You have to admire Irwin Allen and the great effect he had on Movies and TV... a fantastic genius and Lost in Space being one his great productions. Thank You Irwin RIP.

Rip Irwin your work will always be remembered

This is the real genius of the movies , he created the most interesting series on the the screen , Very special brain !!!!!!!

Amazing man. Even today no producer has come close to him.

Irwin Allen was a genius much ahead of his time.

Allen was brilliant He gave so many kids Like me amazing things to watch like Gerry Anderson these guys were our gods when we were young God bless them Fantastic👍👍👍

Should have let Lost in Space finish it's journey to Alpha Centauri

He was very talented, I grew up with those two films and loved both of them. I miss seeing films with big star casts, the last one may have been Midway.

What's really interesting to me is his accent. You can almost hear the English in his english although we all know it's a New York accent. I doubt if it came from any Mid-Atlantic accent for his background (although he is in the entertainment industry).

Some people who knew him, said he was a kind warm person, and others say he was horrible and humourless. Who knows ?

Remember it was the talk of the town putting Steve McQueen and Paul Newman in the same movie.

What a nice man giving credit to his colleagues!

Irwin didn't talk about his earlier television work after becoming a "Big Time Movie Producer/Director." I would love to have heard him talk about Lost In Space with some sort of fondness.

I love every show you gave me to watch on TV or created in my childhood. See Wikipedia.

Eu assisti todas tardes 1973 VITÓRIA da conquista de LUZ COMO OS ANJOS MAS DEPOIS DA QUEDA

Land of the Giants and Time Tunnel were brilliant shows, which managed to fire the imagination of viewers as well as accomplish some splashy visuals.

autor dos melhores seriados, descanse em paz....

he made great tv shows. Unfortunately they were expensive to make so did not last many seasons.

What about it's about time, it's about space? 😁

Johnathan Harris " This man was completely without humor"

I have heard this guy was a complete jerk to other people through the years and had an ego that you couldn’t imagine

LOL. IN the OCEAN 13 movie, RUSTY DOSE THE BEST IMPRESSION OF IRWIN ALLEN to willy bank. at his hotel.

Irwin had the weirdest wig or whatever it was and when you were in his company you made sure not to stare at his head -- he was very sensitive about his toupee and even when his back was to you and you stared he would quickly turn around knowing you had been staring at that thing on his head. I would normally finish a comment about the deceased by writing RIP but not for Irwin.

Why didn’t he do a Lost in Space reunion in the 1970s when all the cast were alive and available.

of the things i heard sounds like mr allen was pretty despised man

After all, were Wood Allen and Irwin Allen brothers?

Jonathan Harris painted Allen as a mean-spirited prick. He did a lot of great stuff. But its sad to hear things like that, because I don't think anyone has the right to be treated that way. Granted, Harris comes off as a bit of an aloof snob, so who knows?

My heartburn with regards to Mr Allen was that NASA had allegedly approached him about a consultancy for LIS and he snubbed them. It's not surprising that the series didn't see syndication success as did Star Trek. By the time of season two the plots became totally ridiculous and absorbed in the deviousness of Dr Smith. Jonathan Harris makes it no secret in his interviews about how he engineered the character so that he lasted well beyond 'Special Guest Star' status. Seasons two and three were ridiculous. Thereafter, I developed no interest in Allen's other ventures.

@brainsareus "Spock's Brain" and "The Trouble With Tribbles" were brilliant? Hardly. But still, you must keep things in perspective. Hollywood was then as it is now- all about money, and Irwin Allen knew how to make films and television that succeeded in doing so. His 1961 motion-picture "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea" was a box-office smash in an era of low-budget B-movies. During the '60s, his series were more popular than Roddenberry's "Star Trek" and "The Lieutennant" combined.

He kinda looks like Richard Basehart

Work aside, I guess he was, well, not a nice person.

@bresnan21 your point is specious. i didn't write the ninth symphony either; therefore, i shouldn't assume the right to critique it? nice try.............

Not as odd as "Dr Smith "made him sound..Resembles Johnny Carson a little to me. Without the sense of humor..lol

By most accounts, not the nicest guy in the world, sorry to say.

Real smart guy in many ways but unrefined taste in food. Jack in the box was his favorite place to eat everyday.

Some say he was a real prick and a total asshole, others say he was very strange with a huge ego , who knows? , , all i know is that i loved growing up watching his tv shows, lost in space was the best, time tunnel was pretty good, but land of the giants was a snoozer, i just never liked that one, voyage to the bottom of the sea wasnt that good either , all in all he did make some cool stuff!!!

Smug to the point of annoying.
