I remember watching this show when I was 12 and loving it! I got to meet Judson Scott at a Star Trek convention when I was around 28. I told him about how I had loved it and he was so surprised that anyone had remembered it. :-)

I was born in 75, and also remember watching this on my little 13" b/w tv. I too find it odd that this short-lived show that I saw in first grade has stuck with me - hauntingly, if you will, all these years.

I must have been 10 or 11 when I watched this and I was instantly captivated. I eagerly sought the TV Guide for each next episode and then I was devastated and confused when the best show on TV was so abruptly cancelled. It's astonishing to me I can have watched something once forty years ago and then watching it again--of all the shows why remember this one?--and after all this time it seems somehow so... familiar. Thank you for excavating this.

I remember this, Manimal, Automan and The Powers of Matthew Star as a kid. All great short lived shows.

I used to look forward to this every week, spring of '82 - I was 19 and may have had a crush on this man:) I can relate to all the others who say they remember it after so many yrs even though it was short-lived...

Born in 67 and I watched it. Cool concept the show had I remember.

I born in 72 and watch this tv series in the early 80's only once but i never forgot.. it's amazing that 30 some years I look on the internet not knowing the name or anything - i found it an that i can watch it again - only this time i can understand English back in the days only Spanish..

Carlos, I have a very similar reaction. I was born in '75 and this show made a big impression on me as a kid. Every once in a while I've thought, "Does anybody else even remember it?" So glad to see it again!

This show has been in the back of my mind for decades. Never knew what it was called. Finally watched an old episode of star trek tng and recognized the actor. Quick imdb search and here I am, sweet. Watched this when I was probably 5.

Thank you for finding and sharing these. I remember watching these as a kid in grade school and then it disappeared from the TV one day...Now it makes sense why I love ancient alien theories, pan flute music and Pre-Columbian cultures!!! oh and blonde blue eyed guys 😄

I was 12 y.o. i loved this show and was so bummed when it was cancelled.

I remember watching this show I don't think it was the pilot but it was in the early 1980 s we had a big black and white tv it was a floor model channels 2_13 . it stuck with me also. I remember going around as a kid holding my hand out in front of me and pretending to hold my medallion as it would blow and I would pretend to hear the music play and my glowing hand would cause diffrent things to happen lol I was born in 1972 I loved this show along with a few more from then the greatest american hero, knight ridder, the a team,manimal, auto man,the misfits of science, miami vice, remington steele, simon and Simon, the six million dollar man the hulk, wonder woman just to name a few it brings back childhood memories the tv channels we had 2_13 were pbs, nbc, abc and cbs

Ah, my first failed-pilot heartbreak. Also the first reason why I don't condone but do understand the Kathy Bates character in Misery.

I never forgot the series and always remembered the mystery

Nice to see the eighties again

Thank you! Even though it is poor quality...I saw all the series episodes when they were first broadcast, but I wasn't able to see the TV Movie prequel to the series. The never reran it on TV, and I'd really given up ever seeing it.

I think this is the movie I seen when I was 9 and loved it and never seen it since but always thought about it and wanted to see it again

i love the 80s

The Phoenix screened in Australia around the same era as Project UFO, In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy, and Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World. They all related to the UFO/Mysteries craze of that time, and it's fascinating to see how the cycle repeats itself with shows like The X Files, The Visitor, and even Ancient Aliens.

Was surprised to fins this! I liked that show & was unhappy it got cancelled after 5 shows. Quality no clear but was still a good watch!

I remember this show. It now reminds me of the fallen Angels mentioned in the book of Enoch. They came to teach mankind many things including the making of instruments of Death. The separation of fine stones, the fabrication of mirrors, the beautifying of eyelids for women, astronomy, and many other things.

Wow I couldn't remember the name but somehow I found it. I was only about 6 or 7 when I first seen this on T.V. watching it again for the first time is special. No word of a lie but it was in my mind, and I was thinking about it so I started looking and BAM just like that I was guided to it. Well thank you very much for uploading on hear. It was like a blast from the past!!! CHEERS!!! 😇

Yea me, my mom & dad used to watched this on television, good times!

If I remember correctly, I think I made a cardboard version of that medallion as a kid ... LOL... and to this day I've never forgotten his name was Benu

Seeing Judson Scott on an episode of X-Files had me looking up this program.

I wS drawn to this movie later I discovered I was able to see things in dreams that were warnings of my future and the world trade

It's v cool! It seems that the best episodes of a series r sometimes the pilot episodes

OMG! While I was watching this, I just pulled out a big peanut M&M that was TWO M&Ms that had formed TOGETHER! A Siamese TWIM&M! I have eaten hundreds of thousands of peanut M&Ms over many decades and, although I have seen many anomalies, I have never seen this. The lead actor in this "Phoenix" show reminds me of William Fichtner, by the way.

I really love the series and Judson Scott, and I'm sad that the 4 episodes after the Fire Within were never produced :( . Does anyone know how to find the unaired scripts? I hope someday someone will remake the series and make it full version!

Hey I remember this show the plot was very unique I guess that's why this show also stuck in my memory after so many years cool stuff too bad it was a short lived series with a little more imagination it had the potential to at least go one season

I thought this show was a figment of my imagination 😂 I was born in 76

1997 The Visitor was obviously influenced by The Phoenix similar themes albeit the former is more alien in nature. I'm not the only one who was haunted by this short lived series as a child and was confused when it suddenly disappeared. Obviously a couple of more decades didn't make any difference in people being able to hear the message of connectedness that the series relays because The Visitor only lasted 13 episodes. If you are a fan of The Phoenix and its themes I encourage you to check out the nineties series.

***** as I rewatched it decades later I realized it may have had low rating at the time, but the production values were very good for the time period.

this is another show that didn't take off. Its a shame not bad. It may make if it was released today

I remember watching this when it aired. It needs a reboot.

I remember the show being on television but don't remember the premise. When I discover Erich von Daniken's book, "Chariots of the Gods," in High School, this show came to mind. I had the biggest problem reconciling my Christian upbringing with what I saw with my eyes. This show helped me to understand alternative theories on human life on this earth.

wow - amazing

The amulet Benny wears also a company that builds substation transformers they also use a similar symbol with circle triangle they call it "Delta Star Inc." I discovered this in April 2023 in NYC

I never forgot this show, even though I watched only that one time when it aired as a kid. I also remember Automan and Manimal. A couple of others were (I forget) the titles but it was about a young boy who was raised by wolves, captured, and civilized, but whenever he would get into a fight he would revert back into a wolf state. Another one was Bigfoot and Wolfboy (or Wildboy)? but I think it was only on, on Saturday mornings.

This was an amazing show. I can't remember--of course I didn't watch anything but sports after 1972--when I saw something so interesting and intelligent. I was hoping this would turn out to be something I saw in late 1981, that I'd been searching for: a fascinating sci-fi of some kind involving an alien ship abducting and then returning two people, which I only saw a fragment of. So far it doesn't look like it's the same thing[I'm not finished yet 8/27/22], but this Phoenix thing is a real find. They probably canceled it because it was too good. Judson Scott really creates a fascinating character.

@henrybrowne7248

OK, I finished it. This would make an excellent film, let alone TV show. It wasn't the alien abduction thing, so the search continues . . But this Phoenix thing is so good I could actually re-watch it. I guess the series would consist of Denu[?]'s search for meaning and stuff.

The Phoenix show was so for ahead of its time, perhaps why it was not successful, because we are so much into the techno crap, now you can correlate, to the power of mind, and Mother nature and its possibilities of today.

i remember this, manimal, street hawk,voyagers, tales of the gold monkey , the master, i kinda wanna watch them all again

They should change a few things if they decide to do a remake, if only we could raise its popularity.

Given that he played Joachim in Star Trek II, it's a bit ironic that Judson Scott looks like a blonde Benedict Cumberbatch.
