This show ran from 1964 to 1968 and had 110 episodes all of which thankfully are on DVD. When these were released to disc they were always cut into two volumes for each season. I hated that as it was more expensive to purchase them that way, but I had no choice if I wanted to see them, and of course, I did.
The first season was in black and white and a lot of the shows dealt with spies and espionage, but there were a few monsters and bizarre elements in some shows.
ELEVEN DAYS TO ZERO 9-14-64...This is the pilot episode and introduces us the the Seaview and some of it's crew including Admiral Harriman Nelson (Richard Basehart) and Captain Lee Crane (David Hedison). This episode finds the Seaview dispatched to try and stop a predicted massive polar earthquake.

THE PRICE OF DOOM 10-12-64...One of my favorite episodes. The Seaview is invaded by every growing plankton from a research experiment gone wrong. David Opatoshu, John Milford and Jill Ireland star. Look for the always beautiful Pat Priest in an uncredited role at the beginning of the episode.
