It's too bad it was only on a season. I had a slight recollection of watching the show when I was 10 years old. Recently, I managed to get a hold of about 18 episodes from someone selling it on the internet.

The show was excellent. A little darker (emotionally speaking) than most Westerns, Robert Horton plays it excellently as a man who has lost his memory and is searching for his history throughout the country. It's the typical Kerouac-ish theme of roaming the country, that was found in so many episodes in the 60s. The plots are good. Horton is good. And the theme song, besides the Bat Masterson theme song, is the best one ever, and I believe Horton sang it himself.

While the theme and darkness somewhat resembles the Fugitve, robert horton was no David Janssen. And in the Fugitive, one got more of a sense of desperation; after all, Kimble was running for his life. What's the worst that happened if Shenandoah didn't find what he was looking for? He still had a good life. That's what subtracted somewhat from the show - the idea that "so what, he lost his memory".

But still, had the show lasted more than a year, other ideas could have been developed. It's a very good original theme, with lots of open space to work with. Not sure why the show didn't go beyond a year, but it's a shame. It was quality, and could have improved even further.

Movies like this cannot be found easily, so appreciate it.. Let's put it this way: When my friend and I go to the movies and see the coming attractions, we yell out how much we think it's worth paying to see that movie. "5 bucks", "a buck fifty", sometimes "full price"... Well, this movie (In the Year 2889), we would yell out "you should be paying us".

First off, the first minute I'm wondering, hey, this looks like the 60's to me, what the heck is the significance of the title "2889". I'm still wondering.

Okay, it doesn't pay to dwell on the details or the plot, or insignificant stuff like that. If you're into low-budget trash, this one is magnificent. Don't believe the critics on IMDb. This movie gets a solid 8, if just to see Paul Petersen function without Donna Reed. And the old guy (father) is a pisser. The story is so full of holes and bad acting that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

Bad movie fans, you've GOT to watch this one!

I find this film pointless. Big deal, there was an interracial relationship. This theme can hardly highlight a movie. And Robert Downey Jr. is totally wasted, having the oxygen mask on him for most of his role. Then again, they should have put oxygen masks on the rest of the cast, to stifle their lines. Come to think about, the audience in the theaters probably needed oxygen masks to keep from fainting at this poor flock.

I even found the sex scenes uninteresting.

What exactly was the theme or idea, or plot of this movie. No need to issue a spoiler here, because anyone watching this movie should be thoroughly dis-interested in the ending.
