Found in a musty old trunk in an even mustier attic, is what we believe to be the only surviving TVSciFi Zine. For those who don't know, a Zine is a website that existed before the Internet--a paper version containing something called "print." Created in basements on mimeograph machines and photocopiers, by hippies high on toner fluid, it kept scifi fandom alive long enough for the future to get here. For that we are forever grateful. We have scanned it here for your groovy pleasure.
Below is the only surviving TVSciFi Zine, from the fall of 1966--groovy, man, groovy.

I remember getting this rag as a kid. I couldn’t wait for each issue. It was great for its time but it took too long for it to warm up to Star Trek. Later on it was also too critical of Land of the Giants which was my favorite show when I was a kid.
Still, I’m glad to see that Bill’s son Zaphod has revived TVSciFi for the Internet.
They should make a Giant's movie

Land of the Giants was cool. The should remake it or make a movie. They makin Speed Racer into a movie an Giants was better than Racer in ways.

Speed Racer was a cartoon. Giants was a real show with real people and really big problems. You can’t compare them.
