This could have been one of the finest science fiction show's of the seventies if it had been allowed to stay on longer and allowed the characters to develop. Gregory Harrison was perfect as Logan and Heather Menzies was great as Jessica. Also, Donald Moffat was great as the android Rem. Too bad this show was bounced around all over the schedule. I would have loved to have seen them encounter all sorts of societies in the post-apocalyptic world of this show.
Although I was only 9 or 10 when it was first aired in my country (dominican republic), I was very impressed with the storytelling and I thought that the actors were pretty cool!! Specially REM. All of my friends and I thought that Heather Menzies was a goddess!!
The fact that it ran for only 14 episodes makes the prospects of ever watching reruns (specially here in my country) so much harder!! Too bad, such a great series...

Logan's Run, based on the 1976 movie of the same name, was a good show. Gregory Harrison was Logan, a Sandman, Heather Menzies was Jessica. A Runner. Runners are people who want to live beyond the age of 30. In the futuristic society that Logan and Jessica live, it's against the law. When you reach your 30th
birthday, you're a dead man, or woman. Donald Moffat played the android Rem. Logan's Run originally aired on Friday nights at 9:00 pm, but was bounced around the time slots so much by CBS that when it finally ended in 1978, CBS didn't care whether it survived or not. It was never on the Sci-Fi Channel. It would also make a good DVD presentation.

Does anyone else remember this series, which was something of a cult among my circle of teenage friends in London, England, in the late 70s? I can see from the IMDb entry that it only ran to 14 episodes, so I imagine the plug was pulled on it pretty quickly. (This often seems to be the case with shows that are too good.) I've no idea how it would hold up now, since it has never, to my knowledge, been repeated on British TV, but I have fond memories of this series. My friends and I thought that Heather Menzies was very pretty, but we were especially impressed by the android, Rem. If "Lost In Space" and "Land Of The Giants" were my preferred viewing in the late 60s, "Planet Of The Apes" and "Logan's Run" (in their TV-series manifestations) were my shows of choice in the late 70s.
I didn't watch the Logan's Run tv series during it's original run, I actually watched it after I saw the 'Logan's Run' movie (feature film) on the TNT Network (USA): One of Ted Turner's networks. Luckily I taped them on HiFi-VHS SP tape speed and cherish them. I was aired on TNT less than five years ago but I bet never again. I remember hearing about the tv series it being cancelled due to too much Violence according to the 70's censors. I think Gregory Harrison and Heather Menzies was a great pair and the show was great. The beautiful Melody Anderson was in a episode(Manimal tv series star). REM was a great character and a cool idea. One of Heather Menzies relatives was in the classic 'Things to Come' movie. --- Great tv series: A++++++++++++

- TriviaThere are several differences between the series and the original film. In the City of Domes, there are no life clocks on the City-dwellers' palms, Francis has companions who seek Logan outside, the Sandman weapons are adjustable with a stun setting, the city is run not by a computer but a council of elders, they refer to the city as the "City of Domes," and there are many more people outside for Logan and Jessica to interact with. The City-dwellers also seem far more worldly and able to adapt to being outside than their cinematic counterparts.
