I was reading a book today on science fiction television programs from 1959 to 1989.While leafing through -- it was more a leafing than a real reading -- I came across a television series I had never heard of before: The New People ran on ABC from 1969 - 1970.
Here is the blurb that appeared above the main body of the article. (It may be the opening title voice-over.) See if it reminds you of anything...
"Forty American college students, part of a Southeast Asia cultural exchange tour, are marooned on a lost island in the South Pacific after their plane crashes. The island is Bomano, once designated as the site for an atomic bomb test.
The students find a makeshift city, left behind by the Atomic Energy Commission. The castaways, realizing that they're thousands of miles away from the nearest shipping lanes, must now build their own world. For them, it's year one."
... there were two accompanying photos from The New People. It was kind of eerie.
