I have just gained a whole new respect for Irwin Allen in the space of 6 minutes. If I ever complain about the crapiness of special effects in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea again, may God strike me dead. Anybody who takes a Rolls through the Drive Thru window of a Jack in the Box is pure class.
what I liked about his shows is the realistic look of them...in "The Time Tunnel" those were real computers in the background. He bought up some old surplus computers. I just was always fascinated with watching the time tunnel and all those flashing lights on the computers in the background.
@whiskeyify those were not real computers just props, no one would throw away any compuers back in those days, they were just flashing lights mounted on aluminum and cardboard.
"Lost in Space" Fan here ! When I was a kid and read the name Allen, on the Lost in space credits ,,,I thought it read "Irwin Alien" !........(I really Did) !
@ziggy72170 Irwin really was an alien. He was actually the first Conehead and his first name was actually Beldar before he changed it to the more Earth like Irwin. Danger Will Robinson!!! Danger!!! : )
Irwin and his comb over/weave or whatever that thing was. I'll never understand in a million years why guys do that. The worst I ever seen was in a Dunkin donuts once, where this guy was standing in front of me who had actually started his comb-over from the back of his neck and had this long mess of hair combed all the way to the front of his forehead then tied in a knot! I mean WTF? Does this dude actually think people are going to say, "Gee, what a full head of hair you have!" LOL
@JamesTKirkCobain irwin allen used to burn lizards with cigarettes and cigars to make them fight in prehistoric movies when chrissie hynde hears about this she is going to be mad as hell
Irwin Allen...a man who could squeeze water out of a rock.....cheap son-of-a-gun. Reused most, if not all of his sets from "Lost In Space" or "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" or "The Time Tunnel".
Irwin made a lot of great movies. The Towering Inferno is pretty good, especially considering the time it was made (pre-CGI).
Irwin may have been a great guy (I love the story that Jack in the Box was his favorite restaurant), but The Swarm is still a piece of shit. Sorry, Mr. Allen.
@GoblinGirl : The fact that it was made pre-CGI was precisely what helped to make it good. The crap they do today all looks like a glorified videogame.
I got to meet Stella Stevens in 1981, and she was the most beautiful and awesome actress you could imagine. Very friendly and giving. I grew up on these films, they will always be special!
Stella Stevens is hilarious and funny how telling the truth is appreciated everywhere except Hollywood and Washington. I detest phony pretentious people who bullshit, Stella is the real deal.

Want to see how good he was?
Watch "Towering Inferno" then watch "2021."
Irwin made it look so easy that anyone thought they could do it.
2012 showed how wrong they were.

IRWIN AND THE 'DO'.
As I mentioned to a friend of mine who also likes Irwin's movies and TV series: Irwin might have died in his 80s, but his hair was barely 40!
