The science fiction television series Lost in Space first aired in 1965, and it ran for a total of three seasons and 83 episodes before its eventual end in 1968. The show was both created and produced by Irwin Allen, who had a passion for science fiction. The year before
Lost in Space first aired, Irwin Allen also created the television series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, which ran from 1964 to 1968. Later, Allen would also create two more science fiction television shows: The Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants.

Lost in Space, however, was unique from Allen's other science fiction shows for a variety of reasons. All 29 episodes of the first season of Lost in Space were filmed solely in black and white. However, in seasons 2 and 3, the film changed to vibrant color. The tone of the show also shifted drastically between seasons. At the time, trends in tv shows changed rapidly, and the creators knew the show would have to adapt. The wild changes in every season helped to keep the show running until it ended in 1968.
The constant changes to the tone of the series made it one of the more interesting television shows of the time period. The show focused on a family called the Robinsons, a zany family who pioneered the vast reaches of outer space. The first season was more adventurous, while the second season introduced more campy humor to keep up with new fashions and trends in television. By the third season, Lost in Space underwent a complete change. Rather than having each episode contribute to a larger arc, they became more anecdotal in nature. In this format, each episode brought a new adventure to the Robinson family as they
traveled through outer space.
Of course, no matter how religiously you may have watched this show, there are bound to be a few fun facts that you never noticed. In today's video, we're going to take a look at some of the wild things that went on behind the scenes. Make sure you stick around until the very end, where we'll reveal which famous composer spent his early days working on the show's theme song!

Yes... Born in 59 also in some urban developed area in the distant Brazil when and where a black and white TV set was a rare jewell to any Brazilian middle class boy... Along standing with bright voice actors, Allen's "lost in space" was a hallmark in the American perception of humanity in our living room during the 60/70s. It was an unique alternative future and pathway to all the humanity: the 60s traditional family of pioneers with all the traditional values of our common culture. Amazingly in that show, the humanity was impermeable and immune to the superb and powerful technologies they carried on with themselves, including automation and robotics: that familial society was the eternal technological and scientific heyday of humanity. About nuclear force and other forces: Maureen -- "love is the strongest force in the universe." Brazil

Irwin Allen was told to ''cut costs'' even further . the cast was under the impression it was having a 4th season, until Allen told them, that he could no longer produce the show with such budget cuts. there was to be a 4th season, until money and greed showed it's evil hand. i just wish that they could have had a special one night only, to allow the fans of the show a closure and find there way back home. grew up loving this show. thanks Fact Verse, i just subscribed.

Would probably have been a better ending had they found their way to the original destination of Alpha Centauri.. the show could have ended with them finally arriving to find other colonists had already arrived and are thriving, or a horizon shot of several 'second wave' colonist ships approaching.. making radio contact and... roll final credits.

I absolutely loved the show, I was aged 9 through to 12 when the show aired and it could have gone on forever as far as I was concerned. Jonathan Harris was a great actor as was Guy Williams and I was disapointed that he didn't get more air time and felt as though he was not really appreciated on the show. After all he did play Zorro and was an action Movie star when he came to the show. Heres a little known fact, in the fifties Jonathan Harris had a sitcom where he was a hotel manager with an overly bossy wife and a bell boy come everything named Manuel that centered around the family dynamic and the hotel guests who were guest stars of each episode.... remind you of a british show from the early seventies? Oh and Jonathan Harris was the first person to be called a " Special Guest Star".

Absolutely my favorite sci-fi TV show of all time!! I was born in 1961 and saw this show when I was five. I was instantly hooked for the rest of my life. and now I am 60 and still hooked on it. I had the lunch box and the robot Plus the spaceship and all all the toys associated with the show. The series inspired me to start drawing spaceships and monsters and then superheroes and then I became a comic book artist freelance. Recently I added the Hulu app on my TV so I can watch every episode all over again. Long live lost in space!!!

The only thing I Didn't know was that they had won an award for those great costumes. The Lost in Space robot was created by the same guy who created Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet. Robby the Robot co-starred with Robot B9 on at least one episode of the show. John Williams actually computed TWO theme songs for the series. The new theme was used in the third season.

The actor who played the father wanted a more serious take like what the first season offered. What I wish they had thought of was changing it up. Have a few comedic episodes then have a serious one. A more balanced take like this could have had the show survive. Also, if they had the comedic episodes advance the same plot as the serious ones would have been interesting. One thing which I never could understand involved Dr. Smith. He seemed to get the Robinsons into problems every week. I am surprised they didn't punish him (in universe) by forcing him into a sleeper tube.

Irwin Allen missed a tremendous opportunity for having the series last a few more years. He had great actors. All the show needed was better scripts. The first year was captivating, for the most part, but then the show started getting silly. In an interview for Archive of Television, Bill Mumy said that he had approached Allen with a script for a movie and his response to Mumy was : "Who authorized you to write a scrip?" Unbelievable. Tremendous opportunities that were missed along the way.

My Dad, not a SF fan, used to shake his head and say "if they'd only get rid of that guy" (Dr. Smith). Smith started out as a sinister villain and became a screeching buffoon. The show had all the elements of a great show, a stellar cast, and parts of it (especially the robot) are iconic, but the scripts became absurd and lazy as hell.

I was addicted to the show (in syndication) growing up in the 70's. Our local UHF station would broadcast Lost in Space followed by Star Trek every afternoon, and that was a staple for me and my friends back then. I grew tired of the farcical nature of the show as the seasons went on, and became more of a die-hard Trekkie. I'll tune into the original series now and then, but it just does not hold up. Loved the movie in the late 90's. It had potential to be more. But I must say that the revision to Lost in Space on Netflix was INCREDIBLE!!! Loved it! I thought that Parker Posey brought a great, sociopathic and diabolical edge to Dr. Smith that was missing in the original series after the first few episodes. The ensemble was well cast, but unlike the original series, each episode was part of the overall story arc.

I definitely feel that the show was cancelled too early. I'm sure the writers could have come up with a 4th season that could have returned to a bit more serious season like the 1st season was.

I wish the rest of the season was like Season 1. Like most Irwin Allen series it never had a ending or resolution. It deserved one though. Overall Lost In Space(just the name which represents the concept) would inspire, Space:1999 and Star Trek: Voyager.

With the exception of a few episodes, Season 1 was excellent. I think the filming in black and white made the show even better. They started filming in color at the start of Season 2, which made every planet look exactly the same, and quite phony looking. However, color enhanced the in-space episodes, making the appearance of space look more realistic.

Lost in space should have lasted many more years than it did. There could have been many more plotlines and many more dimensions that the Jupiter 2 and the Robinsons could have explored. This show is an excellent example of how Irwin Allen was able to recreate his imagination and place it into the minds of generations.

@dacritter8397 4 жыл бұрын

Had the show not ended after three seasons I think it unlikely that it would have become the beloved classic for generations that it is because the 'kids' would have naturally grown up rather than being forever young and capturing the hearts of each 'next' generation. I was alive when the show aired but too young to watch it. I caught it in syndication every day after school along with Gilligan's Island, Speed Racer, and Ultra Man. LiS aired for decades. I don't know, but it may still be on the air.

While growing up this show always fascinated me!!!!!!! It gave me a thriving love for both science and science fiction that i still love now with a passion!!!!! Because of this show i watched and enjoyed ALL the coverage of the Apollo moon landings!!!!! I always noticed the shift from black a white to full color for the 2nd and 3rd seasons and the shift in story telling at the beginning of the third season!!!!!! My thanks to Irwin Allen John Williams( great music by the way) an the cast and crew for fun excited 😁 enjoyable and excellent 83 episodes!!!!! Jonathan Harris Bill Mumy and the Robot made the show what it was!!!!!!!

The best episodes were during the 1st season, black and white episodes! With exception of a few, Irwin Allen went goofy in allowing the most ridiculous episodes in the remaining colorized programs! Many of those reminded me of skits of Gilligan's Island with such goofiness! The Black and white episodes were more realistic and the plots were more about technology rather than humans turning into vegetables! Too bad that Lost In Space went goofy, it may have lasted quite a bit longer!

Bill Mumy said in an interview that CBS did renew the show for a fourth season but wanted to do it with a reduced budget. Irwin Allen thought he couldn't make a quality show on the money offered so he decided not to take the offer. But at the end of the third season, the cast expected to return for another and was surprised when it didn't happen.

A fourth season of Lost In Space would’ve been interesting as they thought they could develop the characters of Don and Judy to move more into family life with possibly having a child. The show did end rather abruptly with the last episode being the Junk Planet. Interestingly enough was that Dr. Smith and the Robot were not in the original unaired pilot but they were in the last scene of the last episode.

I find it interesting that the Dr. Smith and B9 were not in the original in-aired pilot but they were in the last scene of the last show The Junk Planet walking of screen episode 83. I was told that a fourth season was planned but CBS cut the series because it was too expensive. Billy Mumy spoke to Irwin Allen about a season 4 after cancellation but the conversation, I heard, didn’t go so well. Thank you for uploading this video and in my opinion the show still stands as the best sci-fi television series ever created and I am 58 years old and still watch it in syndication on MeTV.

From what I've read, when the pilot was made there was no Dr. Smith or robot. The actors on the show had signed contracts and John Williams was given top billing as the star of the show. CBS execs felt the show needed a villain. When Jonathan Harris was asked to be in the show, he wanted top billing. It was explained to him that Guy Williams has it in his contract that he is the star. So Harris offered to do the show if he was listed as special guest star.
