We did not get a color-TV until about 1972. Dad bought it without asking permission from mom. It made watching the "Rose Parade" on New Year's Day much better. No longer had to listen to the reporters saying what color the flowers & decorations and costumes/uniforms were. Mom did not want one because she said they would give people cancer.
@@jacquelinebell6201 It is very interesting to know how old you were during the time when certain shows were on years ago. I can't believe that time has gone over the years. Thanks 👍.
Irene Ryan dropped dead on the stage while singing in the Broadway play Pippin, in 1972. Heart attack right there on stage. I had a drama teacher in college who was there.
According to Wikipedia and other sources she suffered an apparent stroke during a performance and flew home and was hospitalized with an inoperable brain tumor.
They also let her get away with those things when she guested on the show along with Bob Crane. * Donna Douglas also appeared that week as a contestant, btw.
Melvin Geloneck I expect at least most of it was due to the exacting phasing and play of the game. Another portion is the poor audio quality of the auditorium, not conducive to the aforementioned play, and that live audio feed had not yet been implemented.
Yep. It was annoying. Because he would not go to a Hearing Aid store and buy a hearing aid device, he had to lean over and breathe on the celebrity player and act like the clue word was wrong. The show Producer / Director should have ordered him to buy a Hearing Aid.
If not for a last minute decision by Pernell Roberts, Guy WIlliams might never have ended up on "Lost in Space". Roberts was very unhappy with the kinds of parts that were being written for his character on "Bonanza", Adam Cartwright. He wanted out at the end of the 5th season. Williams was written into the show as Ben Cartwright's nephew, Will and a love interest was found for Adam. At the end of the season, Adam was supposed to get married and move East to work the profession that he went to college to study: engineering. Perhaps because this new plot line made his role meatier, Roberts decided to continue for another season at the 11th hour. Williams was no longer needed as a replacement to fit the existing format. Scrambling for a new resolution to the story line they had begun, a love triangle is written into the plot and Adam's fiance decides that she likes Will better. She marries Will and they ride off into the sunset. Roberts changes his mind again during the sixth season and this time sticks to his guns. Although his character is mentioned from time to time, he is never brought back. When Dan Blocker dies, they don't even have him come back for a funeral episode. David Canary ends up filling the void as "Candy", a non-relative ranch hand. Guy Williams isn't available, even if the producers had wanted him, because he has landed the lead role on "Lost in Space". It looked like Roberts made a career mistake, although he found plenty of work on stage, with TV movies and guest roles on TV, plus an occasional movie. Fourteen years after "Bonanza" he found stardom again, playing the title role in "Trapper John, M.D.", Ironically, he was playing the older version of a character (without a shred of physical resemblance) that was written off of "M*A*S*H" because the actor playing that role (Wayne Rogers) was disgruntled with the quality of the scripts he was getting, being shoved more and more into the background behind Alan Alda.
Show Biz actors and actresses think too highly of themselves. They should be happy any Network / Casting Director / Director / Talent agent had anything to do with them. High strung / self-absorbed / egotistical / one step from the Psych ward people.
It would have been funny if every time Guy Williams went to answer a question Doctor Smith or the Robot standing behind him would chime in first with the answer. They took over Lost In Space from him.
That look was not uncommon for men in the early and mid 1960's. That full "dry look" hair wasn't begun by JFK, though he did popularize it. The thing that made it popular with men was that it was the first of the "dry looks." By the time the 1960's came around men were tired of putting Brylcreem like products in their hair. Then with the longer hair of the Beetles, the "dry look" really came into being and is still with us today. And it was just as common for women to have bouffant hairdo's like Jackie Kennedy. It was just the style of the time. We really don't have "styles" anymore. People don't try to look a certain way anymore, though a lot of women have been influenced by the Kardashians. Now days, anything goes.
Williams an egoist. He couldn’t accept that Dr Smith and the Robot were massively more popular and thus getting more money than he. “Guy” kinda like the “Guy” in Rosemary’s Baby.
Whatever. Williams was a realist. He knew that focusing on the antics of the robot and the campy Smith would compromise the quality of the scripts, and it did. Smith and the robot were popular with kids. The focus on them dropped the show’s ratings and affected their advertising rates. It lead to the show being unceremoniously dropped after three seasons. I don’t blame Williams for being annoyed.
@@skipeastport5529 I agree with you. Don't get me wrong, I loved Lost In Space very much. But they should have returned to the more serious adventure drama format similar to season one for longevity. Being aired opposite of the silly Batman television show forced the decision for Lost In Space to become the campy children's fantasy. Lost In Space was a multifaceted science fiction drama. Think back to some of the best episodes of the series. Follow the leader, The keeper, The reluctant stowaway, The anti-matter man, My friend Mr Nobody, Wish upon a star, War of the robots, Trip through the robot, Return from outer space, The derelict, Condemned of space, There were giants in the earth, Ghost in space, The astral traveler, Wreck of the robot, Invaders from the fifth dimension, Wish upon a star, Attack of the monster plants, The ghost planet and The cave of the wizards and many more. All good solid episodes for multiple reasons. Lost In Space had a quality cast of actors and good ratings. IMO Lost In Space honestly deserved a forth and fifth season at least. Reaching the Alpha Centauri system and/or returning to earth as heros would have been spectacular episodes for the series.
He had the ego that every lead actor has. He was sold a certain type of show and it became silly and embarrasing to him. He was worried about his career, and rightly so
@@gerrydooley951 When an Actor has true talent, he doesn't have to worry about typecasting or other mis-castings. The talent will overcome. This "Guy" had no talent, but thought he did.
@@llongdong I doubt we're going to agree but I'll give it one more shot: Guy Williams was a competent, lead, TV actor from the 1950's. He had screen presence and charisma and was believable in the roles he played. He probably didn't have a lot of range. There were dozens of them from the '50's, some of whom got lucky and got a series and built a career. That's what Williams was trying to do, build a career. That was being threatened by the direction LIS was taking. It wasn't about ego it was about survival in a fickle business. Was Williams ever going to play Hamlet? He'd be the first to tell you no.
This was a time of professionalism and cordial interactions between people. 2021 is a mess !
I am not a mess. 🤣🤣
Absolutely.
I guite agree. The last 40 years have been the same category.
I AGREE!
so true
Guy Williams, so handsome.🥰
Agree, easy on the eyes 👀.
@@missurl4191 Yes indeed, he was amazingly handsome.
Gilbert "Gil" Shaw died in 2018 at the age of 90. He appeared to have lived a full and meaningful life!
Lost In Space Is My Favorite All Time Sci-Fi TV Shows Of All Time,
I Thought
Guy Williams
Was COOL As
John Robinson!!!!!!
@Brian Sikes: My favorite of all time, too. Brings back good memories seeing John Robinson again.
I remember seeing this very episode as a kid! But in Black & White, my parents didn't buy a color TV until Christmas time in 1968.

Can't help to smile whenever Guy smiles

Handsome GUY!!!!
Guy Williams was very handsome:-)
yes he was.. He was the reason I watched Lost in Space!!!
@@KG-VanityInKnickers Ever see him as Zorro?
@@Pashasmom1
Definitely!! Gosh, all this stuff brings back so many memories.
Zorro!
Indeed, handsome zorro too.
This show aired three days before my 11th birthday.
This was one of my favourite game shows, especially when Betty White was a guest.
I didn't know this show, back then. I was only 4 years old. Guy Williams was great in Lost in Space. He passed away way too soon.
if you think he was great in LIS you should see him in Zorro.
@@gerrydooley951 I heard that he was great in Zorro also.
I was turning six. But loved watching Lost in Space in the 70s and beyond. Guy was so handsome.
@@jacquelinebell6201 It is very interesting to know how old you were during the time when certain shows were on years ago. I can't believe that time has gone over the years. Thanks 👍.
Was there any man more "perfect" than Guy?
it was mentioned a few times
And his name is guy
Good, clean entertainment.
Yes, but you don't know what goes on behind the scenes, wink wink ;
back when 950 dollars was what 9500 is today, and back then that your could buy a new Ford Falcon for two grand.
Well on the Ford site the economy vehicle's MRSP is $28,280. So I Think the 950 would be more like $95,000 today.
@@gwens5093 l believe that is the amount to buy a used one today. In 1973 we purchased a brand new Mazda 3 for three thousand dollars. 🗺
I didn't care much for this family week experiment but loved having a whole week of 'Granny' Irene Ryan was a hoot!
I disagree I thought it was neat.
I loved watching Guy Williams. Definitely some eye candy. Loved him best as Zorro.
I thought it was pretty cool but I'm glad they didn't make a habit out of it. Once or twice a year would be enough
Irene Ryan was adorable, genuinely funny.
My mom went to high school with Guy Williams.
I respect that Irene Ryan actually tried possum inerds.
Guy seems so nice
the day this aired I was 7 years old !! Always a good show
Kevin Clements Great Show Indeed! So MANY of these people are no longer around.
It's so cool to see Password in color. I was 7 like you when this show came out. Unfortunately had to watch this in black and white in the day !
Wonderful !!!
I was 13 when this was shown...I watched it almost every day around 3.30..
I was the same age. I was born in November 1954. Blessings from California. 🦚
Too bad they did not mention Guy as Zorro he was wonderful
Love u granny ryan
Irene cooks .. "grits and jowls"
Guys hair dye looks great.
Guy was only 43 when he appeared on this so no hair dye was needed
Alan Ludden was Betty White's husband.
*Allen
Yes indeed till his death in 1984

Guy Williams died too young also.
@@randysills4418 and died in hospital April 1973.
you're probably getting confused with another actress, happens to me all the time.
It was a death sentence to get paired with Irene Ryan.
Granny was such a sweetheart. I wonder if she ever tried hog jowls too.
All of those foods were real foods. They just had weird names
Florham Park, NJ. I broke my ankle at the Florham Park Roller Skating Rink when I was 15, that was 45 years ago.
I was a year and a half when this aired..
It would be about 6 months before I'd be born when this episode newly aired.
And...?
Born just the following month after this!
I was turning 7 in Oct that year. On Irene's birthday!
Granny being a hillbilly couldn’t come up with “kin” as a synonym for family???
Exactly came to my mind😄
All Both of us
guy irene and allen left us to soon
Granny is gesturing SOOOO much, and saying two words... I'm guessing they were a bit more lenient with the rules since it was families playing?
They also let her get away with those things when she guested on the show along with Bob Crane. * Donna Douglas also appeared that week as a contestant, btw.
I wonder if Alan Ludden had hearing problems.
Melvin Geloneck I expect at least most of it was due to the exacting phasing and play of the game. Another portion is the poor audio quality of the auditorium, not conducive to the aforementioned play, and that live audio feed had not yet been implemented.
I have wondered too...
huh, what?

I would say a word that begins with the same word,,,, Post package =Parcel the P word over and over the first letter
Guy Williams would have made a good Steve McGarrett.
Guy Williams was really Mexican American and he changed his name ..I like your classic videos..
Not Mexican. His parents were from Italy. His real name was Armand Joseph Catalano
@@Rogue849 yes and specifically, Sicily.
His parents were Italian. His name Armand Joseph Catalano
you're Mexican American
Serais possible la traduction en français svp
Irene has a disadvantage going first not fair
It changes from episode to episode. In the previous episode, Guy came first
??? SOMEONE has to go first
Not fair??? lolol!
