The first year of Lost in Space growing up in the 1960's was amazing! Still have fond memories of that first year and really miss that kind of good clean sci-fi.
I completely understand your preference for the first year. As the show got more ridiculous people forgot Smith killed a guy to get on the the Jupiter 2.
I enjoyed the original TV show. It was cheesy, but fun. Loved the theatrical movies too. The Netflix updated storyline was outstanding. Looking forward to season 3.
My whole family enjoyed the Netflix show. I thought it would be cheesy and suck, especially with the bi racial family line and Parker Posey being Dr Smith. Instead this shows how you can update an old series without being condescending and have a strong story line.
Billy Mumy had acting ability well beyond his young years & was a key part of the success of the show. I recall his part in "Dear Brigitte" & thinking how ... well, cute he was.
He also appeared three times on the Twilight Zone. This kid could act. He also did a great Munsters episode "Come Back Googie" that was funny as hell. He played a real brat in that one.
I’m couldn’t help but smile. This is an awesome moment to see. I’ve watched all the lost in space content from the 60s tv show to the 1998 movie to the 2018 reboot.
When Irwin Allen exposed to all of us kids at the time that robot actually had a man inside the armour, well we suspected but our active kids imagination , we were so disapointed it was just like someone said thier is no such thing as Santa I personally and I know many kids of the day we talked about it at school during recess and lunch yep ,we were devistated cheers from a no1 fan in australia we were hooked from the first episode cheers ,
What I think is hilarious is that Billy Mumy went to see the Doors at the Aquarius Theater in LA in 1969, shot some famous photos of, and got to meet, Jim Morrison. Talk about REALLY lost in space. :-D "Danger, Will Robinson, danger, danger!"
Well Bill Mumy did have a small roll in season 1 and 2 of the new series as the true Dr. Smith, his identity stolen by June Harris (Parker Posey), hopefully he'll show up again in season 3
@@FerretJohn when I was a teenager I heard there were plans for the original family to return to earth back in 2002. When Harris died the plans were shut down. The original family needs to return to earth. Long overdue.
@@terrrell7798 If there was I never heard of it. Guy Williams, John Robinson, grew embittered over the shows increasingly campy nature in season 2 and 3 and retired from acting after the shows cancellation. He died in 1989 so obviously he wouldn't have been in it if they were thinking of a reunion show. There was apparently an attempted reboot in 2004, but with a whole different cast. They produced a pilot episode directed, by John Woo of all people, but it was never picked up
I have the entire 1st season on VHS that I purchased a month ago at a thrift store. I was going to dub to DVD but my Dubber went on the fritz. Anxious to view them.
Theme song was sung by Karen Carpenter. A song in the movie, "Lost", later had the music(sans words) used by an Olympic figure skating gold medal winner(I believe it was Nadia Komanich) for her performance, and it came to be known as "Nadia's Theme"
WTF are you talking about. They have a lot of visual keys to the TOS j2. We didnt need an exact spherical ship. Also the Robot from TOS would look ridiculous to modern children eyes. It's not all about you...you know...😂
I enjoyed the series and once had them all on VHS, but now on DVD ( takes up less space). I never cared much for the remake movie though. I watch the series about every 3 years.
So....now that the series has wrapped, does anyone have any ideas about the fate of the real Doctor Smith as played by Bill Mumy? Did he survive somehow or was he destroyed with the Resolute?
How did they create this robot? I am assuming inside the robot their is a very thin tiny person in a suit but I thought that maybe it might be a sophisticated drone. Does anybody know?
Someone is inside the robot and in the forearms there are probably buttons to open and close the hands. The shoulders were the giveaway that this was a suit and honestly I couldn't be happier that they went with that approach
@@SchardtCinematic I liked it. We are only getting 30 episodes so it really doesnt matter. The humanoid version allowed them to keep an actor in a suit. It they had a clunky robot like the original series it would not have been as believable. There were so many instances in the original series where they just completely ignored the fact that the robot was too big to go down stairs or a small opening. They would just to cut a scene when he was already there. I love the original show but I did not want this to be a carbon copy. I'm glad they kept some styling cues and characters but I enjoyed the updates. Sadly we really wont get much character development with only 30 episodes. They tried to play it off as if it was planned for 30 episodes. I dont believe the writer. Netflix gave him a contract to develop other stuff after so hes gonna talk it up as if he planned it all along....😂
@@SchardtCinematic Well all I know is that we probably will be in. Nursing homes or dead by the time they end up doing a LIS with some longevity...its bad enough that most shows on streaming are only 10 or 13 eps per season, its worse that most dont make it past season 3...
do like that they went for a closed ending or have they but just with only one more season I'm afraid they might be rushing the end still looking forward to it
@@ghidorah15 Exactly, a good blend of practical and digital effects makes it more effective on screen this even makes the actors' performances more effective as well.
That does not seem like a robot to me for some reason. I realize it's supposed to be the future and stuff but it just looks like someone in a rubber suit, like the Black Lagoon creature
I m very happy to see this actor married with children and free from the social desconstruction that occurred in his generation. No Brasil, poucos escaparam de se tornar drogados ou homossexuais.
It's a person inside a robot suit, I also wanted to point out the reason that the Jupiter 2 is real and not al cgi! I really want to see it in real life but probably not going to happen
The reason the future lost in space shows failed was because the writers forgot who the actual star of the show was… When you watch the Star Trek movies the writers made sure to keep the ENTERPRISE ( with very few modifications) as it was in the TV show…
If you watch the first 4 episodes of the original LIS in season 1, Maureen and Judy had initiative. Like they saved John Robinson and Don West in the early episodes, and were doing science, but then they were reduced to damsels in distress, cooking, cleaning, gardening, and laundry duties or in the background. Penny though had it worst as they didn't give her as much to do from the start, other than she had to be rescued by Will. The new shows attempted to correct this neglected element of empowered women. Now this wasn't a new thing for space opera in the 60s, as we had an earlier show called Space Patrol in the early 1950s, where the women were scientists, explorers, pilots, gunslinger, and went on space missions alongside the men. The only drawback was that they still had to be rescued by the men, yet there were some episodes where they saved themselves. Overall, LIS had the chance to really push the envelope for women adventurers, but it was bogged down by regulating the women to stereotypical "feminine" roles later on.
I really like the original show when it first aired. By the end of season one I was really getting sick of Dr Smith. I watched just a few episodes of season 2 & quit watching it because of said dislike of Smith. When the new show aired, I waited until I could get it through net flix. It didn't take long for my same refulsion of the Dr Smith character, so I stopped watching it again. I feel that this show could have been so much more if they would have dumped the Smith thing & concentrated on the families survival skills & needs. Some alien monster, every once in a while, ok. It was a bit cheesy even for a 9&10 yr old even back then.
I don't know why they had to screw up the innocence of that show, and as part of that make this "thing" they call a robot. There's no reason humans would design a robot like that. I never saw the movie. No point.
STFU and move on. This is not the original show. It is a very well done remake and is not nearly as dark as your feeble old mind would have it....smh....time to move on old man...😂
@@Anth230 - You ain't kidding it is not the original show. Nowhere near it. Not a "remake" but an attempt to guarantee "someone" will see it for the nostalgia (people like me) but I don't take the bait. They are too lacking in creativity to come up with something new (which I've done) so all they can do is use something old.
@@1001Hobbies Shut up. The new show is original in it's own way. Take your close minded feeble self and go contimue to live in the past. While the rest of us enjoy new stuff....smh
I don't think you understand that this robot is completely different from that of the original show. Spend an hour and watch the first episode and you'll understand that this robot looks so alien BECAUSE it's an alien.
And it wasn't the humans who created the robots. In this take they're from an entirely different star system and never even would have been known about if one of them hadn't crash landed on earth....and promptly be held prisoner by humans when he's too damaged to be able to defend himself
I met him at a convention once. An incredibly kind and gracious man. Everything you would want your childhood hero to be.
A friend of mine met him at ComicCon in San Diego once and said the same thing about him. I wish I had had that privilege.
I was a kid again when Bill Mumy said "two steps forward my mechanical friend"!
Bill Mumy was one of the greatest child actors their ever has been or will be.
The first year of Lost in Space growing up in the 1960's was amazing! Still have fond memories of that first year and really miss that kind of good clean sci-fi.

"Two steps forward my mechanical friend." Wow. I choked up a bit when he said that.
Walks of a cliff scene? Or do you mean like will to robot?
-edit i get it its a line from the lost in space show 🤦♀️
so cool him visiting the new ship and interacting with the new robot,

As much I liked him in Lost in Space he will always be the lovelorn Lenier from Babylon 5
Dude he also was on Star Trek and play two Characters on Babylon 5.
He also appeared three times on the Twilight Zone. This kid could act. He also did a great Munsters episode "Come Back Googie" that was funny as hell. He played a real brat in that one.
When I was a young lad I wanted to be Will Robinson and have a robot, laser pistol, and jetpack.
...and now i'm an old geezer and i STILL want a robot, laser pistol, and jetpack - lol
@@billgee02 I'm a geezer too. I still want a laser pistol, REALLY want a robot helper, but these days can skip the jetpack.

Billy Mumy in the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life" was maybe his best work ever.
This is now my favorite video on youtube
Never saw this one before ,,,,, cool .
I look forward to your show every day!!!
Billy was the kid we all wanted to be. lol
I still remember lost in space, it was one of my favorites when j was a kid, still remember the arguments between Mr smith and the robot. 😁
"Friend, Will Robinson" ... grabbing a tissue.
"Danger! Danger of over-acting, Will Robinson!"
It was nice being a kid in the 1960s, as what looks so corny on L.I.S. today seemed so real then.
My heart is full 🌝

As much as I wanted to love the movie and this Netflix series, there's just nothing like the real thing.
They need to do a series with the original Will and the new robot. The music added to this scene makes it impactful.. I'LL SCRIPT IT

There was a film Mumy was in, circa 1970's, that he might wish to forget, called "Bless the Beasts and the Children"

Danger Will Robinson danger!!!
Would like to see all the LIS robots from the TOS, both from 1998 movie, the unaired pilot, and this one together
They should have kept a closer design to the J-2 and the Robot. I would have been more pleased,,, some things you just don't touch.
