Loved Lost in Space as a kid. The John Williams theme for the third season was and still is great.

One wonders what the show would have been like if it had gone the way Guy Williams had though it would/should. The family dynamic vs. the uncharted dangers of deep space would have been much more interesting than the "Dr. Smith and The Robot Comedy Hour".

@@ian-fm2xc This is what the show became. It had potential to be something different, and to me, more interesting. Don’t get me wrong, I do adore Dr. Smith and the Robot (Jonathan Harris was an incredibly lovely, consummately professional man and it was a pleasure meeting him many years ago at “Chiller”) and I can still do reasonable impressions of both. That doesn’t stop me from wondering about and desiring what could have been.

I agree. It would have a chance of being actually good.

I wish the rest of LIS had retained the hard sci-fi and family surviving in the wilderness look, instead of descending into the comic mess with Dr. Smith in it. I understand that to the great regret of Irwin Allen when he allowed Jonathan harris to improvise his routines that this would cause the show to become really silly. Had it been like the first 6 episodes the whole show it could have been a worthy competitor to star trek. The only show with drama and less fantastic comedy was voyage to the bottom of the sea.

After episode 6, CBS executives decided to reformat the show as "family television", which meant eliminating anything that might frighten children or be difficult for them to understand. Hence the change from fairly good sci-fi to the pap we all remember.

I love how they were able to an apartment building with 35 foot ceilings and its own gravitational field into space. Plenty of room for Dr. Smith to stow away. But apparently the trip did something to his brain, and he became a blithering queen.

I loved Lost in Space !!! This was a great SCI FI series, the first of its kind in the early 70's. As a kid, I was not alone sitting in front of our huge black and white television for every episode, the Robinson's were the family I never had, a Father that actually cared about his wife and kids, a wonderful Mom and siblings that cared about each others well being...

Whoever put this together did a great job. Most of this footage wasn’t on the original show. You can tell because the first shows were in black and white.

Grew up on Lost in Space. Its initial season had this series take on exploration. Really enjoyed how you expanded on that.

There is a reason the main characters were the Robinson family. Sad that the show couldn’t stay with the original conception. I loved watching it as a child. It’s painful to revisit as an adult. Clear proof that the show’s makers didn’t really take it seriously.

Dr Smith .....oh how I remember wanting to strangle that man, or maroon him on some small planet . Dam good show.

This was going to be unlike any other TV show 1960s sending a family into outer space for the first time to face the unknown

I was just kid then I wouldn't miss the Lost in Space time slot just the best show!

WOW!!! You did a great job, this is wonderful!

Thank you for the post. Magnificent video. The special effects of the launch were awesome. The first season of the show is still one of my all time favorites of any show. Makes me wonder about what could have been if they had stayed with that format/formula.

Well done! 😊👍👍 Thus would be a great inaugural pilot episode 🛸 😄👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊😉

I had forgotten how much of the interior of the Jupiter 2 was recycled from The Forbidden Planet Starship C-57D. But then, they also resurrected Robbie, against type, as an 'evil' robot.

It was partially due to the time it was made. The Batman TV show and many others went for comedy and silly plots, and the networks and studios fought for audience share.

Well done as this clip was reworked.

Had to chuckle. The announcer use the term "intergalactic" for a ship limited to speed of light. I believe that might be inappropriate. "Interstellar" might be more appropriate.

Intergalactic capacity to travel to... Proxima Centauri. Seems over kill for reaching the closest star system, building a ship capable of travelling to Andromeda and Triangulum.

2 января 2034 года жители Веги получат сигнал о запуске LHC и прилетят.

First thing that caught my ear...Alpha Centari is the nearest PLANET...It is a star system!

This looks realistic

Even At the speed of light it would take 5 years to get to Alpha Centauri. That is why the suspension or freezing tubes.

It’s amazing I carry more processing power in my pocket as do all these computers.

Went from an intelligent program to profoundly stupid one. I remember it well. But then this was when BATMAN was out when campy stupid was the norm.

Hmmm. Interesting idea, that you have there. That the navigational dome that you have lowering onto the central pillar is the main computer. Implication is that the Jupiter 2, is a robot, in and of itself. Obviously the amount of data fed into it vastly exceeds what the model B-9 robot can handle... This explains much of the design of both. With each being a reflection of the job each is expected to perform. In the Jupiter 2's case the intelligence is reflected into the ship to the crew. The B-9's is reflected outward to the crew and the environment...

Don't you like how casually the crew prepare for launch with only seconds left in the countdown? One more long kiss and they would have gone into overtime!

This was a great beginning, but fellow Americans, I thought it was ridiculous for a father to kiss everyone in his family before entering into suspended animation but NOT his son. Give me a fucking break. My brother and I kiss our boys all the time, we don't shake their hands like business partners.

If I was in command, after Smith had endangered the family the first time, I would have taken Smith out back and shot him.

Jupiter 2 in the final story line, but that's Gemini XII on the launch pad, similar but different from the final Jupiter 2 design. Like the other Irwin Allen shows the series begins as serious sci-fi with a good, interesting concept. But that concept is not fully or very well developed and the show falls flat, and then Jonathan Harris took initiative and moved the show in another direction to keep the Dr. Smith character from becoming disposable.

This video has both b/w and color versions: thanks!

Personally I liked the comic relief of the robot and Smith. What I didn't like was Allen going from hard Sci-Fi to fantasy. It looked silly. The science was never strong in this one; Alpha Centauri is in our Milky Way galaxy so this was to be an inter stellar or "deep thrust" mission not inter galactic. No wonder they lost their way. Still, the space walk scene with the Milky Way galaxy in the background is scary because so far from home. If only they stayed with the space exploration idea how much longer the show may have lasted. Oh well.

Why didn’t they title it ‘Lost in space’?

Notice no mention of Element 115 in this TV series of the 1960s yet! No mention of anti gravity and advanced quantum physics. 😊

My only beef with the show was that they should've kept Smith the way he was in the 1st couple of episodes where his serious tone appeared to be more of a murderous villain. Either way i love the show, my father didn't watch the show and would get annoyed whenever he heard Smith screaming.
