The Space Giants

I was a big fan of this show back then. I was hoping somebody could help me by sending info regarding this show. I would like to know if there is a website for it. I would like to know if there is a way to get old shows on DVD. I have seen info on ebay but it wasn't very specific. In fact, it was kind of vague. My kids would like this kind of show. I would like to see these again since it brings back some good memories of the past. There were other shows at this time like Ultraman and Speed Racer. These were great to watch too. I'm hoping someone out there can be a big help with this. Hope to hear from somebody soon!!!!!! I know I cant be the only one out there that would like this info. Please help!!!!! Rochey50

This was a great TV show. It aired in the early 80's on Channel 17 (WTBS). It was fun to watch as a kid and I'm sure it would be a hit even today. There was NEVER a character named Liz, by the way, and the show did not have any religious meaning behind the stories. It was good the good guys (Earthlings) against the bad guys (aliens). Of course the good guys always won! The lead man was named TOM MURA.

Nothing great, a bit like a Godzilla show or another one where some dude held his arms in the air and said "Help me overlord" before changing into a giant robot. This one follows the adventures of a young boy who has a whistle that when blowed could summon a little boy, a young woman, and a giant dude named Goldar in America to his aid. A fact that most of the other reviewers seemed to have forgotten. Most of them seem to say so much about the show, but fail to mention these characters and go on about spiritualism, wicca and all this while not mentioning the family that turned into ships. Another thing I remember about this one was the rather creepy looking villain and the episode where this dude made a super heat wave where they tried to make it rain to cool things down, but all it did was rain really hot water. The monsters other than the main villain are a blank to me as I remember the monsters from the one about the guy sticking his arms in the air, but almost none of them from this show. Still, while not super great this show kept me entertained as a child.

WTBS started running this around 1979. The program was purchased in syndication for cheap around the time Japanese tv shows and animation such as BATTLE OF THE PLANETS and STAR BLAZERS hit US airwaves after syndication deals with such firms as Claster and Sandy Frank etc. Turner ran this series which was a GODZILLA/RODAN style robot space opera mixing kung fu, fantasy, espionage, and science fiction in adventure show aimed at kids and young adults. The program was not a ratings bomb and fired well on cable in a era where you had a different approach to afternoon broadcasting (pre talk show era). Some have said the program mixed wiccan legends like THE FACE OR OLD MAN OR WOMAN IN THE WOODS with symbolism in a robotic battle of good and evil. The program was family oriented science fiction that was almost 15 years old when it hit America on mass in many different tv markets. The series cost effective faired well but is not on video or in release on tv yet. If you liked Godzilla but like a little "tounge in cheek" humor this show will be up your alley.

So long I have wanted to see anything of this series again. The heroes Goldar,dad like; Silvar,mom like; and Gan ,boy like ;there was also a kid who called on them with special whistles,one for each hero They were robot-like aliens thats what they looked like anyhow that could turn into jets, the bads guy were awesome the way their costume turned from seemingly human filled into a oozing blob of a green pudding filled looked lots cooler than I described. My favorite episode was about this young boy who would dream bout a monster and then it would come to life. Oh what I wouldn't give to see an episode of my favorite childhood show...
