HUGE Bob Denver fan here! Believe it or not, I actually have every episode of "Far Out Space Nuts" (and "Dusty's Trail") stored on an external hard-drive. I'm 54 years old and still revisit these from time to time.

Bob also performed "Gilligan's"voice for"The New Adventures Of Gilligan" and "Gilligan's Planet"tv cartons that Filmation Assoc. produced for ABC TV and later for CBS TV.

You know what I enjoy this video space nuts it just brings me back to my childhood back in the 70s

Still remember Bob Denver on The Howard Stern Show back in the 1990s. He was amazing. Just sat there with this huge grin on his face as Howard was trashing Gilligan's Island. He's just the greatest guy.

I loved far out space nuts back in the day. To this day when lunch time comes around, I still often say, "I said lunch, not launch!". Most people look at me curiously. Sadly, I guess they weren't space nuts fans.

This was one of my favorite shows as a kid, but then again, I liked all the Kroft shows.

I've used that "lunch, not launch" line as a joke in a few conversations. Sadly, nobody got the joke.

The Far Out Space Nuts theme song is in my top 5 all time favorite kid's show songs.

Loved FOSN! (Although I watch it now & it feels like it was all shot in one take!) Bob Denver parlayed one of the most iconic careers in U.S. TV by playing the Sidekick! (The Lou Costello Principle in action!) Oh, & Mr. Canadine... he was famous for NEVER turning down work! ;)

Yeah, I started watching this for Bob Denver and stayed for how good the whole show was. 5-year-old me loved it! Hell... 50-year-old me loves it!

Bob Denver yes i did watch the show and Gillian's island and other shows back in the seventys and so on etc!!!!!!!!!

I really Loved the Show , I was born in The Summer of Love , I was a Huge TV buff in those Years as TV was Still relatively Young , This was 73 , What a great Time to be Young :) QC

Thanks for your memories. I do remember this show unfortunately it never quite took off.

He visited our submarine and we gave him a tour. It was somewhere between 1991 and 1993. He was a cordial gentleman.

I’m 55 and remember this show very well. You’re KZfaq videos bring back memories of when I was a kid. It’s really amazing what a huge role television played in our lives back then.

I haven't thought about that show in years!!!

Far Out Space Nuts was never one of my favorite Saturday morning shows. But, I do remember occasionally watching it.

Bob Denver!!!!...I miss him!!

I remember this I also watched "The Good Guys" and "Dusty's Trail".......Bob Denver was in a lot of tv shows!

As a child, I was a dedicated fan of Gilligan's Island and when I saw Bob Denver in Far Out Space Nuts, I was ecstatic. I loved the show. I have warm thoughts of the characters adventures and classic Bob Denver lovable and playful nature.

Gillian in space oh man takes me back also kroff super stars 💘 those shows my childhood thanks Dave in bad times we need the good stuff remains us of ours lives when simpler days where simpler if we could go backwards if we're?

Never seen this so I missed out‼️Thanks Dave❣️❣️❣️❣️‼️Stay Safe❣️❣️‼️

I remember this. "Ghostbusters" too! Dave, you did it again ♥️

I recall that show. It was so bad it was fun and I was glad to see Bob Denver working. Between the Gilligan and FOSNs he had had another Gilligan clone in the old west called Dusty's Trail.

I had forgotten all about this show! Thank you!

I loved space nuts. Thanks for making this! And I never missed a Gilligan's Island reunion movie. The one when the hurricane sweeps them off the island was my favorite.

What you are a time machine talking about my morning and afternoon shows 👍🏿👍🏿

It is amazing how well we remember some of these shows that had so few episodes.

I loved this show, because of Bob Denver! I loved Gilligan's Island, still do! And it did seem to last a lot longer than 15 episodes, but, oh well! Those were the days my friend!

Just watched an interview with Dreama Denver yesterday. She discussed what an amazing husband and father he was and his legacy in way of his nonprofit foundation which humbly helps families where they can.

Thanks for the brief mention of this show. I caught maybe theee episodes one year.

GREAT HOMAGE TO THIS SUPER 70'S SHOW, WELL DONE! I LOVE THIS GOOFY SHOW TO THIS DAY. : )

Super Fun Show just good campy fun.

Man. That comic book TV line-up ad brings back so many great memories from my childhood. My Tv stayed on CBS back then. I really enjoyed the Far Out Space Nuts and Ghost Busters.

Darn it, I had all but forgotten about Space Nuts. Thanks for tickling my memory :-D

you know I love space nuts when I was going to Kenyon Street School on Federal Hill and Providence and I was living at 421 orm Street in Providence I was watching all kinds of Saturday night cartoons and everything and space nuts with Bob Denver was one of my favorites

Always enjoyed him in whatever he was in.

I love your videos on short-lived series! Far Out Space Nuts, The Lost Saucer, cartoons like Groovy Ghoolies and The Archie's....they were my favorites!!!

I was a huge fan of the Far Out Space Nuts. It was a perfect blend of sci-fi, slapstick comedy and the campy nature of the Krofft entertainment franchise. I wish it were released on DVD, but I'll settle for a copy from anyone willing to share with a fellow-fan.

I don't know why I never watched this show. I had been a big fan of Bob Denver from _Gilligan's Island_ and _The Good Guys._ And I grew up watching and loving the brilliant kids' shows created by Chuck McCann on WNEW out of New York in the sixties. All I can guess is, since I turned 20 in 1975, I had other interests or obligations on Saturday mornings at the time. Think I'll have to check this one out...

I am sure I watched this, but I have more memories of seeing Bob Denver on an Old West show about a lost stagecoach called Dusty’s Trail (or something like that), complete with a Gilligan’s Island-like theme song. Thanks for the memories, Dave!

I remember the introduction of that show more than anything else, I might have seen a couple of episodes of it as a kid, but I may have also confused it with an old Don Knotts movie that was being shown on TV back then called ‘The Reluctant Astronaut’ in which he played a man being forced into the space program and being shot into orbit.

I loved this show! I think I was 12 when it came out.

Another gem from the Saturday mornings of the 70's live action line up.

I grew up watching far out space nuts i loved thier hi jinx adventures loved the show 😅

Dave, thanks for sharing these old memories with us💖

Mr. Dave strikes again! With good, in depth, research work!! I remember seeing Bob Denver's costar in some memorable Right Guard commercials.(Scent! Scent!) I remember being shocked by Bob's hair color! But that's okay, it was dark again for all the Gilligan movies!!

loved this on sat mornings' with Land of the lost

One of my FAVORITE TV SHOWS! There's great chemistry between Bob Denver and Chuck McCann!

Oh my god I remember this but I thought it was Alen hale that stared with bob. Thanks for posting this that was a cool show growing up.

I liked this show because of Bob Denver! I also am a fan of Gilligan’s Island

When I was in Kindergarten and 1st grade, Kroft Super Stars would come on right when I normally came home from school. Whenever it played an episode of Far Out Space Nuts I got excited because it was my favorite of the Kroft shows. There was one episode where the Nuts not only get back to Earth, but travel back in time to the point where they accidentally launched only to make the same mistake again. That was my favorite episode and contributed to my life long love of time travel stories. I wasn't too bright though as a kid. Because whenever it came on I thought the one guy in it looked a lot like Gilligan (Gilligan's Island was on in the early evenings then) but it couldn't be Gilligan because his hair was lighter and his face a little older. I thought maybe they wanted a guy like Gilligan to be in the show, so they found somebody that was like Gilligan but not Gilligan.

This and another Krofft show The Lost Saucer were incredibly goofy, but you don’t notice such things when you’re 4 years old. These shows lit a spark for me. They introduced me to science fiction, which is something I love. I’m eternally grateful to the Krofft brothers for that.

Bob Denver, maybe more than anyone, makes me nostalgic for all those years ago. He was so good in everything...I have vague memories of Space Nuts, but clearly recall Gilligan's Island, Dusty's Trail... Thanks for another great video, Dave.

Thank you! Good memory!!

I too loved the show. I've thought about it over the years but couldn't remember the name. Thanks for making this tribute. I came across it after I found a car that looked so much like wonderbug that I started looking on youtube for it. This was the next video in the lineup. That was a happy accident.

Great time to grow up! Anybody remember "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl"?

I had forgotten about this one

I LOVED THIS SHOW!!

I did watch and love this show. Unfortunately in Canada Krofft, anything was on the snowy UHF stations.

Bob Denver also played another character, Rufus Butterworth, in a CBS prime-time sitcom, THE GOOD GUYS. He appeared as friend and eventual diner co-owner w/ Bert Gramus, played by Herb Edelman, who starred in Sat. morning's BIG JOHN LITTLE JOHN years later. Joyce Van Patten (Dick's sister) played Bert's wife, Claudia, and Jim Backus, yes Mr. Howell, played her father once or twice.

I Loved Gilligan's Island, I was able to Get His Autograph before he Past away on a Copy of the Gilligan Sailor hats that he wore on Gilligan's Island, I also Got Dawn Wells to sign a Pair of Blue Jean Shorts she Had on her Internet Site....I wished I could have gotten them all of the Cast Autographs.

Loved this show to Dave still working on my good stuff play list been having sasquatch trouble this week see videos this channel will have the TRIBUTE TO YOU video out this weekend your the best man

I used to love that line: “I SAID LUNCH NOT LAUNCH!”

It's not strange to see John Carradine make an appearance on this show, he appeared on practically every show in the 60's and 70's.

_Only 15 episodes??_ Wow 😳 It certainly was gooder’n great show! As I’ve mentioned before, being hospitalized for a big part of my childhood, shows like this was a much needed distraction. Thanks again, Dave -jB

I think Paul Lynde did an appearance too.

Bob Denver also did a show at that time called Dustys Trail a sort of wild west version of Gilligan's Island. I met Chuck McCann at a luncheon a few years ago. He was so nice. You wouldn't remember Dave cause you're younger than me but he did a live children's show in the 60s in New York where he did many characters including Dick Tracy, Orphan Annie and my favorite Dragon Lady's Mother. Check his shows out on KZfaq.

Space Nuts is a show I barely remember from 70's, but I do know it.

I am definitely a Bob Denver fan. Gilligan, of course. Maynard, Shaggy's spiritual granndpa. His later roles in The Good Guys and Far Out Space Nuts. The key to being working as a typecast actor is to take your perceived persona and use it to your advantage.

Omg I couldn’t remember the name of this show! Thank u!

I do so miss those Saturday mornings. Remember the animated Gilligan's Island and Gilligan's planet.

I remember Bob Denver appeared on Herman's Head back in the 90's

I loved the opening theme song.

I remember when Chuck McCann was on Facebook several years ago and I asked him about his infamous 1969 series “turn on” that got canceled after one episode. He pretended he didn’t know what I was talking about and obviously he was embarrassed about the series

I am with You I loved it toooooooooooooo! Wish they would run it now on tv naybe it is just not in my area. Outstanding post Dave as always.

Yes I was a fan particularly of Gilligans island series. My son grew up being a fan as well and went as Gilligan one year for Halloween. It was perfect for him being thin, tall and brunette and the costume was pretty simple.🌴

Alan Hale loved playing the Skipper so much he wore the skipper hat all the time including when he would visit sick kids at the hospital and at his restraunt.

I loved this show! The episode I remembered most was the one where Barney and Junior are given a chance to get back to Earth. However, they weren't allowed to take Honk with them. I actually teared up when they said their goodbyes to Honk. It really got to me. Imagine how happy I was when after returning to Earth, Junior and Barney really had it made in space. So they launched (not lunched) themselves back into space and retrieved Honk. Would love to find the old episodes somewhere.

Yes, at the time I loved watching the "Far Out Space Nuts". I was a Gilligan fan, so Junior was just another goofy typecast character for Bob Denver to play! lol I look back on it now, and see that it was just a goofy series, and it's amazing that it lasted for a season - 15 episodes.

Hey, Dave - I don't know how "Far Out Space Nuts" didn't register on my radar(ahem), but now that I think about it, I did see 1 or 2 episodes. Bob was a likable guy, & while not every actor likes being typecast, he made the best of it. And people remember you fondly - isn't that something we all want?

Well Dave, yet another one that got by me......In 1975 I was 20......and as you know, I was busy......lol....Looks like I would had liked it had I been younger when it come out.....

This show actually "technically" had an ending. They get a chance to go back in time just before they were going to the shuttle to load the food. And as they loaded the food they remembred how much they liked honk. And so instead of leaving after loading the lunch...they sat down and launched their way back to honk while laughing maniaclly

I remember this show

Sadly, the only surviving members of the cast of "Gilligan's Island" are Dawn Wells and Tina Louise

I forgot about that show. It was fun.

Had to explain to someone recently that this was not a spinoff of Gilligan's Island.

Like you, I like this show and Bob Denver. I looked forward to a show he was supposed to have in the 70s as a daycare owner. It was in the Fall Special TV guide but I never saw or heard about it again.

First that I have heard of it. I must have been too busy with life to watch it even if I had heard of it.

Great video. Thanks David. I loved Gilligan’s Island as a kid and felt this show was just an extension of the Gilligan character. Like all the Kraft Super Stars, it was silly and fun. It does seem that Bob Denver did embrace the character despite being (according to most accounts) the complete opposite of the character. I miss those days. Thanks again!

Can’t wait to leave THIS reality and return to THAT reality, with all my Gen X brothers & sisters who’ve managed to keep their hearts from dying.

We never had this in the UK but it looks cool!

I loved far out space nuts as a kid. I think it used to be the last show to come on in the Saturday morning show lineup. I loved all those Kroft superstars shows!

Thank you David

for years, I've been trying to remember what this t.v. show was called...... thanks!❤ I used to watch it all the time, and truly ~loved~ it so, but when I'd ever mention it, no one ever knew what I was ever talking about.... 😕 thank you so much for your video! 💞

Far Out Space Nuts was awesome.

Your videos are great your one of my favorite KZfaqrs

Great content as always Dave. I didn’t see this in the UK but when I saw the still of the cast at the controls, I thought ‘Red Dwarf’!

I need to check this show out again. I vaguely remember watching it as a kid, but I did strongly remember the "Lunch/Launch" goof that set them off on their short- lived adventure. I think the only character Bob Denver played that wasn't a Gilligan-esque type character was Maynard in Dobie Gillis. (I could be wrong though).
