TV pilot movie called Planet Earth was created and written by Gene Rodenberry.

A man wakes from suspended animation in the 22nd century to find a world ruled by women and men are slaves called Dinks! Really?

Anyone ever see this? Was it any good?

Saw it years ago. Sort of like the old Logan's Run TV series. They wake up wander around and either solve a small isolated community's problems or destorys that community. Each community took some element of current sociey and amplified it. I remember living forever by organ replacement and some guys who lived in an old zoo with the animals and talked to them.
Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go?

I seen the plot episodes on YouTube a few years ago, while looking around a (now defunct) channel that held The Starlost episodes. Planet Earth was OK. Yeah, I'm a Gamma World fan and all, but it did intrigue all that much. I was most disappointed with how it ended.

Did they really label men Dinks?
