May 20, 2012 - Her role on Star Trek was one of her FIRST roles. She probably looks back on it and thinks "God, I looked awful, and my acting was, well...." My guess is that THIS is why she harbors so much animosity towards this episode and her experience with Star Trek. I'll be sure and check out your other comments and work. Thanks.

May 20, 2012 - Cool you got to see her. Yeah, I've never understood her reluctance to speak about and the venom she has for that episode. If it makes people happy and it's not too horrible a thing to have gone through seems like she could make more of an effort and just go with it. I mean, we all know she's done other stuff. We get it Terri. We know your career. I think that's a fault on her part. Have you checked out our site to see what I think of all that? It also explains our project more.

May 20, 2012 - I saw Terri Garr in Santa Monica a few years ago (American Cinematheque was honoring her by showing YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN). They asked for questions from the audience, and I was in the center of the front row. I asked her a question about ASSIGNMENT EARTH, and she lashed out at me with "OH NO, WE HAVE A TREKKIE IN THE AUDIENCE!". VERY embarrassing. But, after the show was over, I hung around with a few others and asked her if she was still married to David Letterman. She laughed.

May 20, 2012 - Thanks. And as I always say,...agreed. You know any rich investors?
assignmentearth Says:
May 20, 2012 - And, although not as popular as this credit sequence, we have a jazzier version,... "theme 2". I think not as many people have discovered it. Have you checked it out?
assignmentearth Says:
Apr 30, 2012 - no doubt.

Apr 30, 2012 - Robert Lansing and Teri Garr should have been given their own show. Also, Star Trek should have been granted two more seasons. I think both shows could have had some interesting crossover episodes.

Mar 19, 2012 - I'll take G7, you can have Teri.
assignmentearth Says:
Mar 18, 2012 - Well, I don't anything about that. But yes, me thinks it would have been a fun show.
sunsdomain Says:
Mar 18, 2012 - Yes, it's quite a specialized item, and that's why I'm so pleased that somebody actually thought to create this little treat all these years later. BTW my disappointment at the time was not intellectual. Gary Seven is SMOKIN' HOT!!!!! Oh the sweet pain, to think a whole TV series' worth of G7 goodness was never to be.
assignmentearth Says:
Mar 17, 2012 - You're welcome. And thanks. Have to admit it's nice to just to hear people still finding this and still getting a kick out of this. As you know, I don't own the G7 property so I can't, and haven't made any money off this but it's almost a payment to get a nice comment and know I've affected someone positively. Also nice to hear someone getting what this is about. I've learned people either do or don't where this is concerned.
sunsdomain Says:
Mar 17, 2012 - IIRC "Assignment Earth" was definitely meant to interest the network in a new spinoff series, but it didn't go anywhere. Ever since I was a Trekkie kid I've had a wee little sad spot about that. Thanks for this little bit of wish fulfilment :-)

Oct 1, 2011 - I always thought this episode of Trek felt like a spin off pilot. Might have been an interesting show. Kinda an American Dr. Who, complete w/ female hanger on. Mixing sci-fi w/ espionage. It might have been even more sucessful then the original Trek.

May 14, 2011 - It exists in a Star Trek TOS episode! Those scenes were all in that show. :)
Velocity9s Says:
May 7, 2011 - GREAT! The music DEFINATELY reminded me of 60s action adventure shows, but it didn't quite do it for me. I can't wait to check out your 2nd version! But maybe you could use your same melody but supe it up to a more Mission Impossible/U.F.O(the british import)-esque feel. I love the clips you used & the way you made it look like Gary 7 was fighting a guard in a hard-hat was great! Just a suggestion; experimentaly create alternate vids with M:I , UFO, or the 3rd season of Lost in Space themes.

Dec 20, 2010 - 'Assignment: Earth' is one of my favourite Star Trek adventures, and I find it a very interesting concept. What if there had been some truth behind the fiction? Maybe there are humanoid operatives on Earth, assigned to the job of preventing nuclear conflicts and equipped with the technology to do so.
assignmentearth Says:
Nov 12, 2010 - Well thanks. More than anything, I guess, this is all about creating the illusion of something great to come...as many shows used to do. The art of creating an enticing opening credit sequence with an appropriately exciting theme song is no more. Great shows drew the viewer in through that sequence. The TV world has abandoned that practice. Maybe why I don't watch much of anything new these days. Ron Moore,take a cue from this for your new Wild Wild West revamp.

Nov 12, 2010 - Awesome awesome awesome. Man I would have watched that show.

Mar 2, 2010 - comic book !! where ¿?¿? it's not fair, it would have worked the NBC executives suck ! You know I swear I remember some kind of pilot episode of this with him walking past a huge white/cream colored dish type/"satelite" radio telescope. who makes the comic ? DC (they made Star Treks comics), Marvel ?? I would sell my soul to get a copy of that pilot ...

assignmentearth Says:
Feb 15, 2010 - Well thanks. You were being glass is half full and I was being 'half empty'. You're really being the voice of reason. Sometimes we all need that, eh? I too have always believed quality lasts.
solariscyberdeliko Says:
Feb 15, 2010 - As far as not getting proper credit--well, that's just not right. In a sense you have profited on your labor of love already--it's not apparent yet in a tangible way. Great stuff like yours always rises to the top and gets the recognition (and compensation) it deserves. Please keep in touch.
assignmentearth Says:
Feb 14, 2010 - Hey, hello again to you. Glad your friend liked it. I hear from lots of people on it. We were just featured on a scifi website (but didn't receive credit on it ...now is that right?) discussing the Assignment: Earth pilot. It shows thought that it's made it into the public consciousness though. Now to profit on our labor of love.
solariscyberdeliko Says:
Feb 14, 2010 - Hello, again! Did you know that there's a "Assignment : Earth" comic book out? The company is IDW. You might want to check it out. Hope you are still doing groovy music. I played/linked your themes to my friend (who is also a composer and keyboardist) and he flipped! Take care.

Jan 1, 2010 - It was a single episode - This was originally supposed to be a Star Trek spin - off, w / Robert Lansing as a 007 - type agent raised & / or instructed on another planet. That little pen device / remote control he used looks like a version of the sonic screwdriver from " Doctor Who ", too. Wonder if Gary Seven's working for a branch of the Time Lords ?
