I was a huge fan of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson/Century 21 Productions, from Fireball XL-5 onward. It, like all the others I have experienced, was definitely made by people for themselves at the target age. There was so much interest in all the topics, much of it influenced by their prior works, which steered a mainstream course in the river of science fiction. Rockets? Submarines? Things that come apart on purpose, and change what they are capable of because of it? Oh, and people launching themselves down tubes, feet first. Pure design genius.
UFO and Space 1999 definitely explored the envelope of Sci-Fi canon and neat ideas, especially the broadest concepts. The memes were strong, to survive over a century. I was not looking for it on Prime, but somehow those gigantic filters put it in front of my face.
