This was one of those shows that was produced by Filmation that tried to teach a weekly morals lesson in the guise of a science fiction show. The only memorable thing about this series was the fact that Jonathan Harris, who played the villainous Doctor Smith on a true classic in "Lost in Space", is cast as the 300 year old mentor to a group of teen-age cadets as they explore the universe and take time each episode to learn a valuable life lesson. Unfortunately, to me this show was just produced as a way to cash in on the monster success of the classic film Star Wars, which had come out earlier that year. The plots were dumb and the all the characters weren't memorable at all. Too bad Jonathan Harris had to waste his talents on this turkey.
