Overview
Underwater tales that made for one of the most popular syndicated series of its time, and, as TV Guide remarked in 1959, 'an epic so watery that Lloyd Bridges' colleagues tell him they have to drain their TV sets after watching his show.' Its mix of action beneath the ocean surface and plotlines involving Mike Nelson saving people and solving crimes made for a major hit that resurfaced in 1987 with a remake starring former TV Tarzan Ron Ely.
