My favorite show as a kid ....I was totally obsessed. Still love it today!

Loved watching it as a child in the sixties, and still love it. Angela and I share the same birthday, and yes, I too had a big crush on her. Interestingly, her sister Veronica starred in the original alien movie where she came to an unfortunate end in the jaws of the alien!

I grew up watching this as a very young child. I was hooked. I loved the adventures, the technologies, the robot and Dr Smith. I liked it in black in white. It made the show more surreal. Science fiction has always been a stable in my life, but few tv shows topped Lost In Space. That is, until Star Trek premiered. Once that started, Lost In Space fizzled out.

I remember going to a toy store early 70's. I saw the B9 robot. It was huge and very realistic. I begged for It shamefully, but Christmas came and when I saw the size of one of my gifts, I knew It was the robot. We were best buddies. He kept me company every night. Especially when I became severely I'll and was hospitalized. Everyone loved my robot. Nurses, doctors, friends, family. Except for my family, that robot got me through a very tough time as a child. Never knew what became of him as the years passed, but Lost In Space was a truly awesome sci-fi tv

The original Lost in space in the 1960s I loved that program every episode Will Robinson was the best./and the robot.

My favorite show as a boy! I remember seeing some of the 1st run shows; Wednesday at 7:30 PM. But I binged the show everyday when it went into syndication everyday after school. By the time I grew out of it in the early ‘70s, I graduated into the more mature Star Trek! Still love LIS for the nostalgia. Season One still holds up!

Yes, I know the show got very silly after the first season, but overall, I loved it. It was a talented cast, but my favorite character was Dr. Smith. As a boy at the time, I envied "Will Robinson". Of course, I loved the robot as well, and that amazing spaceship, the Jupiter 2!

Loved this show as a kid of the 70s/80s. It was one of the shows I’d watch reruns as often as I could find it. Gilligans island and Ftroop were others I tried to catch.

Will (Billy) is a year younger than me. I have always thought what a wonderful 3 years of his life that would have been! He still talks with the wide eyed kids enthusiasm about Lost in Space, as he did back all those years ago.... Billy Mumy your a lucky man!

[BronzeAgeBryon]

One of the best opening themes from the years of Classic TV. John Williams scored the original. But I really loved the Season 3 Countdown intensity opener. Diamond Select or McFarland Toys needs to pick up the license for this show and kick out some great stuff. Especially the Giant Cyclops, Crush, Kill Destroy Robot, and Tybo the Carrot Man. So get cracking and just take my money.

Season One of “Lost in Space” was amazing—solid adventure.

Penny was my childhood crush (Who an I kidding I still love her )

I grew up watching Lost in Space. It was part of my childhood. They dont make good shows like this anymore, which is sad. It was a different time back in the mid 1960's. I miss those good ole days, that's for sure! I wish i could have a Time Machine and go back to visit those ole days. TV has changed so much for the worse. I would love to watch the re-runs!! ❤

The robot from Forbidden Planet was also in the episode of the prison ship. I think it was called The Condemned of Space or something like that.

Nice job here, enjoyed the interviews, photos, and even the background image of out of focus colored lights. This program Lost in Space remains a sentimental favorite of mine; watched reruns in the 1970's with my sister. We're fortunate today to have it streaming and on discs.

I still love Dr. Smith's ridiculous shenanigans ... he became so much better and more entertaining when he changed from wanting that family dead in season one to just being a selfish and lazy coward. I enjoyed the story Harris told here about Irwin Allen being all crabby on the phone about the idea for weekly "Special Guest Star" credit, grumbling for minutes and then finally muttering "Okay" and hanging up. Now that's a fun memory. I think half the stuff Jonathan Harris says about the past is essentially ballyhoo, but I don't care; he does it so well.

Bill Mumy's enthusiasm here about the role of Will is a complete hoot. But what kid at that age _wouldn't_ want to be Will Robinson and do all that cool make-believe stuff?

Thanks!

I eagerly await Part 2. Until then... the pain! The pain!

[henrikrolfsen]

Lost in Space was both unique, and a product of it's time. Remember: It was also the time of the original Batman Series! Outrageous kitsch, and farcical humor, is what made these shows so entertaining: With the end of this great era in Television, America has lost so much . . .lost so much. And we must never forget: Johnathan Harris is the one who, through his ad-lib technique, ushered in the whole "CAMP" concept for the show! All were great actors, but Johnathan Harris was pure, natural, acting genius. He made the show what it was, and thus kept it fresh and entertaining.

[hankharrison]

Sorry if I sound selfish, but I really liked Doctor Smith as a cold, evil villian; I think he played that even better than the silly over the top character he later developed.

Angela actually started work on Lost in Space at age 12, having been born on September 9th, 1952.

The Gemini 12 name came from Irwin Allen’s astrological birthday. Gemini is the astrological sun sign for June and he was born in June 12th and had nothing to do the then ongoing nasa space program.
