November 28, 1971: Sci-fi TV movie Earth II premiered on ABC.
The government of Earth II solved its problems with a direct democracy process known as a “D&D”.
Don’t you agree this would be a better world if all major conflicts were solved by playing D&D?
Wait — I’m sorry, I’ll read that again. In the movie those initials stood for “Discussion and Decision.”
Never mind.
When this came out I would’ve been in its prime demographic–a 16 year-old science fiction fan–and I still don’t remember it. The trailer looks a lot like the stuff Space Station ’76 hopes to milk laughs from.
