Harry Broderick (Andy Griffith, TV's "The Andy Griffith Show") is not like any junk dealer you've met. Harry has dreams, and one of them is to go to space, reclaim all of the useless satellites and salvage them. He builds his own spaceship, The Vulture, out of junk and brings on former astronaut Skip Carmichael (Joel Higgins, TV's "Silver Spoons") and fuel expert Melanie Slozar (Trish Stewart, TV's "The Young and the Restless"). Together the team goes into space to get a dead communications satellite, but the government wants them stopped, as there is secret information on it. Newly remastered.

Great!
I loved the pilot and until recently I didn't know that they made a tv show.

NOT the pilot episode
The "editorial review on amazon states"A junk dealer builds his own spaceship in order to salvage space junk.So... I assumed (along with the misleading picture on the dvd case) that this was the pilot episode and it was called "golden orbit". made sense to me. Anyway...when I received the disk, I realize that this is NOT the pilot episode where the ship was made, but in fact just a regular episode in the short-lived series. Should have looked it up in the movie database - would have realized this and not wasted my money.

Andy Griffith is in it.
Good story line. Anything with Andy Griffith is good.

About time!
I've waited ages for Salvage 1 to be released on dvd, and though it's not the complete series, I was quick to snap this up when it was released in the hope there will be more to come. I certainly wasn't disappointed. Picture and sound quality were both very good. Hopefully one of these days they'll release the whole series.

Good Buy.
This and "Hard Water " staring Andy Griffith as a junk dealer that builds a rocket and go to the moon.

I loved this series as much as I hated Mayberry RFD
I loved this series as much as I hated Mayberry RFD. This was creative and, for its time, cutting edge stuff. I certainly hope the rest of the episodes become available in the near future.
