Review of The New People

The New People (1969–1970)
Epilogue or is it reprise?
23 October 2004
Well it seems THE NEW PEOPLE is back in another, more contemporary, guise. Not by that title, of course, but the young-and-telegenic-people-stranded-on-an-island series which just hit the airwaves is smack dab of that theme, but with to-day's twist: SURVIVOR with monsters.

I do not know the name of this programme which I certainly will never see, but instead of the social commentary ca. 1970 we get "reality t.v." plus PREDATOR or ALIEN. Instead of tabula raza for a speck of mankind (St. Thomas's UTOPIA?), we get sacrifice of the attractive to the evil gods, the Minotaur and all that.

Bring back the old series. I saw so few episodes maybe it will do me good.
