Salvage 1

I can NOT understand why this Show was cancelled it was the greatest Show on TV at the time.

There had to be a good reason to cancel it.

I remember watching this Program when I was in Military Service in West Germany.

I did not like it when it was cut off.

There has to be some one out there that would know.

I've always liked Andy he can play any part they have.

Don knots would have been good in this show too.

I guess this one was for the Science types.

And Back then the science types were the called nerds.

Great Show

This show was a wonderful show. First of all, Andy Griffith. Maybe his shows are too quaint for some...but I loved them. Andy's soft, wise and yet accessible personae is alive and well in this show. Truly he made the show.

But the premise was great too. A home made rocket ship to salvage space junk. What a great idea. The show worked too. I watched this show with my family (I was in Jr HS a the time) and it proved to be a show that we all enjoyed equally. We were, as a family, very disappointed when this show was canceled.

I imagine that it had more to do with budget or keeping main cast members in place than popularity. While the show did not pull down top rating honors...it was the show that my friends and I would always get together and talk about in school.

It's hilarious watching Andy Griffith and the cast of this show pretend they are flying a literal pile of garbage into space and all over the globe! I remember watching this as a kid and am glad to have found it on Crackle. It's just pure camp fun. Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed.

The pilot dealt with a salvage firm building a space craft to go to the moon made from junk parts. SALVAGE 1 was about a salave firm that would go anywhere, anytime to salvage something....even to the moon to get old apollo program gear. A great idea for a string of tv movies but it ran out of gas as a tv show. Still as a boy it lit the fires of my imagination the way Buster Crabbe serials did in my grandfathers.

Too bad it was so short lived, another great one bites the dust, along with My world & welcome to it.

I guess, most people just didn't get the humor. My whole family has a very wacko sense of humor. I'm surprised, Star Trek stayed on as long as it did. But it got a 2nd & 3rd & 4th chance. Why not these 2 great shows?
