Aquaman fans: check "Man from Atlantis" (1977-1978) starring Patrick Duffy - Blu-ray Forum

... since I was a kid, I've been a huge - and I say HUGE - fan of Patrick Duffy's Man from Atlantis TV series. Who remembers that? Of course, I also loved Aquaman's comic books.

"Man from Atlantis" was a very bizarre, psychotronic and brilliant series, sort of "Star Trek underwater" with a memorable and ultra-cool amphibian superhero as lead. Mark Harris (the titular Man from Atlantis) is one of the greatest sci-fi characters ever depicted on the small screen.

The series was campy (low budget), but in a very good way. It felt like Twilight Zone in the oceans, lots of alternate dimensions involved.

From WIKI:

"Man from Atlantis[a] is an American science fiction television series that ran for 13 episodes on the NBC network during the 1977–78 season, following four television films that had aired earlier in 1977.[1] Ratings success by these movies led to the commissioning of a weekly series for the 1977–78 season.[2]"

"On July 26, 2011, Warner Bros. released Man from Atlantis: The Complete TV Movies Collection, featuring all four television films, as well as Man from Atlantis — The Complete Television Series for Region 1 DVD release via their Warner Archive Collection. These are manufactured-on-demand (MOD) releases, available on Warner's online store or Amazon and only in the United States. All movies and episodes are also available on multiple streaming services.[8]"

NOTE: it has been scanned at 4K, as one inside source revealed me eons ago.
