    A tribute to Lost in Space - hilare!!

    Now this was a show I used to race home from school to watch, still love and still think its theme is one of the best of the generation, have it as my mobile (cell) phone's ring tone. Causes much laughing if it happens to ring and I'm on the bus or train.

    "Warning, warning, Will Robinson ... here comes Penny!"

    Oh my - fond memories of this show - I too used to watch it fairly faithfully, and every once in awhile one of the sci-fi channels will run these.

    That, and of course the old Star Trek series with William Shatner. Reading his biography book, "Up Till Now", currently when I have free moments.

    I have the Lost in Space theme (which I stole off a DVD of Season Two) as my mobile's ring tone (cell phone). If it rings and I'm on the train I always get a laugh or two. The main theme for the show was just so catchy and funky/jazzy.

    I remember Star Trek (fav episode: The Trouble With Tribbles ) but not Lost In Space. Where did the show originate?

    I was more of a Star Trek watcher growing up. The original one with
    Spock and Captain Kirk was the best one over the Deep Space Nine
    Star Trek. Remember Land of the Giants? This was before what we
    know about Jupiter today. They were supposed to have landed on
    Jupiter and there were giants on the planet.

    Rojo,

    Lost in Space originated from 20th Century Fox (Los Angeles) and was comprised of 84 episodes that began in September, 1965. More trivia on the IMDB site.

    I really loved Lost in Space as a kid. My favorite line from Dr. Smith (to the robot):

    "Quiet you bubble-headed boobie, lest I take a stick to your bubble!"

    Mkay. Thanks Kh. I don't think I've seen it then. Too bad; sounds like fun.

    Dr Smith certainly had some classic lines:

    Am I, or am I not going to receive the reverence this ceremoney deserves.

    When unveilling a statue to himself he had built on a foreign planet before an illustrious audience, er Will and the Robot.

    Quite true, CT64 ...
    Most of Dr. Smith's lines directed to the Robot were "ad lib" and seldom scripted. The story is that he stayed up late at night thinking of "word jabs" to say to the robot during the next days filming.

    Krummiest - really, fascinating. I read about a blooper and I'm hoping it's going to be on my DVD set when it turns up: aparently one of the robot's arms fell off during filming and the cast and crew fell about laughing.

    Well, i wasted an entire weekend glued to the first (and best) episodes of Lost in Space. The early black and white ones are classic, with some incredibly insightful ideas: environmental savyness, stare gates (though they called them spacegate). The last black and white episode very amusingly changes to colour about 10 minutes from the end, and the result is shocking! I'd forgotten how disgusting the colour combinations of their space outfits was/is.
