This by far was the better of the two theme songs! This version pops more alot hipper! From 1968 I was 8 years old and it still gives me goosebumps listening to it. Kudos to Mr. John Williams & his Orchestra.
This is THE "Lost in Space" theme! It is also one of the GREAT television themes of all time. JUST GORGEOUS! And...I can enjoy it...right here on Earth!
I'm 51 years old and I STILL get goosebumps when I hear the Season 3 theme song. Takes me back to being a kid and the summertime reruns. I couldn't wait for season 3! ❤️😊
It was even more exciting if you were there at the time. I remember being a little kid, watching that first episode of the season, and suddenly the screen freezes and that countdown starts, with the new music... it was genuinely thrilling.
As soon as I hear that music i'm instantly transported back to the house where I grew up. A small, wide eyed 11 year old boy, sitting in front of the warm glow of the new COLOR tv we just got, hanging on to my best friend, Charlie, the family pooch. Eagerly waiting with great anticipation for the show to start. It didn't matter to me that I'd be in trouble once again tomorrow at school for for not having my homework done. All that mattered was that for the next 60 minutes I was going to have a new adventure with my tv family, the Robinsons. Funny how such strong memories can be triggered by such things.
Marc - and now, sitting in your trailer park, clutching your mutt, watching your 5-inch cathode-ray TV, you really wish you had done your homework and becomes a doctor like your mom intended. So sad how LOST IN SPACE ruined your life...
Jesus . . . you're just a couple of years older than me. You probably grew up in middle America . . . I was forced to go to boarding school in England. But every time I'd get back to America I'd haunt shows like this . . . Time Tunnel, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits (the ORIGINAL). Now, what is there . . .? CISMiami, Desperate Housetwats . . . PATHETIC. Ours was truly a Golden Age.
Absolutely Marc...did the same thing...zI could always get the homework done later. It never hurt me..I'm a teacher with two master degrees. Wonderful memories .
somehow i doubt the description you provided is totally accurate. if your tv had a glow that was warm it was probably on the verge of malfunction and radiating highly charged electrons (not good). based on your comment it seems you had an issue with late/lack of homework which suggests to me your caregivers didnt care either. you described yourself as small, wide eyed and im curious how you knew what you looked like if you were watching tv. something is amiss in your story...
Once again, Maestro Williams caught the imagination and the contemporary beat of America in space...what a brilliant man! To drop his original theme on request and come up with a new one in less than a year...? Maestro, maestro!
The count down and the horn section, so regal so underrated. Love you LIS, hope to see you soul of a family against all odds prevail beyond the last season.
My number 1 theme of all time. Loved it as a kid and at 51 it still holds its own and then some. loved Lost In Space. John Williams to me is a master at scores and as far as this theme goes John its a 10 out of 10. Thanks for making my youth and to this day special. your work on Lost In Space will live on for many generations to come. that does compute.
What other music has he done? Ok, after reading through the comments, I see that he did the music for Star Wars. I'm not into Star Wars, though. What else has he done? I just love the Lost in Space music! 👏👍❤️
I grew up in the 80's watching reruns of this on Sunday before Church. Remember my dad always saying Major West should have taken Dr Smith out for a long walk on a short cliff. lol
I haven't heard this theme song for over fifty years now. I'm sitting in the living room of my parents' home in 1968/9, watching the next thrilling episode of LIS on the black and white TV. Like all the great theme tunes from that long-vanished period, I can recall them in a blink of an eye. Great stuff.
I was shocked to learn recently they only did the countdown in season 3, the other 2 were animated, the countdown always added to the suspense, and "here we go"
Considering the real-world space launches at the time - maybe up to present day - I can see why Irwin Allen and company figured a countdown would resonate with viewers.
What I love about this is that William's original theme was scary, tense, and anxious, filled with staccato percussion and depressed and falling notes and scales. I'm not sure why the decision was made to switch themes when they went to color, but this theme has a much better sense of (literal) space, and is ebullient and celebratory of the idea of space travel and the unknown. It was much more suited to the hope and promise of the space race we were in at the time! 8^D
More than FIFTY years later and this 3rd season theme song from John Williams can still still give me the chills of anticipation and excitement about seeing the show. In the past I have seen and heard school marching bands and orchestras play cover versions of this theme song and thought that sooooo very cool.
Best Theme Song EVER! The credits are SO much more exciting in the thrid season. John Williams managed to come up with a great improvement in this, his second Lost In Space theme. I have always loved the 7 to 1 countdown, but always wondered why they started at 7 insteard of 10!
Vinny DeRosa was a legendary session player who suggested to John Williams to write cues for the horn. John Williams has said that DeRosa was instrumental (literally) in directing Williams to write virtuoso horn cues. Many the great television and motion pictures you have seen have included solos written for Vince DeRosa.
You just have to love that John WIlliams music...even the incidental themes at the start of the story!....and Now Star Wars...the biggest movie ever made!!!
I transitioned to this pepped up theme easily in the early 70's as a tot , it was exciting ! I was absolutely consumed with this show, especially the robot. I got mad when my father & older brother pointed out why it couldn't be real : )
Season 3 had the best theme & opening credits. The theme is so intense. Lost in Space & Batman were my jam. I was 4 when both Lost in Space and Batman ended in 1968. Good memories.
This mysterious, chilling tv theme always caught me off guard and scared the crap outta me! Still puts a little chill up my back. Those were the days! ;)
Yes you had to be prepared during the first show part that as soon as things started getting strangely spookily wrong in some way, any second the music would suddenly start in its hyper way with the big numbers countdown! ;-)
Always loved that countdown opening for season 3 of LIS! Even all these years later it still excites me when the picture freezes and the countdown begins! Great memories! I was born in '65 so I didn't get around to watching the show until it was in reruns in the 1970s.
Not to be repetitive, but thank you for posting this introduction! I always loved how they froze frame and went immediately to the countdown. It was extremely catchy and really pulled You into the episode with this toe tapping beat. Absolutely brilliant.
Much more powerful and dynamic theme. I love it so much more than the other theme (which is a really great theme). When I worked with John William's son Joseph, he said John was upset that producer Irwin Allen wanted him do another theme to the show, but this time to do it in a more "pop" style. John didn't like it but he did it and I think he really upped his game here. I love this theme. He downplayed the "pop" by blending it with a dynamic theme, somehow taking the "curse" off of the "pop" aspect. John Williams just has this amazing way of coming up with the coolest, most memorable themes. Interesting to note that whenever they do a bit on LOST IN SPACE anywhere in the media the theme they always play is this one, the third season theme.
What I loved about this theme song were the "ascending" notes.... like we were all blasting off with them (esp. Dr. Smith).."Oh the pain..the pain"...!
@@peacockblue8407 Season 3 like here: You had to be prepared watching the very start plot portion before the intro theme...as soon as it starts getting newly straaaaaange...any second the 7 etc countdown and tension music intro might start!
Very few, if any, current programming has an opening theme (sadly)...networks have to use every last precious second for commercials...lovers of money today..
this is the first piece of music at the age of 8 that made me emotional to the point of tears, i couldnt wait for seasons 1&2 to be over to hear this theme its so catchy its simply brilliant from the most brilliant composer of our time john williams
I adore the sudden freeze and countdown tune almost like a crescendo leading into the intro that puts you on the edge of your seat. They certainly knew how to make good TV back then. Limited technology - unlimited imaginations.
Still remember to this day hearing this version of the theme song for the first time and my reaction. Was a favorite then and I still enjoy it. Plus, if you listen to it, you can pick out bits of other themes Williams wrote during that time.
It can be hard describe how the 3rd season intro was so superior, except for you are seeing the action waiting for the countdown like a bomb about to blow. Suddenly, there is a moment of sudden tension and shock and the countdown begins with you setting for the adventure to come!
I agree. This intro started it all and culminated with the 20th Century Fox look and the Star Wars phenomenon. Without Irwin Allen you wouldn't have Star Wars.
I remember it very well from 1967 when Lost in Space began it's final season with the ramped up opening credits and theme music. Marcel Hillaire had a recurring role as the junk man in Junkyard In Space. And the 2nd appearance Of Robby The Robot. I believe the title Special Guest Stat Jonathan Harris had something related to billing. The late actor Kurt Kasznar, Fitzhugh from Land of the Giants, had special guest star billing in the 2nd season.
+Marc Parella I was born in 1965 when this show debuted. Also Dean Martin, The FBI, Wild Wild West, I Dream Of Jeannie, Get Smart, Hogan's Heros, made there debut in 1965.
What started out with the first mabe 8 episodes which were adventurous quickly became stupid once dr.smith became the star. What were the producer thinking? Could have been a good show but they blew it. I know lots of fans feel the same way.
Amen to that. Irwin Allen's original concept, titled "Space Family Robinson" was intended as a straightforward futuristic dramatic adaptation of "Swiss Family Robinson." This carried over into most of the first season. However, due to the successful farcical adaptation of "Batman" and its huge ratings of the time, "Lost in Space" gradually evolved by its 3rd season into a spoof of itself. "Star Trek" wasn't immune, either, until Gene Roddenberry took charge again by the end of the last season.
GOD BLESS Joh Williams for re-writing this theme.....the first was AWESOME, however this one captured more of the 'MOD' theme of the late 60s ....maestro, maestro!
This by far was the better of the two theme songs! This version pops more alot hipper! From 1968 I was 8 years old and it still gives me goosebumps listening to it. Kudos to Mr. John Williams & his Orchestra.

I was six and I still get goosebumps too

Too true. That countdown from the beginning was a big hook for me when watched this way back.

Rip mark goddard your space journeys will remain with us forever
That's because John Williams is a genius and his music will still be played hundreds of years from now!

Thank you John Williams for your music and always loved this theme.
The countdown and theme music intro got me ready for some inter-stellar action with the Robinson’s!!!!!! One of my fondest memories of youth.
THIS WAS THE BEST THEME OF ALL THE TELEVISION SHOWS ON! AND IT IS STILL THE BEST EVEN TO THIS DAY! I STILL GET CHILLS WHEN THAT COUNTDOWN STARTS!
This is one of the greatest TV themes in history. Coming in right after the episode intro, simply Heaven!

@@wendysw714 Hi. He did the GREAT "Jurassic Park" theme, among others. Do a search on composer John Williams.
There's something about this intro that instantly transports me back to the 1960's.
Jonathan Harris (aka Dr. Smith) was listed as a "Special Guest Star" even though he was in every single episode.
Daniel Pena I saw on a biography on CZcams he asked for that from the producer. He liked things his way, lol.
I guess "Regular Guest Star" didn't sound as catchy.
@@tomshelton1447 😂
Arrogant guest star is more like it. Never cared for "dr smith"...Mr Harris
That French Horn 16th note run...just brilliant.
The genius, John Williams. What a great theme song! One of the best ever!
I LOVED THAT SEASON 3 OPENING and THEME MUSIC!!! Always gave me goosebumps, starting with the countdown! It still does to this day!
My favorite of the intros
I grew up in the 80's watching reruns of this on Sunday before Church. Remember my dad always saying Major West should have taken Dr Smith out for a long walk on a short cliff. lol
It's really a long walk off a short pier but he was right in the logic..

One of the most brilliant introductions/themes regardless of how the show followed.
Completely agree on this.

All the Lost in Space intros are great
This is the best intro music of the series, it's epic in scope, fast paced and catchy. Such a good show!
To give you an idea of how old this show is, John Williams is listed as "Johnny Williams" in the closing credits of each episode. :)
Catzilla wow I never knew it was John Williams who did the theme to this show! Thanks for pointing that out.
Johnny was the star of the music and Guy was the star of the acting :)

I always liked the dramatic countdown in the beginning.
This was the better of the two theme songs. Gave me the feeling of danger while retaining the whimsical nature of the show! Thanks for uploading this.
This version was so much the better that it was used in the 1998 film and the 2018 Netflix series.

I asked most of the cast which version they like better. They like the first season. I like this one.
Mark Goddard aka Don West of Lost in Space 1936-2023. I met him once 10 years ago with Marta Kristen (Judy Robinson).
As a kid I loved this show and when this opening came on it was so good. Never forget watching this for the first time.
God I love this opening. I think I already commented saying that, but I love it so, so much.
I don't know which I prefer more, the LIS opening music or the one from Hawaii Five-O.
What I loved about this theme song were the "ascending" notes.... like we were all blasting off with them (esp. Dr. Smith).."Oh the pain..the pain"...!

😹 ha-ha-ha! sounds like something i'd do! 😅
Amen to that. Irwin Allen's original concept, titled "Space Family Robinson" was intended as a straightforward futuristic dramatic adaptation of "Swiss Family Robinson." This carried over into most of the first season. However, due to the successful farcical adaptation of "Batman" and its huge ratings of the time, "Lost in Space" gradually evolved by its 3rd season into a spoof of itself. "Star Trek" wasn't immune, either, until Gene Roddenberry took charge again by the end of the last season.
