chig, more about their breeding planet why they kept their eggs in caves, why they declared war. So many questions and no answers. This show was so good.
I saw the series when it came out and I don't think I thought much of it. I am rewatching the series after you mentioned it , I am really enjoying it .🖐
Loved that show! Bring it on!!!!
This show was my jam in the 90s, along with TNG, and B5. Fox did it a HUGE disservice by dropping it into the Friday night death slot and not supporting it beyond minimal marketing. If this is on Disney+, it'll have a much larger audience than it had before and the original fans would definitely flock to it anew. This is the perfect post Expanse show for us sci-fi fans.
Heck yeah brother! The way the original show ended was frustrating. The reason given was that the producers needed to focus on Millenium. The last episode ...Just the 2 guys staring at each other on their bunks after a really bad day was intense. Then it was cancelled. Though you knew the end was neigh when they moved it to a 7pm slot on a sunday after the NFL on FOX and sometimes the show would air and other times it wouldn't.
My dream would come true with this reboot. Space Above and Beyond was a phenomenal show which i really loved.
I just subscribed just because you are literally the first channel to report on SAaB and a possible reboot!!! Very excited. I loved the show, but it had some flaws, being a 90s network show and of course it got cut too short. It is really a show that lends itself to a reboot, as most of the original story wasn't told and it could have a decent impact these days. It not being a huge name might also open up possibilities for going into some new directions, way less risk ob backlash than SW or ST. Like BSG before it, you have a fairly free hand to work with it. So really hoping this happens
I’d absolutely give it a shot. I still remember the Von Rictoven episode from the original
Yes! Would love to see it come back. Really was ahead of its time.
I want a reboot now! I absolutely loved this show. I still have season 1 on DVD's somewhere. I need to find them, dust them off and watch again.
Please yes immediately!!!! Tc McQueen and vanson were my favorites!!!!
100% behind this, it was a show that really sparked my imagination as a kid!!!
I'm part of this shows problem, I left active service in 91 and I have always been a rabid Sci-Fi freak. For what ever reason though I never watched even a single episode of this show when it aired. I didn't even become aware of it until R Lee Ermey passed from our ranks. After watching it (and I did so in the course of a single weekend) I kind of love it. There are some issue I have but they are all easily corrected. The main pull for me is the show for the most part gets the synergy of Marines pretty spot on. That's very hard to do, the Pacific did this as well. I'm sure most of that came from Dale Dye and I'm not sure if they could capture that level of Marine-ness again without the right person consulting, I don't know if Dale is still actively consulting on films but he was very good at that job. I would love to see how the rest of the series plays out but it will be hard to properly capture what the original had and that was the embodiment of the Marine Corps spirit.
I know we are a prideful bunch and we have a bit of a swagger and that's what comes across in most productions, but this show somehow managed show the actual brotherhood we share in a way that was both present and subtle. I know after the past 20 years or so of conflict that those that came after me endured, a show like this they would devour if only they get the quiet parts just right.
I do hope this gets picked back up and I pray that they have good people consulting on it. The stories by themselves were great but the characters and their interactions and that special something that screams Marines is what seals the deal.
For any devils reading this Semper Fi
I sure hope so. That sure had a lot of good things going for it. A couple things were a little predictable, but it was still good.
yes please bring it back i alway's love it was a good series i was so angry when it had stopped now if i come across 1 of the episodes on youtube i still watch it
I would love to see this but I hope they take advantage of the improvements in VFX and SFX. Last time costs prevented the flight deck, hence the cockpits sinking into the floor.
This show made a lasting impact in my memory, despite it being a mess on FOX. I’ve been waiting for an announcement like this.
I finally was able to watch all the episodes of the series - some I saw again some I saw for the first time and it filled in some gaps in my memory. It would totally work as a show that can be rebooted because the first series lasted only a season and even most people like me who watched it forgot a lot of stuff about so a reboot would not offend anyone.
For me, Space above and beyond was the best thing on tv at the time. But I believe Farscape won out over it. Couldn't believe it when it went off air. 100% reboot.
I would love the reboot. Make Vanssen or Hawkes a Colonel: and McQueen a Rear Admiral.
I really loved this series, its was great sci-fi, the cast was amazing an op mystical enemy. So would absolutly be on board for a reboot.
I just hope they do more with the international nature of the show, if it comes back. We only really saw the US space fleet, but what about the space forces of all the other nations?
100% YES! Absolutely deserves a reboot. I hope the original cast can be brought on in some manner, whether they are older now and the war rages on, or some new character role.
I’ve seen a lot of shows on Netflix and this would be a good fit for a reboot for any streaming service to pick up on
I am so for a reboot on this series! I'd also love to see Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda get another shot!
That was another underrated show that was fantastic and had a unique premise.
The details were great! Not only did the main cast have nose art on their fighters, so did one of the enemy. Not sure of the episode, but the Red Baron was mentioned.
My wife loved this show and always wondered way it went off. Yes I would like to see a reboot.
I agree a reboot would be great. Love the series the first time. Wish it could have kept going.
If Wong and Morgan are involved, that’s GREAT. That show got cancelled because Fox kept changing the time slot finally settling on going up against 60 Minutes in the US. Here’s to hoping.
I just watched it a few weeks ago. It was great, good stories. It ended just as it was about to get much better with the interesting twist at the end.
I have this on DVD and watch it still. I would be thrilled if they did it and did it right. Are any of the cast still around? I'm sure they survived the crash :)
Absolutely want a reboot. Loved the first one and wish it had continued.
Personally, I think S.A.A.B. doesn't need a reimagining: just a reboot with new cast.
Babylon 5: the same.
Both series had excellent special effects/stories (except for the Zarg in just 1 episode of B5.)
And S.A.A.B. ended in an infuriating cliffhanger that screamed for at least 1 more episode.
OMG this would be amazing! The show was so amazing and left off on an epic cliffhanger!
If this is being revived/rebooted then hopefully it will do it justice - it was criminally underrated and cut short way before its time. I also felt that so called reimagined Galactica (2003) basically ripped off Space Above and Beyond (as well as The Terminator, Blade Runner and Westworld 1973) and was never a bonafide reboot of Battlestar Galactica (as envisioned by Glen A Larson). Anyway, Space Above and Beyond had so much potential and I was also wondering what happened to the Vansen and co after the season finale + the revelation that the Chigs perhaps did originate from Earth (?) along with so much unrealized lore that hopefully can be brought back in some form or other with a reboot. 🤔😉🤩😎💪👏🤞✌️👍
Absolutely, a reboot of this series would be amazing if done right. You have the technology now for building out your Universe in a more realistic way as far as visuals are concerned. If the writers are good and they write good dialogue good scenarios then finding good actors is should not be a problem. As long as they allow the people who love the show to write the show and direct the show and produced the show and leave the chair sitting people pushing pencil writing paperwork people off the set out of the production room then they should do fine. But if you've never looked at the series or you've never had any idea of what this series is about then you should not have anything to do with the production of the series you should just hand over the paychecks and let the people do what they need to do and stay out of it. I know that's probably an easy thing for me to say being that I don't have any money so I'm not going to be one of the investors but as a fan who would be helping you to regain that money back from your investment I would say if you're an investor and you don't have any idea what they're doing keep it that way and just sit back and reap the rewards. But hey I could be wrong...
If the Reimagined BSG is a indicator I think Space and Above would do good with todays tech.
As recent remakes have shown... The current people in charge of productions at Disney and elsewhere are not interested in making good shows that honor and stay true to their origins. They're more interested in destroying anything and everything they can get their hands on and insulting the fans who are upset by this destruction. I loved Space Above and Beyond back when it aired. It got no sales push after it aired either... I'm pretty sure the DVDs I have of it are bootlegs... I would hate to see Space Above and Beyond receive the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Wheel of time, Willow, or Velma treatment. Only 2 of those trash fires are Disney... but the pattern of destruction is across all media companies. The best thing that could happen to Space Above and Beyond is be delayed until the people who killed the above IPs are gone.
Yes! SAAB, was one of my favorite shows! I don't like the idea of choosing between this and Firefly, but I would choose SAAB. It would fit well in current times.
I have only now had this come up & only had your channel appear over the last few months.
I really do hope they continue from where they left off, with consideration to the time between, eg: creating a gap of 1 generation to allow for new cast players + any from the original who are still alive & willing to resume their role 30 years on.
It was popular in Australia, as are most SciFi, but these days airing of anything not in the "reality" or "competition" genres gets relegated to viewing times changing every week &/or in non peak viewing times late at night to predawn, when few can keep their eyes open enough to enjoy any episode in full. Usually, after a month, they are replaced with "shopping" programs, mostly from America, some with Australian voice over in parts, such as phone number & price in "X" number of easy payments, etc.
The networks are trying to eliminate "free TV" & get people to subscribe if they want to view good programs.
i just re-watched the season last month. amazing show. would love to see a reboot.
If Wong & Morgan go with this, I would be happy with whatever they came back with. I don't think this show 'failed' the first time, it never got a fair chance.
"Ahead of it's time?" Yes. I agree. I also heard when it was initially cancelled the reason was that they didn't rush the store to reveal more about the Chigs, and FOX wanted to be able to fully merchandise the show. So since the producers didn't want to let FOX start making a LOT Of toys, they got the boot.
Back then Fox was incapable of marketing anything sci fi correctly other than X-Files. They cancelled Beyond, screwed up Sliders, and then just dumped Firefly episodes in a heap on the network.
This is really exciting!! I agree it would do well as a streaming service and had a lot of potential as a more realistic, grounded military sci fi show.
I'd love to see the show return! Despite what's going on with streaming and entertainment these days, SAAB would serve a niche audience and rope in people who don't want to see anything far too wacky in terms of sci-fi. We get loads of wacky scifi from the superhero genre already so this may be a good palate cleanser.
As long as the production studio keeps the expectations reasonable (don't set out to make a nonsensically overblown budget heavy show and leave the original duo alone) we ought to do well.
I loved this show, it was so underrated.
I love this show. It had some great ideas and a few really excellent episodes. I would love to see this get a proper reboot.
We need to push to get this show going again! It was ahead of its time and given the conflicts we have going now and the new tech in-play... They could expose audiences to modern warfare in a futuristic setting while also theorizing what future warfare would look like in a interstallar battlefield.
The Angriest Angel is the best episode.
However, FireFly is ALSO epic!
Christ I hope they do a reboot of this it was a great show and definitely ahead of it's time.
Yes space above and beyond needs to come back thanks jay
I'd watch it...faithfully...loved it's subtle humor tinged with darkness and hope
Space AAB has to come back! It was the most underrated show on TV!
A wonderful show! Got better as it progressed.
I watched the original series, and was very disappointed when it was cancelled. Would totally support a re-do!
I will be watching it if it becomes a reality. It was a favorite show of mine.
Bring it! I loved the original and would watch this again!
Loved tat show. Please bring it back.
I think this is a great show to reboot! It's hard for me to imagine a Firefly or B5 reboot simply because the magic of those shows came from the charisma of the leads and the writing staff they had. Try to reboot these and you miss some of what made them essential. Don't get me wrong, I loved the original Space actors. But the concept for Space doesn't seem like it necessarily have to be linked to those specific characters. It was always a grunt's eye view of a war in space. You could focus on another squadron and characters and give those actors and writers a chance to take things in new direction, rather than trying to imitate the old. I also love that Morgan and Wong may be involved. I'd love to see what the rest of their story was, especially now that viewer interests have caught up to where Space was in the 90's.
Loved the original and would really love to see a reboot by the same folks
Ooh Rah! Hopefully this one gets some more traction and becomes a reality!
S:AAB was one of my favorites. I bought it on DVD. Totally in on a reboot.
Space above and beyond it was a good little sci-fi show. I admit I didn’t watch it when it was originally airing, but I got the DVD series set a few years ago.
Space Above & Beyond is E P I C!
F*CK YES!!! Please please please please please!!! I want Space above and beyond!!! It was way too short. I want more. More! MORE!!!
I was so sad when it was cancelled. I'm all for a reboot as well.
I seriously hope this gets made. I loved the original show.
They left the original series on a cliffhanger, so let's just press play! I looked at it again recently...
