    MALIBU
    RUN / THE AQUANAUTS
    CBS at Wednesday 7:30 PM (60 min.)
    Premiered:
    September 14, 1960
    Last Aired:
    June 7, 1961
    The Aquanauts was a one hour action/adventure drama series that aired for one season from 1960 to 1961, Wednesday nights on CBS at 7:30pm. Keith Larsen and Jeremy Slate starred as California scuba divers, which provided teen viewers with a hip alternative to Lloyd Bridges' Sea Hunt.
    The show's lead characters, Mike Madison and Larry Lahr, own a dive shop called The Aquanauts. They also take diving jobs on the side and that's where the adventure begins. Lahr and Madison evoke that 60s California cool including having hip bachelor pads at the Holiday House in Malibu.
    Each week, what usually started out as routine jobs would never turn out that way. And the show featured supporting actors whom would become stars in their own right, such as Inger Stevens, William Conrad, Peter Falk, Mary Tyler Moore, Robert Vaughn, Dyan Cannon and Burt Reynolds.
    About half way through the season Larsen had to leave the show after he developed an ear infection and was replaced by Ron Ely. In hopes of injecting new life in the series, it was re-titled Malibu Run but it was not enough to get the show renewed for another year.

    This is a custom made DVD collection made from episodes acquired in the collector arena.  These pilot episodes are rare, extremely hard-to-find.  In many cases, t
    hese episodes
    were transferred from a master source many years ago (master source to Beta or VHS to DVD as each media became available).
    READ MY FEEDBACK
    - many people have already acquired and have enjoyed these sets for what they are... a piece of TV history not available in stores.
    If you are unfamiliar with video collecting and do not know what a 'collector set' means... It
    DOES NOT
    mean every episode is pristine and without flaws.  It
    DOES NOT
    mean all episodes are today's TV quality.   It
    DOES NOT
    mean all episodes will look great on your Samsung 65" 4G Big Screen HDTV.
    Too many people  believe every episode of every show is available in today's TV quality.  Unfortunately, that is not the case and you
    SHOULD NOT
    be expecting that.   Please
    DO NOT
    buy any collector DVD set if you are expecting the same quality as though you are watching TVLand reruns on your Big Screen HDTV.
    BEWARE OF THOSE WHO CLAIM "NEW" QUALITY ON A  COLLECTOR SET.... Ask if it is 'factory new' if you are unsure.
    If you are not sure what to expect from this set,
    DO NOT ASSUME!
    Please email me BEFORE purchasing.    I am an honest collector.  I have over 40+ years of collecting experience and a collection of over 250,000 video items (I lost count).   I know what is available to collectors and what is not.  Unlike some, I will not tell you what you want to hear just to make a sale.  I am not like that.  If you are expecting today's TV quality, I will tell you not to buy any collector DVD set.   If you want to watch this set for what it is, "a piece of lost TV history" then by all means do so.   I cannot be more honest in my explanation.
    DO NOT
    expect better quality than I am stating is being offered.
    ====================================
    THIS IS A CUSTOM MADE SET AND BECAUSE IT IS EASY TO COPY AND RETURN, I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON DVDs or CDs.
