This one was called "The Starlost" a Canadian production that aired in the
Washington DC area back in 1973.  As I recall the first episode aired the same
week "Silent Running" made it's first appearance on TV (not doing too well
at the box office).

Keir Dullea did indeed play the lead role of "Devon" in this notably bad
(but still fun) production.

"And there's this ship's wheel on the bridge, see?"  "And it's turing
back and forth 'cause the ship is totally lost in space and out of
control, see?......."
