Stam Fine Reviews looks at a short lived series from the late 70’s. Man from Atlantis starred future Dallas star Patrick Duffy as Mark Harris, a man with unique aquatic abilities but no memory of where he has come from.
Man from Atlantis began well with four made-for-television movies in 1977 and was followed by a 13 episode series that seemed to have been less well thought out. Man from Atlantis meandered through stories involving an imp, a rogue, a giant jellyfish, a murderous santa claus impersonator. Some are good, others less so.

I loved this series as a kid and so did my Grandma. We used to watch it together at her house.

Was a huge fan of this series, when DALLAS began filming it's first season here Patrick Duffy was doing a local telethon, I called in and spoke to him. Told him how huge a fan I was of ATLANTIS, he immediately invited me to visit him on the filming location of DALLAS, there I met the cast and Patrick graciously signed all my ATLANTIS memorabilia I had at the time...35 years later met up with him again for a premiere of the DALLAS reboot, he was just as nice and funny as he was all those years ago. Thanks for the retrospect of the series, even though you were a bit harsh, all these 70s series were a bit cheesy, but there lies their charm.

I really miss that show!

I remember trying to swim like this guy when I was in first grade and almost drowning. Good times. Holy crap the “In Search Of” gag killed me. Three times!
-
All I can remember from watching this as a child was the wiggly swimming.

This show made me fall in love with the ocean

Thank you Stam Fine for revisiting another TV gem from my childhood with the customary laugh out loud moments.

Loved it

I was 11 when this came out and I loved it. My mom hated it and called it The Man With The Fins. Patrick Duffy has been known as such in our house ever since!

You are all true tv fans if you remember this show!

Another series I watched back in the later 70's lying on the loungeroom floor with my mum behind me in her favourite chair..nice memories of long gone times.

Great, I managed to subscribe before that channels blows up. We Germans just love to be members with a low number, you see. :) Great work - thank you very much for the Duffybumps!
-
I fondly remember this show. And I distinctly recall the episode with Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I actually watched Dallas when it premiered because I recognized Patrick Duffy. Only now with this video do I see how much he resembled a young Bill Bixby, especially in the TV movies
-
I like to watch the pilot and one or two of the episodes for a mental cooldown on hot summer days. The intro is pure poetry, and Duffy in a speedo is amazing! 😁

Great review, thanks. I used to look forward to this shivering by candle light in '78 during the Winter of Discontent in the UK, hoping that there wouldn't be another power cut due to striking electricity workers -- good times!

Love this on TV

I'm trying to type thru tears of laughter, Stam is in VERY good form (as always) on this one. "Whaaat?"..."Whaaat?" and 'In Search Of'. The best way to re-experience these old silly shows.😂
