One of my favorite television shows of the 1960s was Voyage To The Bottom of the Sea.
It was such a favorite that I was determined to build a model of the show's submarine Seaview even with a cracked wrist. I succeeded!
From Classic Retrovision Milestones on Facebook:
58 years ago today, September 14, 1964, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea premiered. A television series based on the 1961 film of the same name. Both were created by Irwin Allen, which enabled the movie's sets, costumes, props, special effects models, and sometimes footage, to be used in the production of the television series. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was the first of Irwin Allen's four science fiction television series as well as the longest running. The show's main theme was underwater adventure.
Voyage was broadcast on ABC from September 14, 1964 to March 31, 1968, and was the decade's longest-running American science fiction television series with continuing characters. The 110 episodes produced included 32 shot in black and white (1964–65), and 78 filmed in color (1965–68). The first two seasons took place in the then future of the 1970s. The final two seasons took place in the 1980s. The show starred Richard Basehart and David Hedison.

I met David Hedison at the April 2010 Monsterpalooza show in Burbank. I also earlier interviewed him for G-FAN magazine. He felt that the first two seasons were the best ones.
