Four years after STAR TREK ended, CBS broadcast GENESIS II, a new pilot by Gene Roddenberry. It dealt with Dylan Hunt, a 20th century man who awakens from suspended animation in 2133 -- and a brand new Earth.
Using the Sub Shuttle (photo above), Dylan Hunt (a name reused in the Roddenberry-created ANDROMEDA TV series) and the PAX Team of friends, travel from society to society, encountering different social problems and solving them.
The series was in development, and the first season was roughed out. But CBS pulled the plug, deciding to go with a PLANET OF THE APES TV series.
