Great music by John Williams. He is credited in the Lost in Space TV show as "Johnny Williams" which gives you some idea how old this series is. I think some of the music was also from "The Day the Earth Stood Still." (the Theremin stuff by Bernard Hermann)
Im reading alot of the comments first of all Lost In Space was not a low budget show. It had one of the most expensive pilots ever made for a tv show in its time.The reason the show became "Camp" is it was competing up against Batman,The ratings began to drop so in order to maintain the audience hence came the camp ,schlock part of it.Afterall Batman was total schlock.At the end of the 3rd season all the actors were told there would be a 4th season,then for some unknown reason it was canceled.
GREAT post - Thank You. Good info too, filmed in color because of budget, etc. Many fun comments as well. Nice to know so many have experienced something very similar in watching the various seasons. Loved this show in strip syndication - every day after Jr high school my best friend Randy & i watched. Didn't know how much fun it was, really. Times gone by.
Love this show since I was 4 in 1965, and when the Jupiter 2's engines whent to a high whine, and the ship started glowing with electrostatic corona and lifted off the Earth at Alpha Control in Florida, I was hooked with the awe and beauty and high adventure of it all, and I kn ew what I wanted to do with my life, and after years of hard styud, I am doing it. John William's masterful and exciting music, and LB A bbot's and the Lydecker Bros. masterful SPFX made it all so cool and realistic!
