regarding SPACE 1999: I stomached one episode at the age of nine.  The
only reason that I watched the second half was that it gave me an excuse
not to do something less pleasant, though I can no longer imagine what that
could be.  I watched 10 minutes of another episode a few years later,
on the off chance that I had misjudged the series.  I was totally correct
in my initial evaluation of the show.  It doesn't even qualify as grade 
'B'!  I might give it an 'F' to prevent bodily injury.  Speaking in
time travel tenses, the show /was not/will not/is not worth the film it
was circulated on, much les the production costs!!!

About shapechangers in Star Trek.  Besides Garth, there were the
two 'magicians.'  I don't remember the name of the episode, but Sulu,
McCoy, Kirk, Spock, and a few Red-shirts were captured by shapechanged
aliens.  At the end of the show they turned out to be small, blue
green critters that were a cross between a starfish, an amoeba, and a
chicken.
