If you killed Dr, Smth, the series would be cut in half, since a lot of the plots involved rescuing Dr.Smith from something he'd got himself caught up in, or John and Don trying to get everyone out of some other mess he had caused.
Great to see this again - still love that Robot - but as with all things they went too far and the last few stories were very poor. Wonder if they'll make a movie - oh yes - they did - and a confused mess of good ideas and excellent effects ruined by a naff story. They never learn.....
The show started out great, but when I changed to color, Irwin Allen made it too silly, too comical. Allen was trying too hard to match the Batman series (starring Adam West).
I remember very well, watching the original episode when the series premiered and being absolutely facinated by this show.
I watched most of the episodes on a regular basis, but started getting pretty bored becasue there was never any space action. Always on the same planet meeting new aliens.
It finally hit rock bottom during the 'vegitable man' episode. Even the cast realized, at that point, that it was all down hill. from there.
the appearance of the space pot in Kidnapped in Space is a mystery never was explained "where it came from" The 1st time that hatch was seen in Wild Adventure
Don's coming out with a space suit appears to be a storage room. Noted two laser rifles on the back wall, then in season 3 it was an air-lock docking bay for the pod. Kind of odd about the hatch's vertical opening/closing. Guy Williams
began appearing less as season 2 progressed. Dr. Smith, Will, the Robot took center stage.
When I was young I imagined our backyard (which was pretty big) to be space and would get toy space-ships to 'crash land' on various parts of the garden or in the sand pit and then imagine how I could take off again before a disaster took hold etc..All based on Lost in Space and Land of the Giants episodes!
@9114102349 Right-o. Later in Season One, will controlled the Robot by trying to imitate Dr. Smith's voice and it's pitch, and it worked. At that point the Robot was no longer as much of a threat as he began to develop feelings and emotions.
If you recall, Smith sabotaged the Robot to destroy the Jupiter as it was en route to Alpha Centauri (first episode).
@supermanfan62 Spot on, mate! The situational music, from the J2 flight scenes, to John and Don laying eyes on the tattered relics and machines a dead alien civilization inside a cave, Williams' music hit the spot. Great composer!
I was obsessed with this show as a kid, especially the Jupiter 2. I loved it when they showed the spaceship traveling through space. It was too cool. Do ya'll remember when the show would end with: To Be Continued ... Same Time ... Same Channel.
In the third season, instead of a scene that "established" the following week's episode at the end ["To Be Continued Next Week! Same Time...Same Channel!"], a preview was shown instead [DICK TUFELD: "Stay tuned for some exciting scenes from next week's episode!"]. This one was for "Hunter's Moon" (September 27, 1967).
If they ever do a Proper Remake of Lost in Space and not that Nonsense from 1998. Who would be cast as Professor John Robinson ? Who would work as Dr. Maureen Robinson ? Who would be cast as Harmless Goof Dr. Zachary Smith ? Are there any well known kid actors that could play Will Robinson age Ten ? Or Should Will Robinson be simply a Girl chasing 15 Year old ?
I loved these 3rd season promos for the following week's episodes. I was disappointed that they were dropped when the series went into world wide syndication. But, we can now see them all restored in their full glory in the DVD release!
I don’t think you can compare the two series , they were both brilliant , however I loved Lost in Space and John Robinson was everything I wanted to be at 10 years old , handsome , strong and intelligent. What a fantastic series and the music by the great John Williams, it just don’t get any better than that, dated now of course but in its day it was awesome.
I know a lot of people who felt this way! I was the odd kid that just wated the robot as my friend! I had (and still do) the battery powered Remco Lost InSpace robot toy as a kid and took it everywhere!
I just love this series from the sixties. Just as nice as UFO. Last week I bought the first season on 8 dvd's for only 15 euro at cdwow. They should arrive in a week. Can't wait to watch them.
both "Startrek" & L.I.S were my most watched & favorites of all time. My parents wouldn't let me watch L.I.S because i would have nightmares after viewing, so when it came on (only 2 channels in black & white in those days in the UK) they put me in the kitchen till it was over, So i started digging a secret hole in the kitchen concrete wall, (under the kitchen table of coarse) after 1 month i nearly got through, but it was discovered & i got whacked hard. just shows how much i loved L.I.S hahaha
I'll never forget the shadows on backdrops and the hilarious beachball minefield which surrounded Judy when some aliens were feuding. Would watch it all again if they ran it in prime time.
Cool clip! II assume it came late in the show's run, since Penny & Will look so much older than when the show began. No TV villian was funnier than good ol' Dr Smith....who was the grand master at being a sniveling coward. I think the "Dr Smith" character was really an undercover proctologist whose secret mission was to find out if there are rings around Uranus.
AMEN brother. I'm gonna' be 45 and LIS is STILL a fave show of mine. The entire series proudly graces my DVD collection.
I watched it all the time in rerun in the early 70's (started when I was around 5 or 6)
Season Three had some true stinkers as the show became a travesty, but "Hunter's Moon", "Visit To A Hostile Planet" and "Condemned Of Space" were a few of the episodes that were worth watching.
