Genesis II and Strange New World - March 23, 1973

Mar 23, 2022

Why let a good idea for a TV series languish if it doesn't get picked up the first time? Or the second time? That's what happened as Gene Roddenberry's "Genesis II" premiered on this day in 1973, then again with "Planet Earth" and again with "Strange New World." That whole saga is on today's Sci-Fi 5.

Follow Sci-Fi 5 for your daily dose of science-fiction history.
