The series was in fact called "The Starlost".  It was conceived (and the
pilot was written) by Harlan Ellison.  When Ellison saw the resulting
program, he was *extremely* unhappy with it, and refused to have his name
appear in the credits.  (He supplied them with a pseudonym, "Cordwainer
Bird" that conveyed some small portion of his contempt).  Ellison subse-
quently wrote a book called "The Starcrossed", dealing with the whole
incident.

Ben Bova was the technical consultant for the series.
