Does anyone remember this 96-97 Nickelodeon sci-fi show? When I was introduced to Firefly, I found out that Jewel Staite (Kaylee) used to play Catalina on the first season of Space Cases. I just came home from college and found that I recorded several episodes back when it used to air, which I have been enjoying now for several hours ^_^. From what I heard, this show still airs in Canada. Too bad I live practically on the opposite end of the continent... But this is a show that needs a DVD release. Only 26 episodes. They could churn it out on one boxset.

Sigh, another show that the networks took down before it got a chance to tell its whole story. Very similar to Firefly in the respect. Plus, Jewel Staite's character plays the engineer in both shows. Hmm...

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Yeah, it sure did! Walter Emmanuel Jones as Harlan Band. I wonder if some nice Canadian could hook me up with the episodes I'm missing.

Someone uploaded rips of both seasons to MySpleen not too long ago.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

I loved this series when I was a kid. Probably lsot some of it's appeal now, but I was so mad when it got cancelled.

Yeah, that was one of the first episodes "A Day in the Life" I think. Co-creator Peter David said that Mark was promised that shooting would be over by a certain time, but they ran really late, and there are outtakes of Mark jokingly complaining by continuously calling out the time.
