This is a video we produced for the June 2007 launch of STS-117. During preflight activities, Irwin Allen's wife Shelia donated a B9 to the KSC Visitors Center.
That robot was the absolute COOLEST robot ever designed or to appear in Sci-Fiction. For ME anyway. When you look at it closely, examine the blueprints and what all it was supposed to be able to do both on and off screen it just BTM! (Blows The Mind) Especially for early 1960's thinking and with the limitations of what they had to work with. Robert Kinoshita just knocked it out of the park. IF I could have had a Jupiter 2 & B9 robot model as a kid I'd have been.. there is no scale for measuring the happiness. I did get one of those weird looking REMCO robots. Don't get me started.
Yes, the 1965 Remco robots were god-awful representations of B9. I swear the toy company rushed that to production and didn't bother to try producing a robot that actually looked like our hero.
... I had one or two when I was young... ...and many years later in the 1990s when they did the big screen movie, I had both versions of the Robot toys (the original and movie version) that they put out as merchandising related to the movie... ...come to think of it, in the 1980s I had a small wind-up version of the B-9 that was from Japan, Matsudya was the name of the company that produced it, if I remember correctly... ...they also produced a vinyl model kit in 1/8 scale, labeled Robot YM88 for some reason... ...(as a six year old kid I just thought that robot was the COOLEST thing)...
Lost in space was part of my childhood . No doubt this show may seem illogical , but bear in mind this was a great feat in those days. This show single handedly ignited curiosity about space exploration among millions of children. Of course not all of us could go to space, but .....the watching the show is very nostalgic. Please upload all episodes, especially featuring Penny.
R.I.P. Richard Tufeld and Robert May The voice and the performer who both helped put B9 The Robot to life over the 3 seasons (1965-1968) of "Lost In Space".
I was a young boy when this came out, it mesmerised me and thought that no other show could beat it , but then came Star Trek, and then all bets were off! Still a great Family Show!
...I watched both shows as a kid, loved them both... ...but watched and loved them both for different reasons... ...was Mr. Spock one year for Halloween... ... couldn't quite figure out how to do the Robot as a Halloween costume though 🤔😐... ...oh, well...
I was born in 1960 so LIS when I began to understand it in 66(?) was far more watchable to my child mind. Like a cartoon but with a really neat spaceship and robot. I remember one episode when all these weird creatures were released I was so afraid I hid behind the couch and watched it through my fingers. I couldn't grasp ST in it's first run though I remember trying to watch it. It came and went before I was ten. But in reruns after school ST finally clicked to me and my friends in the early 70's. And it's been ST ever since. Even turned up my nose at Star Wars as a kind of ST ripoff to me at the time. LIS I still love for the B9 and J2 but beyond the first season and half it gets hard to watch to me.
@@miklosernoehazy8678 Great! if you like it that way. Everyone has their own interpretations, to each his own.. Batman was considered campy even in it's own time back then. First time I heard it described that way I was like, HUH? What's that? Found out when I grew up.
Lost in Space was the greatest kids show ever made for TV even the grown-ups like them I will always love Lost in Space a lot of great episodes from beginning to the middle to the end three cheers for Lost in Space. May the memory of Lost in Space live forever.And do you know they're still out there Lost in Space...........
If they had only stayed true to the original pilot, and avoided the silliness, but it will always be in my top 3 of TV shows from childhood and still today, the other 2 being Jonny Quest and Dark Shadows.
Hello ,I grew up in the space age , and Lost in Space was a joy to watch , The memories of this show are burned into my memory forever. Thank you for the walk down memory lane . Dan from Canada out .
As an adult it seems a bit silly and funny now, but as a kid it seemed so "real" and intense at times... The first season was the best --- I like the Black and White episodes.
It's intense and serious if you think of it as an adult. In one episode, Smith tries to warn Will about an evil man. Will won't believe him. Doctor Smith laments, "The one time I'm telling the truth, he won't believe me."
Alas, within a few episodes it became the Zachary Smith Comedy Hour. Unlike Gene Roddenberry, Irwin Allen had no vision of what a show set in space could be.
Don't forget "I detect no intelligent life in cave Will Robinson.. then Dr. Smith walks out all non-nonchalantly out of cave. lol lol Used that line on playground for weeks. (never seen you looking better Normajean good name).
Fun fact: The opera signer in the one clip was Irwin Allen’s wife, Sheila. She was the ship’s nurse in The Poseidon Adventure and the mayor’s wife in The Towering Inferno, both produced by Irwin Allen. Pays to know the boss!
This was my all time favorite. Wednesdays were the longest day of the week. Seemed like the clock stopped. Then the hour from 7:30 to 8:30 PM flew by. I remember the first time I saw an episode in color. WOW! Couldn't believe my eyes. The all the kids met on the playground early on Thursdays to reenact the last night's episode.
Lucky. I wanted to watch Lost in Space in the worst way but we lived in Alabama at the time. For some stupid reason, they wouldn't show it. The news ended with Walter Cronkite saying "Stay tuned now for Lost in Space." And then they would show something else. I was twelve years old at the time and I remember how angry it made me.
One of the great things of this early series is that the music was made by John Williams, truly a genius of incidental music. I just love it! Actually I have the same age as Bill Mumy and was a very cool character from great child and great actor. Irwin Allen, with Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, two series that made me grow my interest in science and technology.
Wow!... Now this brings back memories from my childhood. This brings me a smile from a time when life was much more easier and less stressful. Thanks for posting and taking me back to my early memories of my childhood days of watching television.
I have the robot replica about 10", that has Bob Mays voice. Bought it 22years ago, still have it and a model of Jupiter 2. When Star trek came on, then I became more of a fan of that, most sci fi I enjoy. I don't go around saying ones better than the other, I just let all of it stand for itself in presenting entertainment, as all shows are meant to be, enjoy each for what it is.
5:27 One of the greatest musical performances in TV history - I remember it as though it were yesterday! "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, BOOM." Sends chills down my spine just thinking of it!
I personally loved the Jupiter 2 and when they were flying through space and landing or taking off and the sound effects from the ship were the best...
LIS started out as a serious type of a space exploration action adventure show, then evolved into the campy territory. But when you're 7 years old you don't mind campy.
Today tv shows are not like the good old days. This show held my attention, captivated me and made me a happy little girl. Always was something to look foward to each day. My memories are fond. I will always love Lost in space.
We were young and easily amused. I LOVED Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea as a kid, now I find it unintentionally funny with rubber tentacle monsters recycled from filming Lost in Space the month before...
...some of the music for the background and atmosphere of the show was composed by Robert Drasnin... ...a young John Williams (of Star Wars fame) composed the theme for the first season...
Narrow Gate, John (Johnny) Williams wrote much more than the two themes, including nearly all of the compositions that were heard during first season episodes and used extensively thereafter. There were a set of videos pn YT (they may still be around) that broke down the brilliance of Williams' work, in the cues for "My Friend, Mr. Nobody", by someone who really knows his musical chops. They're worth seeking out, as they (and the erudite comments accompanying them) make an already moving episode, even more poignant, in retrospect. No, Williams never won any awards for his work on LIS, to my knowledge, certainly not any Emmys, though he was most deserving of consideration. Honestly, I'm not sure when awards for music scores began to be part of the Emmy Awards, though I find it very dubious that the Academy of that day, would have even given thought to so honoring a SF program, no matter how exemplary the music. Interestingly, from what I've gathered, Williams has never publicly commented on his contributions for LIS (he had done TV work before it), almost as if he were repudiating it, or distancing himself from being associated with the show, which is truly unfortunate.
", the spacecraft has passed the limits of our galaxy." Hm? Was headed to Alpha Centauri, just a little over 4 lightyears away, yet somehow, in no time flat, flew right by, and went WAY PAST the limits of our galaxy! Well, "Lost in Space" was never known for its scientific accuracy, I guess:) That said, I loved it as a little kid, and still do as a big kid!:D
Well ahead of its time and the creations they came up with Irwin Allen was a genius and I loved all his disaster movies like The Poseidon Adventure !!!!
@@alpha-omega2362 A cowardly JOKE. How many of us ever wished Prof. Robinson or MaJ. West would get enough of his over the top cowardice and just let him have a one good solid smack right in the nose or belly.?! The Robot STILL RULES overall!!!
Without Dr. Smith, Lost in Space is a brilliant serial. Watch the unaired episode of Lost in Space ( Nowhere to Hide) episode 1 is the same episode as the unaired episode Nowhere to Hide, The Reluctant Stowaway,.
Couple of years ago I purchased The Complete Series of L.I.S. on DVDs at a Walmart Supercenter. At that time 19.99 for all 3 Seasons. Barnes & Noble stores also had the Complete Series in stock, the price was higher for the boxed set. Best to call first to see if they have any in stock before going into B&N.
Twice a week! Same Bat Time, same Bat Channel! Burt Ward came to the local Chevy dealership in like 1967 and I got to meet him and get an autographed pic from him. Had the Biff! Bam! stuff on the pic like the show.
I think if not for the robot and the Jupiter 2,I never would have watched the show and as a kid I never realized she was sitting on a fake horse,lol how did I not notice that.but I loved this show.i once got a robot for Xmas.it had the handles in the back to make the arms move and the chest lit up and it rolled forward.man those were magical times and it's really disheartening when I hear adults tell their kids Santa isn't real,we find out about that soon enough but in the meantime let the kids enjoy it cause santa bringing my robot is one of my favorite childhood memories.
The B-9 Robot was designed by the same creator that built Robby The Robot back in the 1950's. Robby the Robot made two guest appearances on Lost in Space "War of the Robots' great episode. The B-9 Robot was voiced by the shows' announcer Dick Tufeld and the Robot suit was operated from inside by stunt actor Bob May. These two men literally brought the Robot to life for us kids. Irwin Allen did not want it known who operated the Robot suit until after he died. Bob May never got credit during the show for operating the Robot suit.
ntvypr, I think many more kids were habituated to being outside and active during the main part of that interval, the summer absence from school, than has been the case with children of much more recent generations.
That's funny! I was quite young then too, and we believe this was really happening. Unlike Batman which was a little too out there. I do remember wishing the Addams family were our neighbors though.
When a 3 season TV sci-fi adventure, becomes a legendary phenomenon such as this and Star trek. You know you have done something right!I sure wish they could do something right today. This show has many fond memories for me. The Pure genius of the performances had me glued as a little child once a week to the TV screen.And myself and the neighborhood Friends were "Lost In Space" on many occasions as we played in the woods surrounding Ashtabula Ohio.
Someone needs to split these scenes up into separate videos that you can send to friends that are only 15 seconds long and can be use to emphasis a humorous point. Dr. Smith forever!!!
oh God. seeing this takes me back....... W A Y back! And when I watched it,,,,in the mid '70's ,,,,, it was already in re-runs airing on afternoon tv. but it was still GREAT!!!!!
Fixed the problem with "hyperdrive". They had it but couldn't navigate safely without a navigational anchor at the destination system...Hapgood was a test pilot who violated protocol and used his test hyperdrive beyond mission parameters and disappeared setting the program back decades. Sorry, can't do anything about Tybo the talking carrot or "passing through the Zenian galaxy in the night". It's interesting that it really doesn't take much to get the show into sense if one drops the goofy kiddy episodes. Season 1 cries out for just some minor tweaks like hyperdrive above. It gets some things remarkably right, like remembering they're on a different planet that acts and evolved differently. They could also have remembered Maureen was a trained microbiologist with PhD.
A young composer named John Williams did the music for this fantastic space show. 12 years later he would compose the music for an iconic space movie...
I grew up watching this show. Looking back now it was way ahead of its time for the 1960's. The props, cast, aliens, robot,space ship etc. And of course that bumbling birdbrain Dr Smith.
At one point lost in space and batman aired at the same time, causing either filming back and forth to catch both, or the formatable tv fights with us kids
on that night, I was just over 2 years old and I quickly learned how to read the TV guide just to be able to see when the next episode was coming on. Before long the show was also runing re-runs in the morning although I could only get one per day and another on Wednesday nights....
Lost in Space was my childhood introduction to science fiction. By the time I was mature enough to appreciate Star Trek, it was already in syndication. 😏😏😏
Well, that took me back 55 years. Thank you... put a smile and a laugh on me.
Timeless!... I loved this series as a kid and always will👍
Life was so much better than we used to watch this in black and white, warning warning danger will Robinson....fantastic...
Me too !!!
Probably the best kids show in the 60s ever.

I agree. The first season was the best. The subsequent seasons was silly crap..Thats my 2 cents worth.
Alas, within a few episodes it became the Zachary Smith Comedy Hour. Unlike Gene Roddenberry, Irwin Allen had no vision of what a show set in space could be.
"Danger Will Robinson Danger"
the robot was the best part of the series.
Besides "Danger Will Robbinson, Danger!" and "Warning! Warning!" or "Caution! Caution!" the greatest line of robot B-9 was... "That does not compute!"

I WAS REALLY HAPPY BOY BACK IN 1967 WATCHING LOST IN SPACE..
I think if not for the robot and the Jupiter 2,I never would have watched the show and as a kid I never realized she was sitting on a fake horse,lol how did I not notice that.but I loved this show.i once got a robot for Xmas.it had the handles in the back to make the arms move and the chest lit up and it rolled forward.man those were magical times and it's really disheartening when I hear adults tell their kids Santa isn't real,we find out about that soon enough but in the meantime let the kids enjoy it cause santa bringing my robot is one of my favorite childhood memories.
The B-9 Robot was designed by the same creator that built Robby The Robot back in the 1950's. Robby the Robot made two guest appearances on Lost in Space "War of the Robots' great episode. The B-9 Robot was voiced by the shows' announcer Dick Tufeld and the Robot suit was operated from inside by stunt actor Bob May. These two men literally brought the Robot to life for us kids. Irwin Allen did not want it known who operated the Robot suit until after he died. Bob May never got credit during the show for operating the Robot suit.
Remember Dr. Smith always hid behind Will lol danger danger lol . Loved this show
kkkkkkkkk
WHo is here after watching Netflix series Lost in space. Such an improvement.
One of my Fav shows of ALL time! Great memories!
I couldn't wait for the next week to come and see what was going to happen next! Yep, we all miss the " good ole days" lol
Then the misery of 3-4 months of RERUNS!!! Almost NOTHING NEW... Before cable, only 3 networks, and before HBO definitely..
ntvypr, I think many more kids were habituated to being outside and active during the main part of that interval, the summer absence from school, than has been the case with children of much more recent generations.
Past the limits of our Galaxy .... you gotta love it hey !!!!
I was a small child when this came on. I really thought the robot was real. I cried when I found out he was just a guy in a suit. (sniff sniff)
Yea... I was very young when it aired. When my teenage sisters boyfriend told us the robot was a guy inside a suit, we didn't believe him.
That's funny! I was quite young then too, and we believe this was really happening. Unlike Batman which was a little too out there. I do remember wishing the Addams family were our neighbors though.
When i was a kid I thought the same of Robbie the Robot when 'he' first appeared on Forbidden Planet. Robbie was designed by the same person as B9.
Lol
So did I. Came to Australia, did a tour of a local shopping centre. I was so fascinated
It's cool that some black and white first season scenes of Lost in Space were mastered in color.
When a 3 season TV sci-fi adventure, becomes a legendary phenomenon such as this and Star trek. You know you have done something right!I sure wish they could do something right today. This show has many fond memories for me. The Pure genius of the performances had me glued as a little child once a week to the TV screen.And myself and the neighborhood Friends were "Lost In Space" on many occasions as we played in the woods surrounding Ashtabula Ohio.
Someone needs to split these scenes up into separate videos that you can send to friends that are only 15 seconds long and can be use to emphasis a humorous point. Dr. Smith forever!!!
What an absolutely brilliant show.
Loved the first two seasons of Lost in Space. After that it became the monster of the week show.
Damn, I haven't seen these since the original broadcast and yet I remember them all!
Ahhh, I sure did love this 'documentary series' on TV.
It taught me all I know about space travel, and robots ;) .
Thank you! I love this series version; the robot was my fave character; the reason I became interested in computers.
I love . Lost . In . Space !!!we would love to watch . Lost. In. Space every day it was the show back in the day!!! Just too awesome!!!.
John Williams finest work!! It's a pity they couldn't have made one last episode just to end it properly.
I loved this show. Would abandon my friends to rush in and watch it. Obsessed
oh God. seeing this takes me back....... W A Y back! And when I watched it,,,,in the mid '70's ,,,,, it was already in re-runs airing on afternoon tv. but it was still GREAT!!!!!
I like how the robot flails his arms whenever he is excited.
Timeless love this series, I will always enjoy.
I would love to watch this show as a kid. It's too bad it had to get so campy.
Fixed the problem with "hyperdrive". They had it but couldn't navigate safely without a navigational anchor at the destination system...Hapgood was a test pilot who violated protocol and used his test hyperdrive beyond mission parameters and disappeared setting the program back decades. Sorry, can't do anything about Tybo the talking carrot or "passing through the Zenian galaxy in the night". It's interesting that it really doesn't take much to get the show into sense if one drops the goofy kiddy episodes. Season 1 cries out for just some minor tweaks like hyperdrive above. It gets some things remarkably right, like remembering they're on a different planet that acts and evolved differently. They could also have remembered Maureen was a trained microbiologist with PhD.
The robot was always my favourite. He had some awesome comebacks with Dr Smith.
SMITH AND THE ROBOT.... WHAT A CLASS ACT...! MADE THE SHOW
I Loved watching "Lost in Space" when it first hit the air.
A young composer named John Williams did the music for this fantastic space show. 12 years later he would compose the music for an iconic space movie...
"Go on then.."
"TIPTOE, TO THE WINDOW, BY THE WINDOW! THAT'S Wher"
End of episode
the special FX were so cool at the time
I grew up watching this show. Looking back now it was way ahead of its time for the 1960's. The props, cast, aliens, robot,space ship etc. And of course that bumbling birdbrain Dr Smith.
This takes me back for sure. every wednesday night. wish I could do it again
Well.. they made a new version of it in 2018 just well. 2018 not 1965
I own the series on DVD and still watch them every few years
What great memories ! Loved this show !
Man do I love this show my all time favorite shows
At one point lost in space and batman aired at the same time, causing either filming back and forth to catch both, or the formatable tv fights with us kids
on that night, I was just over 2 years old and I quickly learned how to read the TV guide just to be able to see when the next episode was coming on.
Before long the show was also runing re-runs in the morning although I could only get one per day and another on Wednesday nights....
Lost in Space was my childhood introduction to science fiction. By the time I was mature enough to appreciate Star Trek, it was already in syndication. 😏😏😏
Best Robot Ever!
Intruder! Intruder! I love it!🎄🎅🎁😘
Well....I kind of liked Roby
I was seven years old almost eight . Watched this a lot .
Had a model with the buggy and a giant furry monster with a huge rock 🪨.
Remember when .
You even got in Debbie the Bloop at the end-great job my cybernetic centurion
