Salvage-1

At our last meeting, I was telling Paul (Miles) and Peggy about this TV-movie I saw as a kid. I couldn't recall the name but Andy Griffith lead a salvage mission to the moon to recover NASA stuff left behind. The plan was to sell it back on Earth. The movie spawned a short-lived TV series. They both looked at me like I was crazy (not an unusual occurrence) and said they never heard of it.

Well, I'm not crazy (at least not in this regard). The show was Salvage-1. It ran for 18 episodes in 1979. I remember loving the pilot movie but the series where they went on various salvage missions was at best so-so.

And this is somehow supposed to keep us from looking at you like you're crazy?

And did you notice that there was no actual video in that clip? Just a bunch of stills with video effects connecting them together. Seems to me that anyone with a computer and rudimentary editing skills could have put that together and thrown up a dummy page on IMDB. But then that would be. . . . crazy.
