Has anyone else seen this 1973 Canadian Sci Fi TV show, The Starlost?

It was a super low budget adaptation of of Harlan Ellison's book, Phoenix Without Ashes - a story about a huge generation ship on its way to colonize a planet, and society on it collapses back to a primitive state and each section of the ship is like a different tribe. Meanwhile the ship malfunctions from lack of care and the engines are offline and it's drifting into a star.

I was like 9 when this came out, and totally oblivious to the abysmal quality of the production, I was just so fascinated with the concepts here. It might be partly responsible for getting me into Sci Fi. (Lost in Space and Star Trek were big reasons tho too..)

Yes, I remember this show. The scripts got revised so badly that Harlan Ellison got pissed off enough to use his Cordwainer Bird pseudonym, the budget was bad enough that it made classic Doctor Who look lavish and expensive, and it featured Walter Koenig in a couple of episodes doing prep work for his role on Babylon 5.
