Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

A gigantic tidal wave will destroy much of the civilized world, but Admiral Harriman Nelson has a plan to stop it -- Seaview will set off a nuclear explosion at precisely the right time and place. Evil forces seek to destroy Nelson before he implements his plan -- in the chaos following the tidal wave, they hope to take over the world! Seaviews original Skipper is killed and its Lee Crane from the US Navy to the rescue.

After Seaviews sister ship, Polidor, is lost on an experimental deep dive, Seaview continues with the tests. Unknown to the already stressed crew, one of the visiting psychologists aboard is an enemy agent who has released a fear-causing gas into the air system. As Seaview plunges into the depths a dangerous panic starts to spread.

A husband and wife Antarctic research team is killed by an experiment on plankton gone wild. Seaview arrives to investigate and take plankton samples. Soon the submarine is in danger of succumbing to the horrible, slimy growth. Nelson, Crane and crew face another problem: one of the three scientists on board the sub is an enemy agent.

A lush, tropical, verdant paradise in the South Pole? Living dinosaurs? Such fanciful ideas must surely be the ravings of a madman. Or perhaps not, as Admiral Nelson soon discovers. The question is, will he and Crane survive their trip to a lost world?

A Soviet satellite has crashed into the sea and its nuclear reactor must be disarmed before it causes a disaster. Two Soviet scientists come aboard Seaview to carry out the work -- but one of them is an imposter.

A mysterious weapon is destroying American U2s. The Seaviews mission is to find the weapon and destroy it. Captain Crane goes undercover. A night-club performer, who is also a resistance fighter, comes to Cranes aid. The Captain is soon captured and severely beaten. Meanwhile, on Seaview, Major Amadi demands asylum. To prove his sincere intentions, he promises to lead the sub to the powerful magnetic weapon responsible for taking out those U2s. Nelson suspects he wants to lead Seaview to a watery grave.

In blizzard-wracked Florida, Nelson contacts a meteorologist who may be able to help explain the strange weather conditions. That night, however, the scientist is abducted, and ""programmed"" to kill Nelson. When his first attempt fails, he comes aboard Seaview when she sails to investigate the source of the problem, and continues his efforts.

When the King of a small but friendly nation is assassinated, Seaview is assigned to take the young Crown Prince back home to assume his throne. Neither Nelson (who gets turned out of his own cabin) nor Crane are used to handling children. Help arrives in the form of a mysterious flute-playing old man who befriends the boy after he is picked up at sea.

Admiral Nelson is kidnapped from a plane during mid-flight and held on a remote island by Nazis who plan to conquer the world.

When a mass missile launching by a foreign power sets the U.S. on nuclear alert, the Seaview goes into a fail-safe maneuver, but is the launch really what it appears to be, and does this actually mean its "doomsday?"

After returning from a mission on deep space, a lifelike robot is brought aboard the Seaview, but the crew soon discovers that the robot has been mysteriously reprogrammed to wreak havoc.

A newly installed super-computer is tested on the Seaview...but the enemy has other plans.

A strange experiment to speed up evolution goes horribly awry, and an enormous protoplasm monster threatens the lives of the entire crew.

Nelson is stranded aboard a life raft with the ex-premier of a hostile foreign power who carries vital information on a plot to destroy the free world.

Nelson and Crane hear about the destruction of the submarine Angler. When they read the captains log and hear the tapes made in the control room, Nelson and Crane are puzzled: Captain Williams wen insane and machine-gunned officer Richardson, yet both men were close friends. It seems that after they had left a mysterious island, the men became deadly enemies.

Nelson and Crane are dismayed when an egotistical, publicity-seeking scientist is given command of the Seaview to test a new pressure system which will allow the sub to explore uncharted depths.

The Seaview is on a joint mission with Russian scientists to salvage the remains of a Soviet undersea lab. While a scientist is being lowered in the diving bell, a giant whale arrives and rams the bell. The glass is shattered, killing him. Nelson and the remaining Russian scientist, Katya Markova, go on a second dive. The whale reappears, this time swallowing the diving bell whole! Now its a race against thime as Captain Crane and the crew of the Seaview find the diving bell and get it out before Nelson and Markova run out of oxygen!

Seaview comes to the rescue of newly discovered WWII survivors living in an underwater cave beneath a rumbling volcano.

Crane is caught up with a circle of spies as he tries to make his way back to Seaview with important missile defense data.

While inspecting undersea bomb shelters with the President, aides attempt a power grab.

Defecting scientists create a proton bomb, but are killed by a foriegn power and the bomb is captured. A surviving scientist works at disarming the bomb...with other plans in mind.

A toy manufacturer is involved with kidnapping and shipping politicians and scientists to foreign powers.

A space probe returns to earth and is recovered by Seaview...only to unleash an alien organism aboard.

A foreign power is salvaging sunken nuke missiles from the ocean floor to make themselves a superpower.

Seaview encounters a sunken WWI sub...with someone still left aboard.

A scientist and his secretary come aboard Seaview when their research vessel is sunk by a giant Portugese Man-Of-War. They want Admiral Nelson to return to the scene, but wont tell him the real reason.

A 16th century pirate seemingly comes back from the grave to threaten Seaview.

Captain Gantt, an ego-maniacal scientist, is in a nuclear sub testing a powerful new fuel. Due to his bungling, the sub crashes into a giant web and is attacked by a monsterous sea spider. The Seaview investigates and rushes to retrieve the remaining fuel canisters before the enormous underwater pressure collapses the test sub abd detonates the fuel - an explosion which would kill millions!

Drs. Paul Ward and Peter Omir have discovered a powerful new element -- Subterranium 116. This element can produce limitless pure energy, but Omir may have another agenda.

Seaview is investigating a thousand-mile wide communication blackout. The source of this is a large alien brain found under the sea. It is broght aboard and takes over visiting scientist, Dr. Lindsay. With his help, and after possessing Captain Crane, the alien vows to take over the Seaview and after that, the Earth.

As Admiral Nelson demonstrates a new tracking device for a visiting U.S. senator, it seems to show that Seaview is the only life left on earth.

Seaview is investigating a UFO. Along the way, they pick up a shipwrecked old man -- almost always a bad omen when our gallant crew finds a castaway! The bedraggled fellow has a sack full of strange, frightening toys capable of murder, and of destroying the submarine. Turns out the alien ship needs to melt down Seaviews hull for fuel. Nelson and Crane do their best to foil the aliens plans before it is too late.

Captain Crane rescues a diver from a wrecked atomic sub. He turns out to be Kowalskis brother, Stan, a Navy diving specialist. When the Seaview needs his help in getting off the ocean floor, Stan is not up to the job.

Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane are involved in a mind-control experiment, with Chief Sharkey caught in the middle.

A ghostly ancestor of Admiral Nelson visits him aboard Seaview.

Seaview and an enemy sub battle to recover a superbomb from the ocean floor.

The Seaview is called in to help track an artificially created life form, now loose in the Pacific. The creature, which is growing at a fantastic rate, has its own agenda -- starting with a takeover of the crew.

Arctic Listening Station XZ-5 receives a message from a voice from space (""laser beeeeeam""). Professor Bergstrom, ignoring the advice of his assistant, activates their beam and brings the alien, living flame, to Earth. Now, this Heat Monster wants the Seaview to detonate a bomb under the polar ice cap. How can the intrepid crew defeat this new menace?

As the Seaview conducts a marine census, Captain Crane spots a mermaid. He brings her aboard and falls under her spell. A sea creature follows the mermaid and proceeds to cause big trouble on the sub. The problems are compounded when the Seaview is ordered to disarm a nuclear device that has been planted off the coast of California.

The Seaview takes on a skeleton crew and is being used to guide a new interstellar space probe. However, Chip Morton is taken over by an alien shadow man which wants to stop the probe.

While Nelson and Sharkey search by air for an uncharted island, Seaview brings aboard a gigantic egg from the bottom of the sea during a routine specimen collection. It later hatches a fully grown, orange creature which kills a background guy and tosses Kowalski around the missle room. Nelson returns and (in a very un-urgent manner) has the crew hunt down this grunting thing as it terrorizes the crew. Later, Crane and Kowalski take the flying sub out to investigate the area, crash landing near the uncharted island. Another orange crature (one that speaks and is the leader) captures them and brings them to creature HQ. The monsters are aliens from Scorpious which are trying to hatch millions of eggs. Can the crew stop this invasion before these amphibian aliens take of the Earth?

A mysterious cloud is enveloping the Earth and causing massive Tsunami and other catastrophic environmental damage. Crane takes the flying sub in to find out the cause and is taken over by an evil alien. Once aboard, this alien tries to stop Nelson before he can destroy the cloud with nuclear weapons.

The Seaview is being buffeted about by underwater explosions due to the eruption of an active volcano. Dr. Turner (Victor Jory) is aboard to stop the eruptions. However, his true mission is to bring up ""elixir stones."" An alchemist, Turner needs the stones to keep him immortal. However, in order to bring up the stones, he needs to stimulate the volcano into full eruption!

"Those who see the Flying Dutchman never, never reach the shore." Investigating the loss of Navy ships, Nelson finds an ancient dagger in a cave on an uncharted island, and falls under a strange curse. Haunted by visions of skeletons and an anachronistic ship, he has trouble convincing the crew of his sanity. Meanwhile, Seaview is sailing in circles, and the visiting Commander Van Wyck seems to have disappeared. Guest star Warren Stevens also appeared in "The Saboteur" and "Deadly Invasion".

"Theres nothing to do here but to keep from disappearing." Lt. Commander Morton Seaview is carrying a new missile, and Nelson has orders to deliver it to its launch site at all costs. Unfortunately, the missile malfunctions, and Nelson cant get into the sealed silo to fix it. Soon, the crew starts to disappear, and bizarre phenomena plague the ones who remain.

Doctor Blanchard has created a device to control the actions of a white gorilla. Unfortunately, his assistant Leo Brock wants the fame that the inventor of such a device would gain. As a result he uses the device to enrage the gorilla and kill Blanchard. Nelson gets there too late to save Blanchard, but the gorilla is taken on board. Brock sets the gorilla free and he runs amock until both Brock and the gorilla are killed.

Seaview is on the lookout for an enemy sub and its underwater sub-pen. Sonar picks up a contact. The rogue sub fires at Seaview, which is saved only by virtue of her new electronic hull shield. Not so fortunate is Captain Crane, who has just located the sub-pen while on patrol in the FS-1. A powerful laser fires a beam at the Flying Sub, crippling the ship. Running out of air, moving in and out of consciousness, Crane is unable to give the pens coordinates to Nelson. Thanks to the hard work of some enemy agents aboard, Seaview seems unable to rescue the Captain. Worried about Crane trapped in the Flying Sub, Admiral Nelson is particularly impatient in this episode. He constantly barks at Morton and the Chief.

finds herself suddenly out of touch with the rest of the world, in the wrong part of the ocean and encountering strange creatures. It seems shes been thrown a million years back in time. Then the Admiral opens his cabin door and finds himself back in his Santa Barbara office, confronting the strange Mr. Pem and his pocket-sized time machine, and has to play a risky game before time can return to its normal course. The early part of this episode contains two astronomical errors. First, Nelson takes snapshots of the eclipse-darkened sky with an ordinary camera, but when the shots are developed they show galaxies and nebulae that could only be seen with a telescope. Second, the Admiral describes the pictures as showing constellations. Henry Jones (Pem) also appears as Sprague in "Night of Terror" and once again as Pem in "No Way Back". This episode features re-used footage from "Thing from Inner Space".

Seaview has been sent to the ocean floor by mysterious pressure impacts. Crane, Sharkey, and Kowalski go out in the Flying Sub to investigate. They, too, are sent to the bottom of the sea. Strange creatures (half men-half fish) present themselves and explain that they intend to take over Seaview (who doesnt?) and eventually the world! Don Matheson starred as Mark Wilson in Land of the Giants.

About the plot . . . Um . . . Well . . . Uh . . . Okay, here it is: You see, there are these twin leprechauns, one good, the other icky. The icky one wants all the gold thats buried beneath an underwater defense installation in the Irish Sea. The good leprechaun does his best to stop his evil brother from doing any harm . * Footage of Morton and Kowalski trapped in an underwater cave was borrowed from previous episodes. So what else is new? * Why this episode wasnt broadcast on St.

Poor Captain Crane. The things he had to go through. This time, hes in the Flying Sub, when he receives a distress call from the Seaview. He comes back to his sub, only to find it abandoned -- again. But wait, theres a force-field on the spiral stairs which knocks Crane out, and theres a stranger aboard who naturally shoots at him. Eventually Crane sees the crew, and he hears the voice of Nelson calling him a traitor. It takes about an hour, and a bullet in the shoulder (fired by guess who?), before Crane discovers aliens are testing the human race.

Naval ships have been disappearing, and Seaview is on a hunt for the undersea installation responsible. They find a sea-lab that is not only well-armed but surrounded by overgrown and ferocious sea-creatures. To complicate matters, the guest expert aboard is a traitor. Various "dangerous denizens" of the deep from earlier episodes reappear here, thanks to re-used footage: theres a whale, and one of those globular-eyed bottom-dwelling monsters seen in such episodes as "Deadly Creature Below".

Alien jungle growth is spreading across Italy, and before long -- thanks to a crewman who is really an alien spy -- the vegetation invades Seaview too. The Admiral has built a device that might help, but first he and Crane have to fight their way through the overgrown corridors to prevent the missiles being used to spread the infestation even farther. * Patrick Culliton played various crewmen over Voyages 4 seasons.

Aliens are at it again. Theyre planning to destroy the Earth. However, one of the aliens claims to be a good guy. Can he be believed? Will mankind survive yet another close encounter with space visitors? * Skip Homeier also appears in "The Amphibians" and "The Day the World Ended" * Kevin Hagen guest-starred in "The Shape of Doom".

"... but the Flying Subs my baby!" Captain Crane to Chief Sharkey Seaviews reactor is running wild -- again. Without taking the time to don protective anti-radiation gear, Captain Crane runs into the Reactor Room to shut down the pile. An explosion renders him unconscious. Although treated in Sickbay with a special anti-radiation device, the Captain does not come out of his coma-like state. Doc can find no explanation. (Apparently, Doc hasnt read the script.) Corpsman Mallory has turned that life-saving device into a time-machine. Mallory is testing his fourth-dimension gadget on Crane before using it to enslave the entire world! A warped and insane Captain Crane from the future shoots and kills Admiral Nelson, because he believes the Admiral has held him back from achieving all he should have. Maybe hes paying Nelson back for the Krueger incident.
