The Phoenix

I, too, was in middle school when I first saw this show in the early 80's. I wasn't into environmentalism at the time, but the concept of aliens and pyramids and telekenesis really struck home. The previous reviews hit the nail on the head. I had always felt that the show was way ahead of its time, and would have thrived in the 1990's. Rumor has it that this was a pet project for Judson Scott, the star. I believe six was the number of episodes that were made. There is a group on Yahoo for fans of Judson Scott, simply called "Judson".moreless

With its themes of conservation, science fiction/alien presences on earth mixed with archeology, as well as new age abilities The Phoenix was definitely a show ahead of its time, and Judson Scott was wonderfully cast as Bennu. I saw every episode when it originally aired, and have recently had the chance to see them all again. I enjoyed it just as much the second time around as I did during its original airing. It should defintely have lasted longer than it did and I wouldn't mind seeing it redone. Too bad Judson Scott is no longer young enough to reprise his role.moreless

I was only 10 years old when this show came out. But I loved it. To this day, I still do. The concepts on the show were way ahead of what mindless TV zombies want to see however - but perfect for people like me. I would love to have closure on this.

to be honest i had forgotten about this series until a few years ago. i saw it one day on the sci fi channel. i remember seeing it once or twice when i was a kid. i wonder how many of episodes even aired. surely it could not have been that many.

Now this is one show that they do need to bring back on the air. I was in middle school when it first came on tv. As a family we would sit in the kitchen eating dinner and watching tv. Well this is one of the shows we watched at the table regularly. But now I can record them and watch them all over again...
