The submarine "Cetacean" on MAN FROM ATLANTIS was one of the coolest things about the show. I've often wondered what became of the miniature. The answer: it was auctioned off last year, as detailed here... http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6321548
Awesome. I LOVED that sub. Still do. I built my own version using plastic eggs and a nacelle strut from an Enterprise model. And lots of gray paint.

Well, you're not alone. I found this image somewhere about seven years ago, provenance unknown. Obviously a scratch-built fan model:

I spoke to Patrick Duffy at a con last year and he said that there were plans to release the whole series.
Hooray!

Warner Archive is now taking pre-orders for the MOD DVD release of the four "Man From Atlantis" TV-movies and the 13-episode series.
Here's the release announcement:
Special Offer: Get both Man from Atlantis collections for only $49.95!
Man from Atlantis: The Complete TV Movies Collection (1977) Remastered
Mysterious mer-man Mark Harris washed ashore on the nations TVs in early '77 and quickly became a breakout hero. America fell hard for Atlantean amnesiac, generating big ratings for the Man from Atlantis pilot movie and its three subsequent follow-up TV movies. Starring newcomer Patrick Duffy and overseen by Robert Justman (Adventures of Superman, Star Trek, Then Came Bronson, Probe/Search), the original TV movies easily swim between the parallel genres of Science Fiction and Super-Heroics, creating a fantasy that is still fun and fresh today. This 2 disc collection contains all 4 TV movies. Also stars Belinda Montgomery. PILOT(Newly remastered!): Mark Harris washes ashore, possessing strange sea-faring powers but no memories. The Death Scouts: Mark battles scuba diver abducting aliens. The Killer Spores: Intelligent spores from space possess Mark in a bid to return to the yawning galactic gulf. The Disappearances: Scientists all over the world are disappearing, including Mark's associate, Elizabeth.
Man from Atlantis: The Complete Television Series (1977) Remastered
Following the success of the four TV movies, Man from Atlantis was quickly commissioned as a weekly series for the 1977-1978 TV season. Sadly (unless you're a fan of Dallas!) the series failed to catch the same size audience as the TV movies, and the plug was pulled after 13 episodes. Gladly we can re-present them all to you, now completely remastered! So don your yellow trunks and hop aboard the Oceanic Research submarine Cetacean while its brave crew heads out investigate the mysteries of the deep and battle the villains of the sea. Starring Patrick Duffy, Belinda Montgomery, and Alan Fudge, with guest stars that include Victor Buono (in several episodes as the villainous Mr. Schubert), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pernell Roberts, Rene Auberjonois and Pat Morita. 4 disc, 13 episode collection.

Man From Atlantis was the first American TV series to be shown in the People's Republic of China in 1980, with the title translated to "The Man from the Bottom of Atlantic". It was at the time when the "Gang of Four" lost power to Deng Xiaoping, and science research began to get attention, along with economic development. In Brazil it was named O Homem do Fundo do Mar (The Man from the Deep Sea in Portuguese). In Portugal, the title was identical to the original, O Homem da Atlântida, being screened on RTP1. In Kuwait, it was released in the early 1980s in English with Arabic subtitles. In the Netherlands, the series was broadcast by TROS broadcasting association, from 15 June 1978 until 5 September 1980. The show preserved its name in France as well, where it aired as "L'Homme de l'Atlantide".

Ordered. I'll get a kick out of seeing this show again. I practically memorized my audio tapes of it as a kid, back when there was no home video, and there weren't enough episodes to syndicate, so it seemed MFA was gone forever.

I made audio tapes of several episodes, too!
