The STARLOST

The STARLOST
   Canadian tv series, syndicated by CTV (1973). Executive prods Douglas Trumbull, Jerry Zeitman. Prod William Davidson. Series created Cordwainer Bird (pseudonym of Harlan ELLISON). Technical advisor Ben BOVA. Starring Keir Dullea, Gay Rowen, Robin Ward, William Osler. 1 season of 17 50min episodes. Colour.
   This series about life on a vast GENERATION STARSHIP, none of whose occupants know its entire extent, should have been good given the quality of some of its creators (Trumbull, Ellison, Bova). In fact it was dire, and only in Canada were all episodes aired. Ellison repudiated it, and Bova wrote a roman a clef about the fiasco, The Starcrossed (1975). Ellison's original script for episode 1 (not asfilmed) won the prestigious Writer's Guild of America Award, and was novelized: Phoenix without Ashes * (1975) as by Ellison with Edward BRYANT.
