I too cannot recall the name of the show, though I believe it was the Spacelost,
but I do recall that it was written (originally) by Harlan Ellison.  Apparently
the producers screwed around with it so much that he removed his name from the
show.  There was a book written about the experience, I believe by Ben Bova,
called the Starcrossed (?), that detailed the experience though in a fictional
account.  I seem to remember Ellison claiming he would sue because Bova wrote
verbatim what Ellison wanted to write.
