SUMMARY : An amnesiac man found in the water is brought to an emergency room. Dr. Elizabeth Merrill (Belinda Montgomery) who was called in to look at him discovers that he is not human, he needs to be placed in the water to live like a fish. His physiology is different, he has webbed hands and is sensitive to light, when he is in the water he is strong and when he is out of the water for a long time, he could die. They are sure that he comes from the undersea civilization of Atlantis and give him the name Mark Harris. Harris is subsequently recruited by the Foundation For Oceanic Research, a governmental agency that explored the depths of the ocean in a sophisticated submarine called the Cetacean and works with his human friends, Dr. Elizabeth Merrill and C.W. Crawford (Alan Fudge) joins Dr. Merrill in several exploratory missions aboard a high-tech submarine too. They encounter several bizarre phenomena, including portals leading to other dimensions, a substance capable of altering personalities, an impish creature whose touch causes a mental return to childhood, and the scheme of a portly millionaire, Mr. Schubert (Victor Buono), a devious man, to melt the polar icecaps.


OPINION : What I like ? Don't know exactly why I was so crazy about this series but Mark Harris was my first love ! (ya' I was very young when I watched this series). Now, when I watch it again, I still like it. Have to say that it's a good 80's Sci-Fi series. oh and like his yellow boxer : So lengendary ! ;P
Best scene : Can't remember a lot but I've always liked when he is swimming like a dolphin.

What I dislike ? "Choux-fleur" huh.... SHUBERT ! Poor guy, how many curses I put on him ;P
