I was 10 when Lost In Space premiered. During the summer of ‘65, CBS ran TV spots showing very short tantalizing clips from their upcoming new fall shows. I was so excited all summer long. Season 1 was great, but by the third season the show was more silly shenanigans. Thankfully a little NBC show premiered in 1966 that captivated me and my older bro. It was a little series called Star Trek. 😉

There's lot's of episodes that may have become silly. Depends on everyone's point of view. I grew up watching this show and loved it. There was guest actors throughout the show however in season three some episodes started to become a little tired so to speak. From Space Bikies to Metallic Mexican to Space Pirates to Vegetables Aliens. The show became something for kids as those of us who were back in the day. Still is a very popular show otherwise regardless of the ups and downs.👍✌️🇭🇲🦘🐨

Consider that artistic concepts and cinematographic technology was completely other! After season 2, in color, the series became less scientific and more uncompromising, resorting to the comic that was already common in other shows such as Batman, for example. The quality of that today is much more sentimental than technical or content. Let's watch 50 years later and be happy with the good memories and feelings it brings.

What was the episode that Dr Smith became strong by doing exercises and was able to break of the chains from his wrists? I believe Robot recommended: “deep breathing exercises “

Even as a 10 year old child me and my friends were disappointed when Lost in Space turned goofy. My friend Phil was the son of a Fleishmann's research chemist, and loved all things science. So did I, following the space race, building models and playing with electronics and a chemistry set. Our friend Kenny was a nerd like us. We all couldn't wait for the first episode to come out, and excitedly talked about it at the first recess after the first episode... you know, while the other boys were playing dodgeball or whatever. But it wasn't long before we were all disgusted by the direction of the show, and at some point we all just stopped watching it. I always felt that the producers of Lost in Space ruined an amazing opportunity in not sticking to the original direction, and not going childlike and goofy. Kids are smart, and I know of no one who grew up on this show and didn't think it had not become a laughing stock.

A fourth season was contemplated until the very end; believe it or not, the network would have cut its budget a full 25% for that one -- a sum for which Irwin Allen refused to produce it. Cuts in succeeding years of a show like this are expected -- most of the expensive sets, props, costumes, and stock visual effects required having been bought for the first season -- but a cut of that extent was ridiculous. LiS never fell out of the top 35 shows during its 3-year run, and almost cracked the Top 20 once IIRC. By contrast, ST: TOS was mired in the 50s throughout its run of similar length.

I think they went the "campy" route to keep the cost down on the show. If they would have kept it serious, it would have involved more space travel, better make up & costumes for aliens. One main reason they put the transporter on Star Trek was to save money for having space shuttle scenes, prob not an option for perceived 1999 tech. As a kid, I liked the more seriousness of the first number of episodes, but as an adult, the campiness of the show and the robot zingers are hilarious.

I f-ing love Lost in Space.

These scenes (note none are from the darker First Season) are a reason why the show acquired such an ambivalent reputation with most audiences throughout the later decades of the 20 century. But due to high ratings in syndication and the overall success of the comic books (both the Gold Key and later Innovation run)- Hollywood kept reviving the property with the newest Netflix show being quite successful.

Part of me, when I was a kid, wished that they kept the serious exploration tone of the first several episodes, but now I get a kick out of how campy it was and how non-scientific it became, in one episode Doctor Smith programmed the navigation for the ship to return to earth, but they informed him the sun was in the way, like that was an issue for ship that could fly half way around the galaxy., not being able to get around the sun-lol

Will with Smith's face - actually was quite scary for kids at the time. Yes, Lost in Space, although for adults in the first series, became a show for children when these 'run out of idea' episodes appeared. It would have been better to have a six month break - and look at Startrek - if ideas were running thin, before going on. I'm glad the sexism had disappeared by the first Lost In Space movie. Gary Oldman was great at bringing Smith into reality - and still keeping the same character. I wished that they could have continued with this version - before they aged too much. That Penny was great too. Dr Robinson with a beard was also a good change. The one thing that always interfered with the original - was that the Jupiter II was not a TARDIS - the dimensions of the ship needed a perhaps gradual enlargening over time, for the lower decks and the space pod etc. {The chariot looked like it was easily reassembled.] About twice the width and height, [with the main window diminished to fit] would give enough height for three floor levels. The largest floor would have to be around the 'equator' of the Jupiter II - to accommodate all the sleeping quarters and galley etc. I have yet to see an animated version of the Jupiter II redone in a proper size - which should be able to be done with today's video tech. We could easily have colourisation of the more realistic first episodes too. Many black and white programs had very good quality, and could be superimposed with computer graphics where the scene needs them.

The clear up the air and negative posts, season 1 waspure scifi no doubt. Jonathan Harris knew that his snarling villain would have to be killed off, so he added some comedy to Dr. Smith to gain sympathy from the viewers and it worked. Irwin Allen liked it and wanted him to do more, thus Dr. Smith became the focal point of the show. Mr. Harris did not screw up the show. On the contrary, he saved it. Had another person been cast as Dr. Smith, we would not be talking about the show today. Now, if you knew anything about 1960's TV, by the second season, Lost in Space was going up against Batman filmed in color and campy. Irwin Allen being the smart man he was knew in order to survive, the show had to change. This is the reason season 2 was campy. By season 3, the show changed its format again. The Great Vegetable Rebellion may look campy, but can you seriously say Star Trek was any better? "The Trouble with Tribbles". This show is a good clean wholesome family show. Personally, I prefer it over the crap on TV now. BTW... this so called bad TV show was going to have a season 4, but the network wanted to cut the budget, so, Irwin Allen pulled the plug. The ratings were still good. To all you people that want to trash this gem I have one thing to say... "It Does Not Compute!"

There has been a lot of criticism of the new version - but some of the critics must have forgotten just how dreadful the original series could be at times.

True, but you’ll observe that all the scenes here are in color, meaning they are from seasons 2 and 3. The first season, telecast in black and white, was actually very good fo4 the time and is still a classic.

@@LakewoodDallas Well most of season one and many episodes if season 3 were really good but I just couldn't reconcile high adventure and intelligent story lines with dragons and intergalactic con men - not to mention sticks of celery

I had a laptop with a "celery" microchip, called the Celeron!

It was a COOL show.....After school, Ma had a snack for us....Man' WE had a GREAT Time!!!!! Thanks MA!!!!!!!

once upon a time when scifi was not a pretentious and seriously repetitive paranoid business...

season 3 the Demise of one of the Best Space Shows on TV.....FOOLS!!! they should have Fired Harris before Season 3...No wonder why GUY WILLIAMS didnt Like him......

Todo excelente, 💕

The original series’ brilliant beauty was that it was obnoxiously over the top - with horrible props, costumes, and childish special effects! And yet their amateurish antics and ridiculous storylines were utterly captivating. Dr.Smith was irritatingly entertaining, and curiously enough in the midst of all that clumsy and experimental space comedy some of the characters even took themselves seriously! The wisecracking robot was my favorite persona.

Most people today would not understand what this is... it is called "inocent entertainment" and a "classic" the made my imagination as a child expand

Still my favorite show.

Dr. Smith along with Mr. Kimble from 'Green acres' funniest character parts from 60's TV.. Robert at 67.

The first five or six episodes of the first season were quite good. After that point, with the exception of "The Keeper," a two-part episode later in the first season, the series degenerated into Dr. Smith's comedic antics.

Ridiculous? Maybe. But as long as there was Dr.Smith, Will Robinson and the Robot it was always fun.And June Lockhart always looked good! It was always entertaining and a blast to watch, so much so that I DVR it every week when it`s on Me TV.

I liked LIS too, even though it didn’t take me long, even as a kid, to notice how silly this show all too often was(Captain Kirk would have tossed Doctor Smith in the brig in 5 minutes, tops!) Pity though LIS didn’t get a 4th season. I wonder if they could have had a show where Doctor Smith actually does something brave & heroic(like save one of the Robinson’s’ lives)& become more of a good guy(maybe even say something nice to the Robot...)

My favorite was when dr smith was turned into a vegetable and had his own song. Can you ken doctor Smith with his peas and his greens in the morning.? Truly a masterpiece of insanity.

Makes you wonder what the writers might have been smoking. 😏

Ridiculously entertaining and funny!

Anyone who thought the Gorn in Star Trek was ridiculous should see that suit at 0:16 in the video.

Smith should've been tossed overboard from the beginning, but the majority of the episodes revolve around his manipulation of the crew an Aliens they confront. So he can get back to earth. Even though he tried to sabotage the mission an kill everyone, they treated him kindly an trusted him to a point. His manipulation was a basic premise of the show. It became campy though an that's the reason viewership went down. Sad demise for what started out as a serious space adventure.

Alien: “You not girl!” Smith: “Not all the time.”

Hey. Those are my childhood memories.

Good actors, terrible writers and a diminishing budget.

Good campy fun.

This is a great list because it is truly from the most dreadful (but still charming) episodes of the series...though I do like Space Destructors. Castles in Space has got to be the worst ever though The Questing Beast is very close.

Agreed. For my money, "Mutiny in Space", is almost literally unwatchable -- due to Ronald Long's non-stop, water buffalo-like bellowing.

The name Mr Kidnoe was said 31 times in Mutiny in Space.
