Where To Watch
Do these classic sci-fi TV shows take place before or after the year 2021?
Have we already passed the time of Lost in Space and The Jetsons?
When Nineteen Eighty-Four was published in 1949, the year 1984 seemed a long way off. Now, 1984 seems like a long time ago. Blade Runner took place in the flying-car future of… 2019.
Living in the year 2021 means that we have now passed the setting of many sci-fi classics.
But what about classic TV shows? Did these shows take place before or after 2021? The answers might surprise you!

WHAT? No "Space: 1999" reference? I'm sure Millennials would miss that one.
8/13. Sci-Fi's another genre that's never really held my interest, along with westerns.
11/13--never heard of ufo and jabberjaw
You have never heard of UFO?
A bit cheesy by today's "we have to be dark" standards, but it was thought-provoking never the less.

I just finished watching "Thunderbirds" on Amazon and I should have known what year it took place in.
As far as "Jabberjaw" goes, I never watched it so I guessed...wrong. And on number 6: "The Twilight Zone" episode, I don't think I ever saw it, so I guessed.....wrong again.
