There was a show in the 70's(?), it's about a scientific submarine doing
exploration, and meet a man from the Atlantic that can breath in
water,etc.

I really don't know anymore about it, but it's probably called
"....from Atlantic(something)", so if anyone can fill me in with
whatever information regarding this show, it's greatly appreciated.

I'm also looking for tapes from the show.

thanks.

Perhaps you're thinking of Patrick Duffy's 1977 (pre-Dallas)
program entitled "The Man From Atlantis"?

It was "The Man from Atlantis" starring Patrick Duffey (from the show
Dallas). He had webbed fingers and webbed toes and wore speedos all the
time.

I think you are thinking of "Man from Atlantis" starring that ever
popular actor from Dallas and Step-by-Step, Patrick Duffy. I remember
he had webbed fingers, and that's about all that I remember.

The show that you are thinking from is called The Man from Atlantis.
The show stared Patrick Duffy form "Dallas" and now in the sitcom
Step by Step. I have never seen any episodes on tape but your local
Blockbuster Video should have the movie on cassette.

I belief it was called "The Man from Atlantis" and starred Patrick
Duffy (of "Dallas" fame). Beyond that, you're on your own.

Wasn't there a show from the 60's called "Gill-Boy"? I think it starred
Dean Stockwell and Desi Arnaz, Jr. as the Gill-Boy. I may still have a
"Gill-Boy" Thermos in my parent's attic.

It was called "The Man from Atlantis", and starred Patrick Duffy (who
later went on to star as Bobby Ewing on "Dallas") and Belinda? Montgomery
(definitely Montgomery, but not Elizabeth of "Bewitched"). It ran for
only a couple seasons, around 1977-79(?). I'm not sure of the exact
years, but it was when I was probably a sophomore or junior in high
school. (Oops, I just gave away my age...)

It's called "Last Citizen of Atlantis" and it should be available in
syndication.

Who can forget Adam Quark the space-garbage man? Along with the Betty's, the
vegeton, and the bisexual transmute?

Likewise, it should be available in syndication through ABC.

As everyone has probably told you by now it's "The Man from Atlantis"
starring Patrick Duffy. If I remember the story (I was about 4 at the
time) there was a research submarine and they happened to meet the
last/lost Atlantian. He acted much in the same role as Darwin on SeaQuest
(ie. going out and doing things divers can't do), but he didn't have an
annoying little kid as his keeper.

He was kind of an Aquaman lite. He was stronger than land folks (I think
they explaind it was like this so he could withstand ocean depths and
because he essentially spent 24 hours a day swiming). He looked like a
normal human except that he had small webs between his fingers, and he
wore a really ugly pair of yellow speedos. He got weak/hurt if he was
away from water for too long.

The submarine had a cool "water lock" that impressed the heck out of me
back then (give me a break, I was four), but no torpedos (bummer). Oh,
and the Atlantian swam "dolphin style" I beleive that the story ends with
them actually finding Atlantis and he is charged/tortured for some crime
or another (just remember what looked like a pexiglass phone booth and
three ping-pong balls bouncing around that would hurt if they thouched
him)

Hope this helps

I have never heard of gill-boy, but I believe there was a show called
Marine Boy in the 60's. IT was a Japanese cartoon in the same vein as
Astro Boy and Prince Planet.

He sure did. Didn't they revamp the show after a while? I think he
started living on a underwater lab "attached" to a nearby island. I can
vaguely recall a little girl and a salty old sea Captain (along with a
parrot).

Anyone remember when he went diving using the hose-gizmo, and the little
girl squeezed lemon juice down the hose?

What about the fight scenes - the budget was so low, they used the one ship
(Quark's) in each shot.

I remember that show! Don't know what it was called but I liked it. Remember
the scene where Patrick Duffy is going to leave the chick scientest and go back
into the ocean? He sees her crying and wipes a tear with his finger, then
tastes it. "It tastes of salt" he says wonderingly. God, I almost cried
myself.

The "WHAT???" scientist? Maybe I move in extremely PC circles, but I
haven't heard the word "chick" used to refer to anything other than a
baby bird since around the 1970s. What I'm wondering is where is the
rest of the flaming?

The woman who was on "Man from Atlantis was named Elizabeth J. Montgomery,
I think. The actress used her middle initial (I think it was a "J") so
that she wouldn't be confused with the actress from Bewitched.

Actually, it was Belinda J. Montgomery. She sometimes uses her middle initial,
and sometimes doesn't <shrug--who knows>. Sweet lady, later played (among
other things) Doogie Howser's mom (we like her anyway <G>).

If you're going to cross-post to that many topics, you should really
try to get it right; try "Belinda J. Montgomery."

....And there was never a problem with confusing her with Mrs. Asher.

She added the "J" in, some time around the mid-seventies, for other reasons.

You've managed to mix up the character name (Dr. Elizabeth Merrill)
with the name of the actress who played her (Belinda J. Montgomery).

Hope this helps.

Actually her name is Belinda J. Montgomery.

Another example of where some of the useless information that rattles
around in my head, turns out to be useful after all! More trivia...
I *think* she's Canadian, and comes from the same city I now reside,
Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Gosh! Isn't this fun!?!??!!! I think I'll cross-post this message to everyone in
the entire solar system, just because I get all giggly thinking about Man from
Atlantis!!!!!! Come on, everybody, let's all talk about the show!!! Drop what
you're doing, quit the job, sell the spouse and kids: everyone needs to know
about this show forever and ever and ever until the end of time, and then we
can all talk about it in heaven for eternity!!!

Oooooohhhh, just the thought of it is making me all warm and runny!! The only
way to cure it is by: talking about Man from Atlantis!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was really E. Charles Bronson in drag. He had to put an E in front of
his name because the real Charles Bronson complained to the Actor's
Union. Edith Prickley told me that; he also appeared in her movie "Prickley
Heat" on SCTV.

Aw, man, don't provoke this guy! I've already done some checking on his
usenet background. He's got nothing better to do with his time than to
engage in flamewars, consistently using the most foul language available.
He basically dominates alt.tv.robotech, effectively keeping it from
discussing anything to do with Robotech. This letter of his is normal
coming from him. By the way, he's also a regular on alt.fetish.feet or
something like that, and a few other anime and sex newsgroups.
Personally, I'd rather just let him rant. You'll note I've removed
alt.tv.robotech from the command line. They've got enough posts against
him already.

*His* newsgroup? Speaking of one of the denziens of alt.tv.robotech,
I can not only say that the newsgroup does not belong to him, but so
far as I can tell, he hasn't actually posted anything but bile and
flammage on alt.tv.robotech. God forbid he should post content.

I dislike spam and idle cross-posts as much as the next guy, but the
people generating spam won't be deterred just because Bob Bitchin' spews
against people who are similarly victimized in these newsgroups.

Since this is pretty much what hs does on "his" newsgroup *anyway*, I
rather see this as an idle threat.

: I have a lot of time on my hands,

Apparently so.

: and my credentials speak for themselves.

And they say: "Net-pest 2nd Class"

On behalf of the *serious* posters on alt.tv.robotech, I'd like to apologize

Hey don't worry. You make us sick as well. You just come in and flame
me, and as for asking retarded questions - it looks like you already
are!
You have a 'lot of time on your hands' do you? I take it nobody will
employ a swearing loud mouthed yob that knows NOTHING (take that zero,
zilch) about ANYTHING especially the internet. And yes, I do want
you to test me by coming to my newsgroup (you've got to find it first!)
and fuck with me. I could do with a good fucking!
And, finally, you can keep your OWN fucking crossposts out.

I hope this will be the end of this.
