She was definitely the best part of that show, but let's not forget Princess Ardalla (Pamela Hensley) and a multitude of guest stars like Markie Post, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dorthy Stratton (Miss Cosmos), and one of the Landers sisters (can't remember which). Biddi biddi biddi.

Anne Lockhart was also in one episode. Think it might have been the last episode of the first season.
The 2nd season was nearly as unwatchable as Galactica 1980.

Earl, you did a beautiful job on that rocket. You know, Centuri really did make a lot of cool kits!

Good comparison.

Thanks Joe. Yes, Centuri had some unique kits back in the day. Of course, Estes did too, and each had their own areas that they were really strong in.

But often times there were little design elements of a kit or whole new approaches to doing something in the Centuri kits that I would not have thought of. It is a shame that they they were not able to hold on through the early 80s and the Damon-era cost cutting (some I'm sure mandated because of the high inflation and tougher economic times of the late 70s and early 80s).

But, their legacy still lives on and I'll keep building the vintage kits that I have.
