Blake's 7 is a British SciFi series. From BBC, I think? There wasn't any "Independent" TV in Britain in the 1970s, was there?
Anyway, as far as I know it was only shown on PBS stations in some of the larger markets in the US. It never hit the mainstream here. Little wonder. It's got the same lack of production values as Dr. Who (horribly cheap SFX) without the clever stories. So it's not surprising that many Americans never heard of it.
