Jason of Star Command is a 1978–79 live action television series by Filmation.[3] The series revolves around the exploits of space adventurer Jason (Craig Littler) and his colleagues, including Professor E.J. Parsafoot (Charlie Dell) and the pocket robot "Wiki" (formally W1K1). The series also stars Sid Haig as the evil Dragos, and, in the first season, James Doohan.[1] Jason was inspired by Filmation's 1977 live-action show Space Academy, and used the same robot, Peepo.[4]
