Anyone remember "Salvage 1"?

[TransitJohn]

Loved that as a kid.

1. Sure do

Well I remember the show in general and I remember that I liked it but I really don't remember the details. I wonder if I'd still like it now.

2. I was wondering that too.

If I watched it now, would I go, "huh?"

3. That show might be a good candidate for a re-imagining

like has been done for BSG.

4. I recall only a fraction of one episode

Some kind of renegade 70's-era robot went haywire and, among other things, uttered the apocryphal James Cagney line "You Dirty Rat," but I remember nothing else about the series.

5. That was the one with the homemade rocket, right?

I kinda remember it ... though I think I was more interested in Vegas at that time. :)

6. Oh yeah!

Once upon a time, a junkman had a dream...
"I'm gonna build a spaceship, go to the moon, salvage all the junk that's up there, bring it back and sell it."
So he put together a team. An ex-astronaut...a fuel expert...they built a rocketship...
And they went to the moon. Who knows what they'll do next?

The episode I remember best is the one where they found a Japanese veteran on an island who didn't know the war was over. They re-fueled the rocket using Sake, and flew him home.
