In 1997, Earth has squandered its natural resources. The Robinson family departs Earth on the Jupiter 2 in search of a habitable planet for mankind to colonise. However, a spy from a foreign country, Dr. Smith, becomes trapped aboard while trying to sabotage the ship. Dr. Smith's extra weight causes the Jupiter 2 to be thrown off course.

  was the creepy professor that seems like a pedophile ( i don't know his name, but he's the eerie pompous one, i think he voiced a lot of animated characters in the last 10 years and then died about 4 years ago) ever in an episode of buck rogers (the Erin Gray version), i saw a guy in an episode who looked like marshall applewhite, so at first i thought it was possible that he acted for a little while, since i know he was always trying different things before he went with cult leader, but then i started to think it was this professor guy, does anyone know?less «

  :cry: Bob May, who played the Robot on LIS, died yesterday at age 69. He was always engaged in friendly banter with Dr. Smith, and was very protective of the family, particularly Will. He was featured prominently in three episodes, "Wreck Of The Robot," "Trip Through The Robot," and "Deadliest Of The Species," in which he fell for a female robot. In another episode, he sang a version of "Tiptoe Thru The Tulips" that Tiny Tim would have envied. less «

  For those who love Lost in Space and want to know if they ever made it to Alpha Centari, Bill Mumy has written a comic book that I am sure you would like.  It is called "Voyage to the Bottom of the Soul" and takes the family to Alpha Centari - but it is not all that it seems.....  You can purchase it on Billy Mumy's website.  I purchased it and consider it quite good.  I also endevored to by the other Innovation comics that he co-authored back in the early 90's. They consisted of stories bringing us up to "Voyage to the Bottom of the Soul".  It would be a must to any Lost in Space fan.  less «

  Campy now, but total fun as a kid! hide « show »

  I loved this show, and remember vividly how my friends and I would play Lost in Space. We would turn their raised outdoor patio into the main deck of the space ship, and their built-in BBQ was the perfect cockpit. The platform entry way into the house was just big enough for us to fit three imaginary freezing tubes on it! Lucky there were only ever three of us on that ship, or someone would have had to die...!
  We dressed their Scottish terrier up to be the chimp "Judy", and made their little brother, who was a huge pest, be the robot and get ordered around! We didn't have a "Dr. Smith" because everyone knew he was just a big poopyhead!
  I finally got the DVD set, but am waiting for a weekend to myself so I can have my own LIS marathon; an escape meant to harken back to the good old days...

  Good show, poor script sometimes hide « show »

  I love Lost In Space. My favorite character is Don West becuase I like Don & John but Don has a more realistic character and he's a better actor. Some episodes I HATE (like "The Promised Planet", "A Visit To Hades" and "Welcome Strangers") and some I LOVE (like "The Wreck Of The Robot", "My Friend Mr. Nobody" and "One Of Our Dogs Is Missing").Here's a brief character review:
  
  Dr. Smith: My Least Favorite Character. No real reason, it's just the type of humour which makes him "funny" doesn't appeal to me.
  Maj. West: My Favorite Character. I like him & John but he's a more realistic character and actor. It's a shame her romatic interest with Jdy wasn't shown on screen very much.
  John Robinson: He's good (along with Maj. West) but he isn't a realistic character. Just too perfect without fault.
  Maureen Robinson: Like John, no faults. Nobody has "no faults"!
  Judy Robinson: It's hard to judge her because she was very under-used. It's a shame her romatic interest with Don wasn't shown on screen very much.
  Penny Robinson: It's hard to judge her because she was under-used. She had a larger role than Judy though. A good character who's generous and has her faults.
  Will Robinson: Will is good, but he's frequently annoying. He always does what he wants and the show expresses it in a honourable way with "Growing Up" and "Young Boys".

  This show introduced me, and a whole generation, to science fiction. hide « show »

  When Lost In Space originally aired I did not get to watch it. But when I caught it in syndication a few years later I couldn't get enough, never missing an episode. The show had everything a young sci-fi fan could ask for, even if you didn't know you were a sci-fi fan. There was cute Earth girls and sexy alien women, big spaceships like the Jupiter 2 and even bigger ships that could swallow the Jupiter 2. There was the Robot (or "robut" and bubble-headed-booby) and visits by other mechanized beings including the cult favorite Robby the Robot. Everyone looks up to their Dad, but who has a Dad that can fly a spaceship and shoot a lasergun. And who has a Mother that can grow vegetables on an alien planet and cook them for dinner. Virtually every episode had a guest star, at the time it didn't mean much to me, it was years later when I would be watching something else and I would see an actor and say "I know him from somewhere, oh yeah he was the space pirate". And there was always the hope that they would make it back to Earth. At the time I didn't know how the series ended, did the family and crew of the Jupiter 2 ever make it back to Earth? I like to think they did but catch the series and see for yourself.

  I if u ask me, don't watch the reruns! hide « show »

  This intergalactic family saga is a one-of-a-kind sci-fi classic that earned an enormous following of devoted fans.
  
  Created by legendary film producer Irwen Allen, and set in the space age future of 1997 this exciting adventure series followed a typical American family, their trusty Robot, and a stowaway villain named Dr. Zachary Smith.
  
  In the year 1997, Earth is suffering from massive overpopulation.
  
  Professor John Robinson, his wife Maureen, their children (Judy, Penny and Will) and Major Don West are selected to go to the third planet in the Alpha Centauri star system to establish a colony so that other earth people can settle there.
  
  However, Doctor Zachary Smith, an agent for an enemy Government, is sent to sabotage the mission.
  
  He is successful in reprogramming the ships robot, but in the process becomes trapped on the ship.
  
  And because of his excess weight, the ship and all on board become hopelessly lost.

  One of the favorite TV shows,when I was a young boy.Funny and lovely!I saw it in black and white,because the color TV wasn´t aviable on Brazil,on those days.My favourite characters were the trick and coward Doctor Smith(That did the funniest scenes at serie)and the loyal and brave Robot.I was very sad with the piece of junk that was the theater´s version.Jonathan Harry was judicious and very smart by not had been participate from that!The theater´s version of his character was a bad joke!Someday,someone will make a good version of Lost in Space to the theater?Only God know!I hope see this serie aviable in DVD on Brazil,someday.
