Who narrates this thing?!?! (dammit)


I wanna think it's Bradbury—I know he didn't like this production, but perhaps he recorded his narration at an early stage—or maybe they just pulled some geezer off the sidewalk ...

At any rate, I like that narration, somehow ...

i thought it was darren mcgavin but doing a normal professional voice, since after all he is one of the few survivors of humans and the narrator is talking about the history... it sounds like him to me

I'm watching this right now and it definitely is not McGavin's voice. Appears to be totally uncredited, and I can't begin to recognize it.

This is bugging me too. It isn't McGavin, I'm sure about that.

It would appear that it is none other than "Uncle Owen" from Star Wars (1977) fame -- the late Phil Brown.

I could have sworn it was Bozo Miller.

Life's like that, isn't it? Undercooked then over-baked and finally insipient.

James Henry "Bozo" Miller is credited as "Narrator" on Space Zone Samurai (1978). He left show business and after a series of odd jobs ran for and was elected the Mayor of Santa Monica. People voted for him because they thought he was Larry Harmon. He oversaw the restoration of a portion of the 10 Freeway damaged by the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

He was later sued by Larry Harmon.

I know that it isn't, but when I first watched it, I thought it was Robert Vaughn.
