My favorite show as a kid ....I was totally obsessed. Still love it today!

Loved watching it as a child in the sixties, and still love it. Angela and I share the same birthday, and yes, I too had a big crush on her. Interestingly, her sister Veronica starred in the original alien movie where she came to an unfortunate end in the jaws of the alien!

My favorite show as a boy! I remember seeing some of the 1st run shows; Wednesday at 7:30 PM. But I binged the show everyday when it went into syndication everyday after school. By the time I grew out of it in the early ‘70s, I graduated into the more mature Star Trek! Still love LIS for the nostalgia. Season One still holds up!

I grew up watching this as a very young child. I was hooked. I loved the adventures, the technologies, the robot and Dr Smith. I liked it in black in white. It made the show more surreal. Science fiction has always been a stable in my life, but few tv shows topped Lost In Space. That is, until Star Trek premiered. Once that started, Lost In Space fizzled out. I remember going to a toy store early 70's. I saw the B9 robot. It was huge and very realistic. I begged for It shamefully, but Christmas came and when I saw the size of one of my gifts, I knew It was the robot. We were best buddies. He kept me company every night. Especially when I became severely I'll and was hospitalized. Everyone loved my robot. Nurses, doctors, friends, family. Except for my family, that robot got me through a very tough time as a child. Never knew what became of him as the years passed, but Lost In Space was a truly awesome sci-fi tv show.......🌌JR

Love this show! I still watch it!

The original Lost in space in the 1960s I loved that program every episode Will Robinson was the best./and the robot.

Will (Billy) is a year younger than me. I have always thought what a wonderful 3 years of his life that would have been! He still talks with the wide eyed kids enthusiasm about Lost in Space, as he did back all those years ago.... Billy Mumy your a lucky man!

Loved this show as a kid of the 70s/80s. It was one of the shows I’d watch reruns as often as I could find it. Gilligans island and Ftroop were others I tried to catch.

Yes, I know the show got very silly after the first season, but overall, I loved it. It was a talented cast, but my favorite character was Dr. Smith. As a boy at the time, I envied "Will Robinson". Of course, I loved the robot as well, and that amazing spaceship, the Jupiter 2!

I grew up watching Lost in Space. It was part of my childhood. They dont make good shows like this anymore, which is sad. It was a different time back in the mid 1960's. I miss those good ole days, that's for sure! I wish i could have a Time Machine and go back to visit those ole days. TV has changed so much for the worse. I would love to watch the re-runs!! ❤

Never fear. Smith is here.

Nice job here, enjoyed the interviews, photos, and even the background image of out of focus colored lights. This program Lost in Space remains a sentimental favorite of mine; watched reruns in the 1970's with my sister. We're fortunate today to have it streaming and on discs. I still love Dr. Smith's ridiculous shenanigans ... he became so much better and more entertaining when he changed from wanting that family dead in season one to just being a selfish and lazy coward. I enjoyed the story Harris told here about Irwin Allen being all crabby on the phone about the idea for weekly "Special Guest Star" credit, grumbling for minutes and then finally muttering "Okay" and hanging up. Now that's a fun memory. I think half the stuff Jonathan Harris says about the past is essentially ballyhoo, but I don't care; he does it so well. Bill Mumy's enthusiasm here about the role of Will is a complete hoot. But what kid at that age _wouldn't_ want to be Will Robinson and do all that cool make-believe stuff? Thanks!

I eagerly await Part 2. Until then... the pain! The pain!

The robot from Forbidden Planet was also in the episode of the prison ship. I think it was called The Condemned of Space or something like that.

One of the best opening themes from the years of Classic TV. John Williams scored the original. But I really loved the Season 3 Countdown intensity opener. Diamond Select or McFarland Toys needs to pick up the license for this show and kick out some great stuff. Especially the Giant Cyclops, Crush, Kill Destroy Robot, and Tybo the Carrot Man. So get cracking and just take my money.

Season One of “Lost in Space” was amazing-solid adventure.

I loved the "Seaview"! I built a plastic model of the submarine - Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College and GSU ❤🎉😂🎉

I loved Lost in Space and had such a crush on...June Lockhart. I thought she was so beautiful and later on when she was on Petticoat Junction she looked so gorgeous.

Lost in Space was both unique, and a product of it's time. Remember: It was also the time of the original Batman Series! Outrageous kitsch, and farcical humor, is what made these shows so entertaining: With the end of this great era in Television, America has lost so much . . .lost so much. And we must never forget: Johnathan Harris is the one who, through his ad-lib technique, ushered in the whole "CAMP" concept for the show! All were great actors, but Johnathan Harris was pure, natural, acting genius. He made the show what it was, and thus kept it fresh and entertaining.

The Gemini 12 name came from Irwin Allen’s astrological birthday. Gemini is the astrological sun sign for June and he was born in June 12th and had nothing to do the then ongoing nasa space program.

I had the "Hots!"for Judy Robinson!-Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College & GSU🎉

"Warning, Warning Will Robinson! DANGER!!!- Michael McClary ❤

Angela actually started work on Lost in Space at age 12, having been born on September 9th, 1952.

Penny was my childhood crush (Who an I kidding I still love her )

Awesome.. TIMELESS 👍

This was the type of show, that hooked people with the promo add that aired a few weeks beforehand. I think that tens of thousands of boomers were waiting to watch the first episode with great anticipation.

my best tv memories as a kid....looked forward to Saturday...all my friends on the street got together to watch the show...... I even had a freezing tube in my bedroom..lol.... crude , but it worked for me....

Brought back great memories, loved it xx

Dr Smith is a proto John Locke from the TV show Lost.

I bought the DVD boxed set a couple of weeks ago and are still watching season 1. Its a bit of a chore to watch in B&W though but I'm enjoying it for the most part. Bill and Jonathan are the stand out performers but I'm mostly into it for Angela, she was such a doll.

The only thing wrong with this video is that its over ill be looking forward to part two thank you you do great work sir

Billy Mumy was the luckiest boy in the world! 🍀

Loved lost in space -Was about 6 or 7 & on friday night I think (so long a go) - my Mom & Dad - Were going to take my sister & me to the pictures & I was so miffed because I had waited so long (aweek) for the following episode of Lost in Space & I was gonna miss it ! -No second cahnce to see things ? - No VCRs - One it was gone I 'd never see it again ? Haha I must of caused a stink any way -That my poor parents vowed never to take mevyo the pictures again !!! My poor Mom & Dad ! 7 year old I loved sci fi - 'Time slip' 'Tomorrow people' 'Time tunnel' - Still love Sci fi now at 58

The cast were perfect, and really the storylines, and special effects were really good, the intro and closing music were good themes.. everything about it was very imaginative..Irwin Allen, Johnny Williams, and jack Martin Smith..

Late Friday afternoons in the seventies watching Lost In Space while waiting for my dad to come home with our weekly chinese takeaway..cherished memories.

I LOVED This show as a Kid (Had a MAJOR Crush ON Penny = Angela Cartwright) ​… NUFF Said ... “🍺 Dilly Dilly”❗

I enjoyed this video. Well researched, lots of great memories.

Thanks for this. Appreciate your work 🙏

Dr Smith's whin'nin and Cry'in in each episode was Great 👍!!

Sorry if I sound selfish, but I really liked Doctor Smith as a cold, evil villian; I think he played that even better than the silly over the top character he later developed.

Great Content, well researched. Well done

Wonderful documentary on my favorite childhood show. Thanks so much!

I have seen many tributes to LIS on KZfaq but you gave me some facts and interview snippets that I have never seen nor heard before! I am a HUGE LIS fan and I eagerly await part 2. Thanks.

Thank you for taking me back to my childhood. My siblings have passed, but watching your channel reminds me of our wonderful shared childhood. We loved all those late 60's, 70's and early 80's cartoons, tv shows and movies. Have you ever covered the Johnny Sokko or Ultraman shows?

Excellent. I await Pt 2

Fantastic look back Jonathan. Lost In Space continues to be one of my all time favorites. I have the remastered series on Blu-ray. Great job here.

👍🏻 well done

Mushrooms + classic Sci-fi = fun times 🤫

Excellent so far, look forward to part 2 as well

I wish you could put these out once a week. They are very good just sucks waiting so long for the next one. But still worth it

Alright Let's get busy with part two You Bubble Headed Booby . Great video

I love Jonathan Harris has comments about himself. He's so pompous and overbearing in real life. No wonder he didn't have any trouble betraying dr. Smith. I just love him.

You can not forget this show it was just like the day the earth stood still from 1951 and the voyage of the bottom of the sea tv show 1960s

Such a good show!

Irwin Allen v Gerry Anderson

I have the dvd and watch it daily.

Season 3 was campy but was still *fun*. It's like a mix of seasons 1 and 2. Definitely an improvement on season 2, which was camp without the fun. Season 1 is dated but the earlier episodes in particular were *great*. It's all amazing, especially with the endless reuse of the same props - it's a testament to the show that it could rise over its limitations.

After years lost in space TV show was done in 2018 for TV show again for three seasons just like the other 1960s but more updated and different from any thing else that was done

I used to watch Lost in Space as a kid. I always found it fun to watch but that's all it was fun, totally mad. However I have always felt Star Trek was the serious series for science fiction. Lost in Space turned into a comedy. This was not necessarily a bad thing because it did entertain a lot of kids. Thanks for Crush Kill Destroy. Never fear Smith is here.Oh and the Horrible Creatures. Well Smith got that right only most of them are on Earth. Lol

Back when corp. took chances and prized innocence something that's much needed today.

The content of these videos about lost in space is very well put together from many different sources. The only distracting thing is the editing of the audio. The narration is clearly done with bits and pieces and floods from one subject directly into another without even a pause in many instances. It is almost exactly like the robotic narration in so many other KZfaq videos. I have no other complaints however and I still enjoyed the memories.

As a kid I always wished 'Robot' could live at my house.

Great video!

Can't wait for part 2

Danger Will Robinson!

I grew up with the show in the '60's and I still want to be Will Robinson.

I wish Irwin would have kept it a serious adventure series, After the first season the show got way to campy and basically turned into Sesame Street meets Mr. Rogers!

They even used Robby the Robot as a bad guy.

Sometimes Lost In Space was so bad because of absolutely horrible props beach balls for mines and others it actually made the show better funny and enjoyable to watch.

Actually they aired the original pilot, I remember seeing it when they aired the entire show on Channel 4 in the late 80s/early 90s.

Irwin, not interested in being scientifically accurate he says. The success of the series proves he made the right call. The Bible appeared in the very early episodes. If ever I have the opportunity and pleasure talking to June Lockhart, I would ask how the decision came about for it's departure.

Irwin Allen Productions: Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea: Submarine USS Seaview SSRN1: The Flying Sub FS1, The Minisub Atlas1, The Diving Bell Apple1 and The Snowcat. Lost In Space: Spaceship Jupiter 2: The Spacepod, The Chariot and Jet Packs.

Good Morning, Jonny! Always a good morning when I find one of your videos "just uploaded". =D Big fan of Lost in Space! I bought the complete series on iTunes a couple of years ago, and the funny thing about it, is that the show is so "50's White Suburbia" it should have a picket fence around it. I don't mean that disrespectfully... but all of the "1950s" dynamics are there. "The men are MEN! The women are.... well.... to be honest.... subservient." Still, it's a step back to my childhood, in that I watched it(in reruns, of course). I don't really have issues with the remakes/reboots.... but I really wish they would have left the Robot looking pretty much the same. Changing the Robot just seems wrong. I don't mind updating the characters to more contemporary norms, but leave the Robot alone! ;)

7:45 I suppose the cigarette was part of the wardrobe

You could tell billy was enjoying the show. what 12yr old boy would not want to dress up in a silver jumpsuit and live in a flying saucer!

Hated it then, hated it now. (Lost in space)

Genera Utility Non Theoroizing Electronic Robot means Gunter supposedly was the robots name

This show so underrated ahead of it's time the production design was kind blowing this was the green acres of sci Fi over a lot of people's heads better than star trek and star wars FACTS get over it , 🌛🌜🌛🌜

Mark Goddard should have been a big TV star it's sad after this ended his career ended I always thought he could have starred in a show like Mannix or any other detective hour.

Michael J Pollard The Magic Mirror, ❤️Penny❤️ but no goop

I remember Lost In Space when it first came out. As a child I loved science fiction. I liked the Will and Penny characters, ( I had a crush on Penny ) but I really disliked the Dr. Smith character. Kind of ruined it for me. So later I liked Star Trek much more, a more serious approach to the outer space thing. I guess I am one of few who did not like the character Dr. Smith as played by Harris. Just not a Harris fan. Too bad.

This was the beginning of space age of the 1960s

Jonathan Harris (Dr Smith) stole the first season of LIS. Most of the season 1 episodes were about his character. Decades later Harris was still bragging about it.

Just wondering what significance the Gerry Anderson UFO tv theme at the end of this vid has to do with LIS?

Liked watching the series in prime time on Wednesday nights, season one was the best, second series was too campy third series, the theme was getting back into space. The cast assumed after the end of the third season, they would return for a fourth season, but the network wanted to cut the budget, and Allen refused. I wonder if Allen ever thought about taking the continuation of the series to ABC since he had three series with the network ? I know he had other projects going on, just wondered if ABC wiuld have picked up the series had Allen approached them.

Lost in space TV show netflix 2018

CBS used to be great. Now,CBS/Paramount is not great.

I WAS BORN IN 1961,AND REMEMBER WATCHING LOST IN SPACE AT MY AUNT AND UNCLES HOUSE WITH MY COUSIN'S IN THE 1960S I WOULD HAVE KILLED DR SMITH WHEN HE TRIED TO SABOTAGE THE SHIP. SMITH AND THE ROBOT WERE COMICAL I LOVED TO HEAR THE ROBOT LAUGH IT WAS FUNNY. I WATCH IT EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT AT 1:00 AM ON ME.TV IRWIN ALLEN WAS A GENIUS HE MADE THE BEST SI FICTION SHOWS AND MOVIES.

Gene Roddenberry was WAY AHEAD of Irwin Allen.

A feature film AND another LIS series followed our enjoyment of the show in the mid-sixties. Were those an improvement? Naw, not in the slightest!

Dr Smith and robot made the show

Please Color Season One Of Lost in Space. In Black and White The First Season In Unwatchable. It has the best episodes of the series. Season One Was Great . If the show was left the way season one was made. Then The series Would have lasted 6 or 7 Years

NASA was worried about the wrong thing, If you're trying to portray a society way into the future, being accurate with that day's technology, was irrelevant.

After the first season it was lame. Dr. Smith was a saboteur that became a doofus.

I hated Dr Smith but he was very funny

When I was a kid...omg I hated Dr. Smith so much.....so....their writing and his acting sure worked....original deplorable!

I loved the first couple years but by the last year the show got rather campy. Really lost interest in it and didn't miss it when it was cancelled.

I realised I was gay when I had a crush on Don the assistant captain

Could there have been two very different characters that an actor is best known for than Guy Williams? As Zorro, he was a charming, dashing, debonair swashbuckler. As Professor Robinson, he was a serious, straight laced, conservative family man. And Marta Kristen, as Judy Robinson, was my very first crush! I watched Lost In Space just to look at her beautiful self. Of course, I was just a kid at the time, and I wouldn't have known what to do if I actually met her back then. It was criminal in how they so underused her in the series!
