Love the new forums. Much easier to use than IMDB. I posted a few time on the LIS board over there. One of my favorite TV shows ever. Yeah it's goofy but it's fun stuff. Hope to see some good discussions here.
shareWow! Love this board. Feel like I'm home again! Yes, LIS is my favorite childhood show. Even though some of it is silly, I never tire of it.....just watching it puts me back there in the good ole days!
share This was my favorite show as a kid. Once in a while it would be pre-empted and I would throw a fit. i laugh when I remember how angry I would be when they would show the little teaser for the next show and then the announcer would say 'Lost in Space' will be back in two weeks. I would go ballistic. LOL
When I saw the show years later in reruns, I realized that I prefer the black and white episodes from the first season. The show had a more serious feel to it, it was a lot more suspenseful and Dr. Robinson was the true leader of the mission. It was more like grown up science fiction. But when the show went to color there were some silly aliens.
In the color episodes the stories got a bit cartoonish and became more kiddie science fiction. Jonathan Harris's portrayal of Dr. Smith was great. He became less of an evil character and just someone who was greedy, cowardly and just looking out for himself. But the show became the Will, Robot and Dr. Smith show.
I used to wonder how Guy Williams and June Lockhart felt about being reduced to supporting characters.
Me too. I may be a true blue Trekkie but I will always be a Lost In Space fan as well.
