Did they air all the episodes in NZ?


They made it in New Zealand and used NZ actors/actresses, yet I don't remember them ever playing the last season(s), can anyone confirm this? I'd hate to have missed out..

I remember it was on Channel 3 on Sunday mornings and the last season I watched was the one where the tall big chick joined the show, I can't remember her name but she had a thing for Lex if I remember correctly, anyway, the last episodes I saw dealt with these guys in blue robes invading their city, and they were led by some blond haired guy and revered Trudy and her baby because Zoot was the father, again, if I remember correctly, anyway, the season seemed to end on the cliffhanger of them invading and capturing the Tribe people... I believe they repeated the show from the start after this but I never saw any new episodes.

They stopped showing it after the repeats and I have been waiting ever since for it to start back up again.. I checked the tv guide all the time, it's possible I missed it for a few weeks but not if it started back up regularly, I would have noticed.... that is unless they played it on one of the more obscure or regional channels, I just hope I didn't miss it.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thats all correct...thats as much as they played in NZ. I used to watch it on a Sunday morning as well!

Bad ratings I assume stopped it from being on air her?. Yet overseas they continued to film and play the seasons. Unfair IMO!

As far as i am aware they only showed the series up until S2. I guess that's why the show isn't that well known in NZ and a lot more popular in Europe. S1 - 5 are now available on dvd so you could catch up that way.

They only aired seasons 1 and 2 on tv here which was a shame since me and my friends enjoyed watching it.
