Bill Mummy was involved with a band and wrote for Marvel and was in at least one other television show after Lost in Space. It is said his comic book collection dates back to at least the 1950s and is out of this world!
Yes. All the cast were an excellent set-up of good actors. However, Jonathan Harris was a truly outstanding Shakesperean actor -- he was a professional theatrical actor in nyc. Irwin Allen was also a formidable arts manager, set director and executive. Brasil Brasil
The evergreen Dr Smith, the voice ,the mannerisms, and his quips about the robot just roll of his tongue. Nobody could ever replace him, i just hope there are lots of people out there who enjoyed this series as much as i did.
Harris felt the original Dr Smith was too dark and scarey for children so he reinvented the Smith character to what we know and love. Jonathan Harris IS Dr Smith.
I met Harris when my uncle's architectural firm was contracted by him to build an addition on his CA home. The job took two months, and I worked on the project over a summer. Harris was only there for about two weeks during the construction, but I had the opportunity to talk briefly with him on several occasions. Very cordial, down-to-earth guy, and when the job was completed, he took the entire crew out for dinner. Greatt experience. I didn't know until then what a long career he's had.
I love how Johnathan and Billy are playing their parts its like they never stopped just like still being on the show! :-) Amazing people show and actors We need stuff like this nowadays probly a once in a lifetime experiance but I'm glad I was around to be a part of it
Its funny to think how successful the show was and how much we all enjoyed it. Honestly, it was one of a number of TV shows that went against the odds yet managed to do so well in the viewer rating.
@@mordecaiesther3591 Close. The series ended in 1968 and this was a documentary about the show from 1998. This scene was how they finished the documentary. The timing was probably intended to coincide with the 1998 movie remake (the movie made a profit but was a critical flop).
It was the final scene in the Lost in Space documentary Lost in Space Forever. I seen it when it aired on TV years ago. And it's also been released on DVD. After seeing this scene, it kind of made me want to get the DVD.
Totally excellent! I watched "LOST IN SPACE" during my 3rd and 4th grade years. Today Im 60 years old. Such wonderful memories. Thank-you for the hilarious clip. Dr. Smith is such a well played character. I remember wanting to be Will Robinson's best friend. Thanks for the look back. The "little" things in life mean so much. ----Cody.
This is the last time where the robot, will, and DR smith interact in a skit. too bad Irwin Allen did not continue the series in the early 80's when everyone was alive and these shows were becoming very popular on rerun.
And did you know that June Lockhart, Mark Goddard, Marta Kristen and Angela Cartwright were in the 1998 Lost in Space movie?? Billy Mummy and Jonathan Harris were also suppose to be in it but Jonathan Harris said he doesn't do cameo appearances and Billy Mummy, who was supposed to play the adult Will Robinson in the movie, didn't get the part at the last minute, which, in my opinion, was a BIG mistake.The voice of the robot was none other than Dick Tufeld, who did the ORIGINAL voice of the robot on the original lost in space.
Star Trek was for the serious viewer. And in turn took itself to seriously. Kirk was a terrible actor. Lost in Space predated Star Trek by a year. It's first season was seriously written with a compassion to it. Seasons 2 and 3 were basically a Dr Smith tour de force. Camp and didn't take itself at all too seriously. I agree with you . I totally loved LIS over ST as a kid.
It was the camaraderie of the excellent ensemble cast, the musical excellence of a young "Johnny Williams" and others, and the superb acting of Jonathan Harris which made this show a timeless hit. This wonderful clip had me smiling and in tears at the same time. It was as if it was 1967 all over again for me and time had taken me back to my old home...my mother singing in the kitchen, my father and I lazing in front of the old tube tv enjoying LIS. Vale Jonathan Harris et al.
It was genius to cast Jonathan Harris in LiS at the last minute. It would never have been the same without him and his relationship with Billy Mumy and the Robot.
Tell that to June Lockhart ! She resented the direction of the show , and the focus on those three characters , once commenting "I think they did all they could with the boy, the doctor and the robot"
This was Jonathan Harris' last portrayal of Dr. Zachary Smith. Sadly, he passed away just before they were to start a TV reunion movie for Lost In Space. Producer Kevin Burns did an excellant job capturing the essance of the original show here! Bill Mumy, Bob May, and Dick Tufeld's voice were great too. And of course Jonathan was the same as we've always known and loved. Thanks for the post!
So very funny and so true to the original series. 81 year old Jonathan Harris turns in a great performance, but notice how he was holding his right hand most of the time. He would leave this world in 2002 at age 87. Bob May (the guy inside robot B9) passed in 2009 and Dick Tufeld was silenced in 2012. :(
Its pretty amazing to note that Dick not only came back all those years later to guest star in these late 90's segments as the classic robot for these tribute specials (as well as a couple of episodes of The Simpsons as well) but he also did the voice for the Robot in the remake which was made the same year as this clip was (1998). He and the other guest stars from the series who had cameos were the only good things about the awful remake..
I Am near 58 and seeing this brought back awesome memories to watching this as a child. The Good Ole Doctor here hasn't lost his ole acting self. He was the best character star of the show next to Will.
Refresh my memory. I seem to recall Batman was on opposite the first half hour of Lost in Space. With one TV in our house, I can remember those "what show will we watch" fights. Do you remember what was on the other network at the time ?
@@tonyhoward7004 Heh, I don't recall having fights over the single TV but then again my dried up brain cells have a tough time remembering those long gone years. There were times I would try to flip back and forth to also watch Batman and not sure what else was on in the same time slots but there were a lot of fun shows back then, Gilligan's Island, Beverly Hillbillies and more. I sure do miss those shows but then again that is why I have a lot of them on DVD now ;-)
I love this, it's like time never stopped, this is one of my favorite retro old-skool shows from back in the day! Thank you so much for this post, it means a lot to me!
first time ever seeing this video clip, how classic, how great, how wonderful! just something soothing about hearing the voices of Will, Dr. Smith and the Robot. maybe because of my own advancing age this clip really got me, almost brings a tear to my eyes
More please. And I still say it all the time: the pain. Oh the pain! We still watch these with our kids. They walk around saying: danger Will Robinson danger all the time too. Ageless timeless classic. ♥️😍
LOL. I just found this after it was posted nine years ago. RIP Jonathan Harris. It was a real coup that they cast him in this series. The role was so beneath him yet he really made it his own and his character was such a central part of the show. As others pointed out, he was in top form here even though he was 84 years old (and, sadly, died four years later.) I'm pretty sure that's Dick Tufeld doing the robot's voice and not Bob May.
I was a little child when that was emitted here in Yugoslavia, but never missed any episode... I love it. Warning, warning, danger, danger, Will Robinson...
I grew up watching this show as a kid and this brought back memories Johnathan Harris still has it ! LOL His Superlatives still are great.He added to the show with his character Billy Mummy grew up and was good as a child actor. The show was a good after school show waiting for the next weekly episodes A fun Show.
This amazing. Jonathan Harris can still fall into his role brilliantly. Many stars are not able to do that after a few years. I met Jonathan Harris and the rest of the cast except for Guy Williams, of course. I shook Jonathan and Bill Mumy's hand, Jonathan was very nice, and so was Bill. Mikie D
Harris and his relationship with Will and the robot made this show.Having said that,all the cast were amazing,a show i never missed as a kid and still love it to this day.
Loved this show. Me and my son have been watching the series on Hulu Plus and for such a young guy, he is really into it. Next I will get him into Voyage to the bottom of the sea.
They still had it. How good was Jonathan, in his 80's. Brilliant. If you haven't seen Billy in Babylon 5, I highly recommended watching from Season 2 to 5. Fantastic show as well.
Thanks for upload. I grew up in middle-class but 'urban' environment - and while watching old reruns of this show, I used to look in the dictionary to figure out Dr Smith's insults. This show taught me that there's more creative ways to express yourself or even insult somebody than just "mo-fo" this and 'mo-fo' that-served me well in life and business. RIP "Dr. Smith/Mr. Harris" - I owe you one.....
It's very easy to get caught up in this scene. They all played these characters perfectly. I wish the original cast could have completed work on the two hour TV movie. I would have loved seeing the Jupiter 2 return to earth. 🤗
My Lord! It's like they never left the show! Dropped back into character exactly as they did it 3 decades ago!
Bill Mummy was involved with a band and wrote for Marvel and was in at least one other television show after Lost in Space. It is said his comic book collection dates back to at least the 1950s and is out of this world!

Indeed
I loved it. :)
I certainly did.
A melhor de todos os tempos. Remete diretamente à minha infância. Emocionante !!!!!! 👏👏👏
The Smith character killed this once good show.
Harris' acting skills are as sharp as ever! Sounds exactly like the original show!
His insults to the robot are spot on.
MAN DR. SMITH DIDN'T MISS A BEAT AT HIS OLD AGE, HE'S GOT MAD SKILLS.
+Mark T I know right, that's how you do it. :)
EPIC BLASIAN---Chances are he was in his 80s and acted as good as he did in his 50s!
Stepped back into character, like the show never stopped.
It felt like a "lost episode" and Jonathan Harris was just in "old" makeup
EPIC BLASIAN agreed
SHERMAN YOUNG
1998. 30th anniversary
OMG...! It's like Jonathan Harris had never stopped being Dr. Smith...! GREAT acting skills...!
My thoughts exactly.
not acting now DOA
Rr smith is eternal
Harris felt the original Dr Smith was too dark and scarey for children so he reinvented the Smith character to what we know and love. Jonathan Harris IS Dr Smith.

Luckily for you and your project, he left "chewing the scenery" to the stage. 😁

Wokism has killed off the best of TV shows, can't wait to kill off the woke, only then will these type of shows return.
Even at that age, Jonathan Harris is Phenomenal!
Amazing how Harris nailed it after all these years. It's all there in the voice. Billy has grown up so he had to reinvent his character.
Tmanaz480---They kept their acting abilities but the Robot's voice seemed to be a bit more transistorized.
30 years later would put this at the year of 2000??????

Jonathan Harris was amazing. There is no one like him around now, and what a pro. Got his autograph years ago, he brightened my childhood.
Only one close was Robin Williams
Twenty years ago, Incredible. This was a beautiful little skit. :-)

Best robot ever. Miss the old show nice to see them together again rip to cast members that passed on
This was the best show on TV back in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and beyond. I grew up with these characters and I am so glad I did.
It was the best show of ALL TIME, don't you mean?
This is the last time where the robot, will, and DR smith interact in a skit.
too bad Irwin Allen did not continue the series in the early 80's when everyone was alive and these shows were becoming very popular on rerun.
Why did it stop in the 1st place
@@josephcarrington8834 perhaps lack of interest by the networks or the actors.
I think ratings and high cost were the reason for the show cancelation
The one and only Doctor Smith! He played his roll perfectly! Will and the robot were great too! ♥️♥️♥️
I wish Guy Williams had more air time
It's as if they never left their roles, it's so fun to watch. I also loved seeing Jonathan Harris on Bewitched too.

At least Billy Mumy grew his hair back after his stint on Minbar.
Like seeing old friends!
Shocking to think this was 20 years ago. 1998 seems like yesterday.
Had to believe this was filmed 24 years ago now. How time has flown.
I actually preferred “Lost In Space” over “Star Trek”. This scene is done brilliantly!

Kristopher Michaels I loved this show, Get Smart and F Troop.
Robert bishop Mine too
Kristopher Michaels it Was A Wonderful show Watched It At Age 10..
He was an icon of character and his voice inflections were and still are unsurpassed; Bravo Dr. Smith; bravo I say!

Short was made in 1997 for the SYFY network. It was the 30th anniversary of the date the Jupiter 2 was supposedly Lost in Space.
this show had me every week, Robot and Dr. Smith together are classic
I love this. Johnathan Harris was great!
You know, this would have worked as a series. Apart from being 30 years older, they just got right back into it.
To see billy and Jonathan together again with b9 was awsome thank you 😁
This is incredible....its pitch perfect!! Thank you for putting everything together JUST RIGHT.....An old fan of a great show

Always loved it when the robot laughed.
Along with the cast, I always loved Robot, voiced by Dick Tufeld and portrayed by Bob May. May they both rest in peace...
The robot was the real star...

this shows how good of actors they were and was held back by corny situations,they are pros

Greatest TV show ever! Well, right next to the Night Stalker.
Cheers for the Night Stalker!
