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.
I LOVED it when the robot who looked like an oversized wacuum cleaner shouted: ” Danger! Danger! Emergency! Emegency! Warning! Warning!”
LOL! LOL! Not to mention the funky silver suits… XD
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!
@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!
@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).

The “base pod” looks like the mini sub set out of SeaView…

@danzamphi Amen
@TomatoeAssassin John Robinson always reminded me of my own dad…So much so that when Williams died, it hurt almost as much.

I really hated it when Guy Williams appeared less and less. He was always the dad I never had.
Loved this 44 years ago, still holds up well today, in technology, SPFX, and pure adrenalin ADVENTURE! Even had John Williams’ music!
I skipped so many days of school to watch this, i cannot recall how many times. All i have to say. TIME well spent.
@flapdoodle64 This is still better than that fiasco/shitfest known as “JJ Abrams’ Star Trek”!
Man i love this show. It is SO Campy and dated, but so cool! Man, those tinfoil space suits are so groovy.
@variousiroiro why not try hulu.com?

@MrRedFredSaid Actually Rbot was a bad guy in the first few episodes. He would only take rders from Dr. Smith (who was also a bad guy.)
Spare me your poisonous Barbs Major
best music by the great john williams
