Never get tired of The Martian Chronicles - watching it again!

This is one of my favorite series. I watched it as a kid and now decades later, it's a great series. I'm watching it this weekend and just beginning on The Settlers episode.

No matter how many times I watch this, I always enjoy it. There are so many interesting stories, like when they landed on the planet and it looked like a small town in Illinois. Of course some of the sets and effects aren't the greatest by modern day standards, but none of that really matters!

Anyone else watch the series lately?

Ive been watching it on and off for the last couple of days. I also don't get tired of watching it. So many different aspects to appreciate. Excellent story. Wish they televised more of the chronicles.

I haven't seen this since it aired when I was a kid. I remember certain scenes and I remember I couldn't wait till the next one to come on. I just got the book and have been reading it. I'd love to watch it again if I could find it.

This might make a great remake if they do it right. Loved the visuals of it though. I remember the Martians and those ships. Thought they were beautiful.

Where is it available for watching?

I don't know of any place to watch it online - it's not available on Netflix either. I ended up buying the DVD from Amazon a few years ago, which contains the entire series. Wasn't too expensive, probably less now and more so if you order a used copy.

I got it on dvd, and am watching it now. I went to see The Forest today. I really do kind of now wish I had stayed home and just watched this.

Ah, well.

I don't tire of it.
