Introduction
Man from Atlantis is a short-lived American science fiction/fantasy television series that ran for 13 episodes on the NBC network during the 1977-1978 season, following four television films that had aired earlier in 1977.
Ratings success by these movies led to the commissioning of a weekly series for the 1977-1978 season, but it was cancelled at the end of the first season due to a declining audience and high production costs.
Outline

They discover hundreds of strange, blue, intelligent spores that have taken over Mark’s body, attempting to find a way back into space. However, they do not know that Mark will die if he does not return to water within a few hours.
