Absolutely without a doubt one of my favorite shows of all time. The sweetest memories of my life were spent watching this incredible show. Everything about the show was "Out of this world"
Guy Williams was definitely under used on that show. He was promised that he would be the lead action hero after his success as Zoro but then the format of the show changed much to some of the actors disappointment.
Guy was also very annoyed that Doctor Smith became a more popular character than him, and the Doctor was given more lines and a more interesting character. It was reported that Guy disliked Jonathan Harris because of that, and Guy rarely spent time or attended social functions with the other actors of the show.
Judy and Penny were my favorite characters on the show and I wished they had had more episodes centered around them. It was still a great show though. It was my inspiration to become an actress. I felt honored to have the same name "Judy" as the older sister.
The now iconic Lost in Space Robot was called B-9 So many little boys back in the 1960's wanted to be Will Robinson and too have the B-9 Robot as their friend. The Lost in Space Robot was maned from the inside by actor/funny man Bob May whom was the Life Force of the Robot's every gesture and reaction which brought the Robot to life each week and the Robot's laugh was that of Bob May. The voice and dialog spoken from the Robot was voiced by the shows' announcer Dick Tufeld The Robot was so popular and perceived as all mechanical that actor Bob May was never credited for the part while the show was on the air. Irwin Allen wanted the orig. fans to think that he was real. Decades later several people recreated the B-9 robot working prop and even crated a Club for people to join to discuss building him and where to find materials and methods etc. Actor Jonathan Harris did a One Man Show down in Australia for his many many fans and he used a working prop B-9 Robot to mix words with as they bantered back n forth. Those shows were excellent. R I P Mr. Jonathan Harris aka Dr. Smith R I P Mr. Bob May The Life Force inside the B-9 Robot R I P Mr. Dick Tufeld the voice of the Robot who would shout out "Warning, Warning Will Robinson. Aliens approaching."
you sir are an icon, and a tremendous actor, thank you for the many years of tv,and big screen memories. if you are ever in buffalo, ny please alert me, i would love to meet you in person.
I really wish they had been able to film the 2 hour TV movie with them, minus the great Guy Williams who passed away in1989, returning to earth aboard the Jupiter 2. They gave up on that project after Jonathan Harris passed away in 2002. Such a wonderful great cast. The original Lost In Space is the very best.
You are correct, sir. His name was Stanley Adams and the character in Star Trek was Cyrano Jones (almost more of an actor's name than his real name :-)
for as stupid as rebellion was what i remember most (other than a talking carrot) was professor robinson did not let his enemy (the carrot) die of thirst.even after all the ''torture'' this six foot vegtable put them through.robinson saved his/it's life.kinda cool.
Lol Marta Kristen stole me from Connie Stevens,she so beautiful,an June Lockhart as well,the entire cast was incredible an amazing,the show came an went way to fast,an touched me for life,BEST WISHES TO ALL!! an whoever's thought from that generation,we could see them all these years later an feel like we can get to know them I LOVE IT AN THX SO MUCH!!
I was sadden to hear a Guy Williams died relatively young in Argentina in the late 1980s of a heart attack. His acting always commanded presence and charisma. Here, Bill Mumy talked of him and the rest of the cast mates, interesting. m.ruclips.net/video/qQ3roIzOgbE/видео.html
By the time of 2018 on netflix got a reboot TV show of lost in Space TV show that is completely different from any other TV shows and movies they know how to come up with new ideas how to do lost in space now and get fans all over again that adds up
While Lost in Space was an interesting Sci-Fi series, I thought that June Lockhart was better on Lassie as Ruth Martin (Timmy's mother). In fact, she had the look and maternal presence of one, or some authority figure, whenever she did some programs. Always loved her. Always will.
After the first season of Lost in Space, they didn't seem to have much material for June to shine. The color episodes were more about Dr. Smith, the kids, and the robot.
@@kwebster62 I suppose that explains it. I never got used to her on LIS. In fact, when June did Petticoat Junction as the doctor, I, eventually, grew to appreciate her role, although viewers complained that the death of Bea Benadaret (Kate Bradley) was what caused it to go off the air in 1970, since Benadaret was such a fixture.
Why didn't they follow through with the movie? It would have been great. The 1997 version was ok. But with the original cast. It would have been perfect. Watching the new series on Netflix. Quite good!
Lost in Space vs Star Trek... It all depends on which show was first during our early childhood where deep impressions are made. I am a Baby Boomer, so for me, Flash Gordon, Lassie, Zorro, and LIS were my shows. Star Trek came around during my teenage years.
I was just entering the pre-teen years when Lost in Space was introduced. I actually preferred it to Star Trek. Season 1 was great. Season 2 was ridiculous. Season 3, when they took off from the alien planet, was pretty good again. Although I loved Jonathan Harris and the Robot, the emphasis on them was ultimately the downfall of the show.
She says at the start of the segment "first hit the airwaves 36 years ago" which means this video was sometime in 2001. Jonathan Harris died---November 3, 2002 (aged 87)
Lost in space TV show 1960s was a show were they had know one to turn to for help they were on their own to deal with everything and anything know one was going to help them they had to do it by themselves that kind of a TV show to do that
The only problem with these retro get-togethers is they're always way too short...lol. I'd love to see them speak more extemporaneously in a longer interview format without such time constraints.
This must be a old talk show Because I was 10 years old when lost in space first came on the air. Back then we only had one TV in the living room for the hole family. The females in my family hated Sci - Fi Shows even till this day. I loved lost in space but never got to watch it every day till I got my own TV in my room and them days it was a old junkie black and white not like the kid's nowadays have.
I don't blame you one bit Mr Goddard I was 5 years old when the show came out and I was pissed and it bothered me to this day changing the script to a campie show sucked real bad. I still watched it and it was silly but and I still love it but I would have preferred that it stayed serious or at least more serious and you can tell they didn't give a s*** about the acting not that you guys can act they just didn't give you a chance to put it together. I imagine that if they hadn't done that the show would have been a super classic I mean Super Classic
More so because CBS had super strict regulations as to what could be broadcast during the family hour. .Nothing too frightening or showing children in peril. Even so far as no alluding to romantic situations between Judy and Don and no physical contact between John and Maureen!!!
+rugger digger yes I agree. Well in several interviews posted with actor Jonathan Harris it was solely his idea to change his own character from a one dimensional sinister villain to Comedic Villainy which was what Mr. Harris loved, loved to play best. From his previous acting experiences he knew in his gut that his evil character would not last long and in the Blk n Wht. episodes he started to make subtle changes. Irwin Allen noticed incoming fan mail and increase in ratings and told Harris to go with it and even gave Mr. Harris creative control of his character's lines and scenes with Bill Mumy. Harris rewrote all his lines dialog to extend and favor him. YES Irwin alien was known for recycling all the props and monster costumes reusing them over n over in other episodes and on his Voyage to the bottom of the Sea and many used in The Time Tunnel TV show as well. Lost in Space lost most of it's adult audience to Star Trek and was in competition with Batman and went total camp Mr. Harris even entertained on set visiting groups of people with kids and tourists from the trams that toured the studio's back lot from time to time. Jonathan Harris was like the ambassador to the show and loved to entertain and hold court, the kids loved him . However, the actors on the show, were very unhappy. June Lockhart said that one never walks out on a contract no mater how unhappy you are with the role because that would look horrible and haunt your career. Guy Williams was originally promised he'd be like the weekly action hero like his Disney show character Zoro defending his family. Williams and Goddard were not happy being limited in their parts and Marta Kristen was very unhappy that Irwin Allen never made good on his promise to develop the relationship between the characters Judy and Don. She was hoping they would marry.
You just put into words what I always thought too. The first series is great but when it went colour changed completely. Still loved it because it brings back happy memories of being 4 , 5 and 6 yrs old.
Lost in Space was way better than Star Trek. Better stories, more action better monsters for the most part and better motion effects. Star Trek was lame with stupid-looking aliens and poor-looking motion effects and filmography. Lost In Space had some stupid looking aliens too but most were very good. Star Trek the Wrath of Khan and Star Trek the motion picture were very good and well done. Too bad they didn't make a good motion picture of L.I.S. with the real characters and authentic looking props.
But the LIS movie with Gary Oldman was really better than any of the Trek movies. Oldman did a great job in what was a really challenging role. Could anyone else top Oldman?
I'm sorry, but you didn't have a chance against Star Trek. Comparisons: Lost in space, neutronium- fuel for Jupiter 2, not liquid or solid, but powder. Foot long canister, an infant could pick up. Star Trek- neutronium- core material from a dead star having a mass of 6,000,000,000 tons to the cubic inch. More than 1 foot, 80,000,000,000 metric tons. That was one of Lost in space's Capitol Achilles heels. They should have used another term for Jupiter 2's fuel. Anybody who knows astronomy and or stellar composition knows this. Star Trek also was more serious, more practical, more down to earth. I still like Lost in space, but, Star Trek wins- after all, it went on to make 5 major motion pictures, Lost in space made only 1. Impressive, but hardly competition. But, getting down to business, both series were iconic, and American. And that made them worth watching.
I've never heard that before. LIS was on 65-68, and Star Trek was on 66-69, with the pilot in 1965. CBS bought LIS, turning down Star Trek in favor of Lost in Space. By the time LIS "failed", Star Trek was just a year away from cancellation, itself.

Yes it sure was.
My #1 show!! thankyou for lost in space!! theres nothing better than the J-2 landings, crash landings, liftoffs ,and most of all, the engine sounds!!!
My favorite tv show of all-time!
Little girls love robots too. He, Don, and Guy were my favorites. 😊 3:35
June Lockhart is going to live forever. She looks wonderful.
I believe she was in 3 consecutive CBS programs, namely Lassie, Lost in Space and Petticoat Junction!!!
June is still alive and 98 years old...
@@Charleybones 99 now. She turns 100 in June, how ironic.
Don and Judy looked great. Oh growing up she was my dream . thanks for getting me interested in sci fi in the 60s
Sorry there was no mention of Guy Williams. He was very much underrated.
Guy Williams was definitely under used on that show. He was promised that he would be the lead action hero after his success as Zoro but then the format of the show changed much to some of the actors disappointment.
Guy was also very annoyed that Doctor Smith became a more popular character than him, and the Doctor was given more lines and a more interesting character.

Yes. I had a crush on him! He was Zorro before Lost In Space!
I was about to mention him. He was iconic.
Guy and mark as John and Don...they had it goin on , they were RUNNINIT- li
Loved the whole cast though. .
Billy has his Chuck Norris look going on. Oh, the pain, the pain.
Judy and Penny were my favorite characters on the show and I wished they had had more episodes centered around them. It was still a great show though. It was my inspiration to become an actress. I felt honored to have the same name "Judy" as the older sister.
@HSUV thank you so much!
I love how you can hear Johnathan talking to Billy during the swing back to the studio LOL!
Jonathan and Billy are best of friends. Always have been.
The now iconic Lost in Space Robot was called B-9
So many little boys back in the 1960's wanted to be Will Robinson and too have the B-9 Robot as their friend.

The Robot was so popular and perceived as all mechanical that actor Bob May was never credited for the part while the show was on the air. Irwin Allen wanted the orig. fans to think that he was real. Decades later several people recreated the B-9 robot working prop and even crated a Club for people to join to discuss building him and where to find materials and methods etc.
Actor Jonathan Harris did a One Man Show down in Australia for his many many fans and he used a working prop B-9 Robot to mix words with as they bantered back n forth. Those shows were excellent.
R I P Mr. Jonathan Harris aka Dr. Smith
R I P Mr. Bob May The Life Force inside the B-9 Robot
R I P Mr. Dick Tufeld the voice of the Robot who would shout out "Warning, Warning Will Robinson. Aliens approaching."
Will and Dr Smith and robot ....great ; all the Cast had a great influence!
Loved it then & love it now. :)
Marta Kristin must have some incredible genetics.
All of you were great I watch that thing TV specials and such like that I was only a little kid here it was awesome thank you for the memories.
This was my favorite childhood show
He crosses the roddy macdowel with the peter cushing what a delightfull fellow.
you sir are an icon, and a tremendous actor, thank you for the many years of tv,and big screen memories. if you are ever in buffalo, ny please alert me, i would love to meet you in person.
I'm glad June mentioned Paul Zastupnevich. He isn't mentioned even on the Wikipedia page for the show, yet as June said, he gave the show 'the look'.
This TV series was fantastic to me! I watched them back in my country Guatemala (in spanish) Love them all.
I love the original show; it is my entree into computers! Thanks, Robot!
I wanted an episode where Lassie shows up, saves the day, then returns to earth/rural America.
Bill Mumy looks like Chuck Norris!
I really wish they had been able to film the 2 hour TV movie with them, minus the great Guy Williams who passed away in1989, returning to earth aboard the Jupiter 2. They gave up on that project after Jonathan Harris passed away in 2002. Such a wonderful great cast. The original Lost In Space is the very best.
The opening theme music to LIS and this episode of the early show is the ring tone to my phone lol
the guy thats the carrot I think was the Tribble salesman in Star Trek and in Jerry Lewis' Errand Boy.
You are correct, sir. His name was Stanley Adams and the character in Star Trek was Cyrano Jones (almost more of an actor's name than his real name :-)
Judy is just as beautiful today as in yesteryear

And Prof. John Robinson? Nothing about Guy Williams?
I love it.
I still lovef this show
Bill Mumy looks like Chuck Norris on "Walker Texas Ranger."
Why didn't they follow through with the movie? It would have been great. The 1997 version was ok. But with the original cast. It would have been perfect. Watching the new series on Netflix. Quite good!
I think it was because Harris died before it could be shot.
This is from February 8, 2002.
They should have did a return to earth movie before Jonathan passed away, would have gotten a lot of views.
Where's Penny?
I nicknamed Celeron as celery!
You know that carrot figure is probably worth as much as the robot figure, because of it's rarity.
Lost in Space vs Star Trek... It all depends on which show was first during our early childhood where deep impressions are made. I am a Baby Boomer, so for me, Flash Gordon, Lassie, Zorro, and LIS were my shows. Star Trek came around during my teenage years.
And don't forget the puppet shows Captain Scarlet and International Rescue

I still have the plastic model robot
Judy hot then and now .😙
Guy gave one of the best speeches to some alien on why not to invade EARTH
I was thinking the same thing about her. YUM
Marta Kristen and Nancy Barrett, who played Carolyn Stoddard on Dark Shadows, were two of TV's hottest blondes in the '60's.
For sure! For sure!
What is actress Angela Cartwright doing today ?
She has a Instagram
what year was this video aired? Not long before Jonathan Harris died? :(
She says at the start of the segment "first hit the airwaves 36 years ago" which means this video was sometime in 2001. Jonathan Harris died---November 3, 2002 (aged 87)
How can they not mention Guy WIlliams? Does anyone else think that Bill Mumy resembles a young Chuck Norris?
63 and still love Lost in Space. Never cared for Star Track

Blame CBS for the drastic change to the show which had to be toned down to fit the "Family Hour" standards.
I agree. They changed it to campy because Batman was heavy competition against Lost in Space. Can you believe Batman was competition against L.I.S?

Star Trek stories were much better. Lost In Space was pure camp, much more than Trek but it's also a classic
Not all was camp though. There were quite a few episodes when they were flying in space and LIS fans like those flying in space episodes the best.
MICHAEL DAVIS: finally someone who sees the light.
But the LIS movie with Gary Oldman was really better than any of the Trek movies. Oldman did a great job in what was a really challenging role. Could anyone else top Oldman?

Not true at all. Star Trek debuted in 1966 when Lost in Space was wrapping up its first of three seasons.
