David Irving. There is something you have forgotten to mention about Doctor Smith. In addition to saying "Oh the Pain the Pain" Doctor Smith is always Oh Dearing whenever something does not go right with regards to him.

What got me is how everything was right side up while the robot was on his side.

I enjoy those little interactions you have with Hazel. Sadly, the Robinsons could not abandon Smith because Will and Penny would make a huge fuss. Then John and Maureen would be racked with guilt. Only Don would be sensible about it.

even as a kid i fantisized about beating Dr Smith into old age lol

The Robot's ' heart ' was a prop taken from the film Fantastic Voyage before the film was even released!

Will & The Robot are by far the best characters in the series

In war of the androids, the Robot said he had a nuclear reactor.

A good episode, and Smith did seem to care about Will's feelings when they thought they lost the robot. But when they were all trying to get out of the shrinking robot, Smith was once again "Every man for himself!" He refused to help Don whose foot was stuck, and fibbed to John that Will had gotten out. Curious that when they'd all gotten out and the robot shrank back to normal size, the plate that they'd removed to enter was back on. Still a charming episode.

I'll give this to Mark Goddard---he could project true anger on cue and make it look very realistic.

When I was a kid I could overlook some of the obvious stuff such as why the Robot had a floor when he was laying on his back. But I recall asking my Dad how Smith got a banana! Knowing that the Jupiter 2 seems to contain anything they want such as a cash register and Smith's nightshirt and cap I could chalk that up the having been in the cavernous storage shown on the fusion core level. But they couldn't have brought fresh bananas with them. I think that by this time in the series they gave up any pretense of science or logic and just went for broke with the silly stories. Still.....this was one of the more imaginative and fun episodes of season 2!

Remembering back at some of the characters and monsters they encountered leaves NO doubt that the Writers for the show did some serious drugs ;)

If ya look...JUDY is in full length long boots....Penny is in day glow.

This was my all time favorite. My friends and I reinacted it many time in our garages.

I realize I'm nit picking but I was 11yrs old ( Will's age ) when this episode aired and caught the fact he removed a large square panel from a smaller rectangled hole. 7:22

Interesting that all the tape machines are facing the right way up, even though the robot is on his back. Also there is steam and moving parts inside the robot, really? What about that toolbox that Will brought in, it will be forever stuck inside the robot.

This used to be one of my favorites, now it just annoys me that Robot is laying on his back, yet there is a “floor” for them to walk on!! With large magnetic tape computers right in his feet, no less!! ‘Guess they were there to analyze his soil samples from episode 3!!

And the Robot also has machinery that runs on steam.

David Irving. In the last episode of the first season Kanto called Doctor Smith a fool. What a polite alien.

I have to admit, this was always my favorite episode of the series, even as a kid. Mainly because I was fascinated by the robot (in fact, one Christmas a toy of it was on my list, but my parents couldnt find it). Going through the interior seemed like a fun excursion, and I'd probably have done it too, if I had a pet robot. Of course Smith was next to useless, but we've come to expect that, so I mostly ignored him. Seeing all the processors, tape banks and various internal "components" was interesting, although none of that would have been inside a "real" robot. At the time this was made, transistors were just becoming a thing, and microprocessors didnt even exist, so the large tape machines are shown any time you see computers (ie Star Trek, Time Tunnel, even Wonder Woman). Campy, yes, but this show had become camp by this point. Batman proved that camp worked. And by this time, the show was pretty much the Dr Smith, Robot and Will show, so naturally they were featured with the others as supporting characters. Judy got all of about 3 lines, if that, and not sure Penny even spoke. Liked when Will changed around some of the burned out components (that "heart" always got me too), but the end really stretched it when they held it open with a tree to keep it so Will could escape. It looked too small from the outside until he was squeezing through, then it suddenly got big enough. And that plate they took off didnt shrink as well (nor did the bolts), so now he has a big hole in his tread section, unless they have a new part.

I don't suppose anyone thought it would be a good idea to write down the instructions so Smith wouldn't have to remember which button to push and when? They all knew him pretty well by now.

I completely understand there would not have been an episode but, maybe writing the instructions down, maybe Smith could have completed the task at hand.😊

It was a fascinating look on what makes the robot tick.

Take a shot for every episode you remember which one each of those recycled props were used.

Come on. If Dr. Robinson has given me a task that important, I would've written all of the steps down and go over them with him to make sure I get it right.

That tin plated traitor

YAY! Another episode of hearing "WHAAAAAAAAOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" :D

One of my favorite episodes as a child (along with War of the Robots, and Wreck of the Robot -- I think there may be a theme). Something about the whole motivation of the plot device in this episode only now occurs to me. They cannot recharge the robot until repairs are made to the ship. So he has to sacrifice himself as his power slowly drains out? That is the only solution? Why not simply remove his power pack (as they do countless times in the series) to deactivate him safely and painlessly, until power is again available to recharge it? Seriously, no one thought of this?

Dangerous area? Valley of the shadows? There has to be a scientific explanation for this.

This happened to my toaster once.

Couldn't the robot just say MALFUNCTION WITH MY POWER FUNCTIONS?

Reminds me of the movie Fantastic Voyage.

This was the LIS version of "Fantastic Voyage". Raquel Welch is easier on the eyes than Dr. Smith, though.

The robot is borrowing the volta sword power unit

the robot's thingamajig looks like a giant pencil

Dr smith is a surgeon!!!!! And he can’t push buttons

Dave Irving At 11:43 you said Doctor Smith is a big baby. It is a miracle nobody who resides on the Jupiter 2 has called Doctor Smith a baby. My conclusion to that is that the Robinsons must be a very polite family and more civilized than the Waltons. If it was the Walton family Ben would not hesitate to call Doctor Smith a baby. Ben was the one I like the best. Ben was the least goody-goody out of the Walton children.

This was lost in spaces take off on fantastic voyage,the diode timer actually incorporated a piece of the body interior from that movie

David Irving i got a question for you how would they get a Crane to that planet

If the Valley of Shadows caused the robot to grow shouldnt everyone entering the area to also grow? Which meant Will Dr Smith John and Don?

At the point 2:07 this has confirmed what I have said. Maureen Robinson is just as soft with Doctor Smith as her son Will is.

Dave Irving Of all the disaster and trouble Doctor Smith brings on the Robinson family it never occurs Will's mother and father to tell Will to stay away from Smith.

In season 3 they did the same thing i mean with Don with penny Robinson and Judy Robinson and will Robinson and the Robot

....then forget he ever existed...;hahahahahahaha u just wormed a new subscriber lol

Where did that Bannana come from that Smith's eating ?.

Dave Irving Doctor Smith is not banished from the Jupiter 2 for nearly blowing it's power generating system with his incompetence. He is not even sent to Coventry. It would seem that John Robinson has become almost as soft with Doctor Smith as his wife Maureen and his son will is.

However why couldn't they just do that before Dr. Smith blew up the whatever it supposed to be

At the point 6:01 That is a good question you posed Dave Irving. Why is Will taking that arch idiot Doctor Smith. I reckon Will would be better off taking his sister Penny instead. For a start Penny is more braver than Doctor Smith and Penny does not think of herself anywhere near as much as Smith does. Doctor Smith is always complaining. Penny very rarely complains about anything.

Who painted that "Danger" sign, Jethro?

¨$ehy not put Smthi in a freezing tube - suspended animation - if the others eom't dispose of him. would deprive show of 90 percent of fuure plots!

And steam.

3:09. Apples and bananas. Neither are grown by the J2 crew. But there was a produce store right down the street from 20th Century Fox. 3:30. You found a continuity gaffe in an Irwin Allen TV show. Oh my. This episode is a recycled prop extravaganza. 8:28. Good one, Mr. B. 9:08. I think Mr. Keema had one of those. 13:04. Any tools left inside The Robot will break something when The Robot shrinks back to normal size. 13:25. Stargazer shakes her head in disbelief. Because even she cannot believe that The Robot is dead. 14:28. I think that they are stuck in Noble Neolani's arch. But it is turned upside down. 16:30. Speaking of recycled props, I think Mr. OM had one of those. I hope Judy remembers to press the blue button, the black button, and then the green button, or else The Robot might blow up the way the J2 did at the beginning of the episode. In "The Phantom Family", there is a great blooper where Don bumps his head on one of Lemnoc's weapons. Please include this in your video review of that episode.

Can we say a prayer to Mark Goddard? He died on October 10, 2023. He was 87.

A King Solomon solution! beautiful! I love the half a wheel it's better than nothing, I haven't laughed that hard in a long, long time! That was so funny I love your edgy humor I love it when it's on the edge, and I also love that from each episode you're getting more and more irritated about the stupidity of the Robinsons and Dr Smith and their combined stupidity together as well not to mention the robots sporadic stupidity and along with the stupidity of the aliens and assorted visitors and other space saps! It reminds me of a Seinfeld episode, like a not that you're old and I don't mean it like that but I just recording the line, like an old man trying to send Sue back in her cafeteria! anyway I love your show I love this episode in particular for that line alone is worth the price of admission! John tried to explain to Maureen better than none! Oh my God the Italian cannibal subgenre of movies is calling you! I love you and I love your show I love the Green hornet episodes I wish there was more than just the few seconds of clips that you're allowed to give some other shows but I have a request I don't know if you're taking requests but what do you think about doing Mr terrific? or Captain nice? Oh my God they brought stupidity to new levels I mean they made it like almost a food group! What about Star trek the original series, maybe not every episode but I have some favorites that I'd love to hear a serious commentary on like patterns of force, the Doomsday machine, return of the archons, and possibly the gunfight at the okay corral the name of the episode escapes me. But those were probably my favorites oh and tribbles. The trouble with triggers. anyway I know it would be hard to give the trouble of tribbles a serious commentary but how about just a commentary and also have you ever seen demon with a glass hand? Harlan Ellison's outer limit episode well one of his episodes, I would like to see or hear I mean or both what you think of that episode and why and also I can't wait for the third season to here you go about on about especially when they get to castles in space or ice castles or whatever the hell that episode was called you know the one with the silver Frito bandito. Also what was the what's the episode where he turns to the Jupiter into a Dr Smith turns the Jupiter into a hotel for for Fritz felts bank robbing brainwashing tourists? Oh my God I'd like to see you do Westworld 2 the movie but anyway, I'm really enjoying your Green hornet take I liked the Green hornet I thought it had a lot of potential I thought it the actors and the directing was a lot better than the the skimpy production and marketing that it fell victim to.

Open heart, or whatever, surgery

The thing about the lemnock episode was that it was so realistic, it just the kind of thing that happens every day and your everyday neighborhood. You know the only thing I can not it will not or might not or dusted knotting rolls of ray to pop e Ree Ree too poo poo pee doo - do if Yu pub at pthite it? Do you isn't poking to prot the mn an understand is how did you distinguish lemyloop from any other alien living in your neighborhood! But seriously, elmblock was a good alien, unforgettable interesting addition, wokmluck was not a run of the mill alien villain. She was unforgettable, nobody can ever forget the way hiploackt froze the family furiously foaming fitfully forwarding formidable figs following feature fmnnv full of of fry freddie foo foo?,well???!!! HUH??!!!!??

Maureen can hold her own. She's a women not to recon with.

How would you feel about doing the fantastic voyage cartoon series or the Star trek cartoon series? The animated series? Or Spider-Man the original Spider-Man animated series and the Spider-Man live action series from the 70s with Nicholas Nicholas what the f*** am I doing here hammond! he seemed perfectly happy with his career the last interview I saw with him I forgot where it was but I think his high water mark was The Brady bunch and that ain't saying much. That's like saying what's the best wine you've ever had in tijuana. Anywho, are you a Simpson fan? Do you like mystery science theater? I will tell you right now my favorite mystery science would be a movie you would probably do a great rip on which is San Francisco international oh my God just the day we seen alone on MST was worth the price of admission. I mean the Davie Davie scene, and the scene where he's walking Van Johnson is walking by his son and he goes Dad Dad and the bots go no comment no comment for Vans dad's line oh anyway, I could go on forever cuz I'm driving but I'll be in Raleigh soon back to my school last year of engineering Masters physics nuclear thermodynamics strange particles yada yada soupline superhero homeless underpass over hero under now anyway, it makes about as much sense as some of the Lost in space episodes though right? Anyway you're awesome I love your show I love the episodes haven't seen them all but I didn't even know that that probe was a show and never even heard of it it's unusual to say the least it's horrible to say the least and it's weird to say the most but are you if you're a and did you, well what I'm trying to say is, bon voyage m***********! This is Ricky roma. The guy from the bar, you just cost me $6,000. $6,000 period and one Cadillac oh what a big man you are here let me buy you a pack of gum I'll straight out to chew it, I have a problem. Yes. S s s s s s s s. Don't look at all! It's too late she'd already been mooned! Ethel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡

This episode is stupid
