Some of them didn't last too long, and some we wish would come back. In the 1970s, there were tons of shows about aliens and outer space, especially after Star Wars became so popular! 1977, in particular, saw a huge boom in sci-fi shows. Here are some you may have forgotten about: 1. The Starlost (1973-74) The Starlost / IMDb This show only had 16 episodes and was pretty low budget, however, it does have a good following.
