Rest in Peace 🙏 🪦 Actor Mark Goddard Lost in Space Pass away age 87 October 10,2023
I miss the old Televisions with snow on the screen ❤
We had a 20" black & white set .
@@Obeijin we got are first color TV in 1967 when I was 12 years old. Before that we were watching black and white TVs we purchased at a local thrift store. It felt like we were rich watching a 25 inch RCA color TV. That RCA Lasted for years we would watch it until 12 midnight until the stations went off the air. My uncle would come home from the military base were he worked as a air traffic controller at 5 in the morning and flip the TV back on. That RCA got a heck of a lot of hours clocked on the CRT. It still worked years later when we replaced it with a another new RCA. Lord what I wouldn't give to go home again and be with my loving hard working parents again. Now everyone is dead and I'm a elderly old man with only my two Chihuahuas to keep me company. 😢
I loved how the stations went off the air for 6 hours
My most beloved TV show from my childhood.
@Russell Collier Those were also great.
Hi Jose; It was one of my favorites too. And I loved the Avengers with Diana Rigg too. I thought she was beautiful. Best Wishes. Sincerely, Tom
They still show Reruns of Lost In Space,Time Tunnel, and Land of the Giants on Me TV.
.... and mine too, and my brothers. I loved Judy ....
I was hooked on lost in space also. Never hardly ever missed it. I actually saw the premier on CBS in 1965. It was vital from that point on.
I loved WFLD Channel 32 in Chicago growing up... I used to watch it all the time. Watching these ads sure brings back memories....
Brings fond memories of after school days, watching Lost In Space, Gilligan's Island, Get Smart, McHale's Navy, Sanford and Son, and last but not least Star Trek, cartoon and Live action. . I watched these all in re-runs, I remember watching as far back as 1970 to around 1985-ish when I graduated high school and entered the Navy.
Strother Martin's character Mr. Nerim scrambles around in Mr. Miner...perfect, since he's mining "Cosmonium". Cosmonium is what Smith trades part of the Astrogator for, loosing it to a planetquake, which breathes life into his statue monument of his 'spirit'. After the statue absorbs all the Cosmonium, it attacks and nearly destroys Jupiter 2, which barely makes escape velocity, almost being sucked back into the gravity well of the planet, before making a last minute escape.
This was season II 1st episode of Lost In Space, with Strother Martin (of the original True Grit fame) was exciting at the time to see the Jupiter 2 lift off into space after an entire season of adventures on Proxima Centauri. I only wish there was more time spent in space, similar to the first 3 or 4 episodes or season 1. Had the show kept up with a more of a serious tone, and had they kept going that way, I think the show would have lasted longer than even Star Trek had. Both had a short 3 year run, and both did very well in syndication. So well in fact, that the networks realized the mistakes made in cancelling both shows prematurely. Cheers!
Totally
@phillanassa759, They were on an uncharted planet (AKA Priplanus), not Proxima Centauri.
Hi. Like. See. Space. Lose. Ok😂😂😂😂❤
Great series brings back happy memories of TV growing up in 60s
Or 80s❤
Wasn't it wonderful?
The beautiful penny of lost in space
I was surprised to discover she was born very close to where i lived in the UK, back in the 60's of course
Even the t.v. static brings back memories.I wanted soo badly to say,"adjust the'rabbit ears'".!
I miss staticy rabbit ears tv so much
Like an antenna on the roof with a rotor pointed the wrong way.
me did out of habit
It does bring back memories, doesn't it Claude.
@@Dbusdriver71..yes,it does:)
All I can say about the reception, Ohh the pain, the pain.
One of my favorite shows when I was a kid.
I watched it every Summer in Boston WLVI 56, I was 13 on May 3 1980
@@davidmorse6696 👍 Good memory your ! 👍🇧🇷
Same here. Little corny at times but as a kid I loved it
I am also a great fan of this imaginative Science Fiction Classic TV Series. I loved nearly everything about it, even the "corny stuff" that would happen from show to show. For some reason, I also developed a little crush on Angela Cartwright. I was 15 in 1968 and she was riding in the open Convertible along the Strawberry Festival Parade route that early Summer. I was standing in the front row, as her car passed by in the parade. She is 15 days older than I am, but it never bothered me that I had a crush on an older woman. And no, though I had the imagination, I lacked the courage to speak with her afterward. One never knows, lol.
I love this music too, it brings back lots of happy memories.
WOW. , What a blast from the past
free tv, no cable bills
There is something about the Classic Lost in Space tv show that just pulls you in.
I have the whole series on blu ray but I found myself watching this and asking myself "what are you doing?".
That's nostalgia Scott. "Ghosting" and interference make the heart grow fonder. I have it on Blu-ray too (and it is phenomenal), but seeing it like this takes me back...
We love Lost in Space in Brazil!!!
The broadcast looks as though a storm was moving through the area. Excellent.
This would have been known as “off air reception” back in the day. Back when televisions picked up the signal by an antenna on a house rooftop. And yes, weather conditions did affect the signal. Now of course we use cable or standard definition or high definition signal. The off air signal doesn’t work anymore, which is a shame, it was great for those small TVs people used for outside viewing in the back yard.
The film looks better now in 2022
I like this old version better, sound and picture sharp
I forgot you need to move the rabbit ears to the right oh just to the left ,perfect don't move!
April 16th 1980 was on a Wednesday, which put me in a classroom in 5th grade so I actually missed this broadcast, it’s crazy to be able to see a moment in time that I would have otherwise missed.
I also existed in April 1980 but I was a fetus in my mother's womb, since I was only going to be born in August of that year. 😝😆
Yes, one of my favourite programmes as a child, Mr Doctor Smith and his Robot and family, I love it!!!
Analog snow and ghosting. It's been a long time. Very refreshing.
Im the same way i miss staticy analog tv so much and it was free
😊@@radionoakmont2143😅
Oh man, that gorgeous UHF fuzziness...either that or the Memory Lane induced tears in my eyes is taking over. It's been decades since I've seen a UHF channel. In New Jersey we got 32 because WKBS 48 (Philly) was affiliated and sometimes it would come in, and I remember well broadcasts of Lost In Space. Thank you for posting this!
I live in Ontario Canada, and we got Lost In Space reruns on WKBD TV50 from Detroit Michigan. I remember using the rotator to direct the antenna to the southwest for the best reception. Those old outdoor TV antennas, the fuzzy UHF image, the way the weather would affect it, the thrill when you got a really good crisp clear picture! Nostalgia.
@@Nathan-jq1uw A man after my own heart, glad to meet you! Yeah, watching those old late night reruns with the slightly snowy reception with the station ID in the lower right hand corner, really brings back the memories, just like those late night horror showcases too.
We live in a bygone day but the memories are still with us. A great thing, isn't it? :-)
@@kainnosgoth7336 Well, I grew up in the 1970s, and with the outdoor TV antenna I could get stations from Michigan that weren't on our Canadian cable system. Stations I didn't know were there. The atmosphere would change and all of a sudden we'd pull in WEYI 25 from Saginaw/ Bay City or channel 12 from Flint. It was like fishing, those fringe channels weren't always available, but when they came in... I don't know, but there seemed something very cool about knowing the metal antenna was grabbing the signal from the air and bringing it down the twin-lead wire to your TV in the basement. Even if the reception was dodgy, it was cool. I remember the spooky movie host Sir Graves Ghastly on Detroit TV, and then there was the Ghoul, though he was a little too funky for me. The Detroit UHF stations were the best for old reruns like Bewitched, Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch, and of course my fave Lost In Space. I remember Bill Kennedy the old movie host on channel 50, and how he'd say "We have a great movie for you today, and it's in color!" That feeling we lose as we get older, and I guess that's what they mean by enjoy living in the present moment because soon enough this present moment will be part of the "good old days!"
did you had such a bad signal?
I was one month old when this broadcast!
I remember this was the episode that the season before the cliffhanger ended in black and white and the next season , this episode Blast Off Into Space was in color.
This was the year before I started kindergarten. I used to watch this show pretty regularly and probably saw this when it aired. One of my favs. That one song in the regular soundtrack where someone learns a lesson about something always got to me and just about made me cry. Love me some LIS!
That piece from Herman Stein is called "The Family". It is one of my favorites too! czcams.com/video/klS3GOQ6nIQ/video.html
They still show reruns of Lost In Space on Me TV.
Saturday night marathon nightstalker buck rogers ect
Is this MeTV before it was MeTV?
@@cwill1098 No, this is a local Chicago channel. It's not connected to ME TV.
This is a perfect of how fond memories are just that! Re-living the era of poor TV reception and the show is much more campy and spud it than I remember as a child. Thanks for sharing
The way we use to watch television when the channels not clear but to take a climb on top of the house to adjustment for clearer station. Wish this could come back, don't get me wrong, digital stations and cable or even satellite stations are good, I myself love the good ole days back then. And Lost in Space was the greatest show television ever had.
I used to Love Lost In Space when I was little. Especially Doctor Smith, He was So Funny. 😄😄😄
I had a couple dozen lost in space black and white baseball cards when I was a kid and the show was first aired. All first season snapshots. they would be worth a fortune today
This brings back memories of my brother and me making our little sister hold the rabbit ears in the same position for an hour.
Brings back memories from my childhood. I used to do Lost in Space pretend episodes with my Barbie Dolls. I was 10, now I’m 63. LOL
l was 8 years old when this show was first put on it's one of my favorites . may doctor smith rip.
Watched every episode growing up.
The O.J. Simpson Boys Club commercial was an eye opener too. Just 14 years later, he'd go from famous to infamous.
Timeless
Ironically, Today is Wednesday and I actually watched this very episode earlier today...it is one of my favorites, and I have seen them all hundreds of times as I watched the show religiously as a kid.
I would actually go off in my head and watch this, in the late afternoon, until I was sleepy and fighting it too.
Lost in space was one of my absolute favorite shows during my grammar school yrs. Sure brings back great memories.
I often wish I had taken a better care ( so I would have it today ) my ' Lost In Space ' metal lunch pail from the late 60's...Not sure what happened to it?.. Those were the best of times for me...So miss it..
In a box set I have I got me a clear copy of this excellent show. Lost In Space. Love it Love it Love it
I'm assuming it's DVD. If you want to get the best out of it, transfer it to VHS and watch it on a vintage black and white TV.
@@geraldscott4302 would love to do that but I have no way of obtaining the gear. Have a great day bruv
@@pauldavidgray8217 eBay? I bought my TV from an old TV repair guy. He had just completely rebuilt it. I paid plenty, but it was worth every penny. Restored black and white CRT TVs are out there, and tube type color TVs can be set to black and white. Windows 10 even makes it possible to set the monitor to black and white, but you won't get those cool '60s analog effects.
@@geraldscott4302 its now on Blu-ray(as of 2019). I also have the VHS tapes(all in B&W until Season two), plus I have the DVD set. (Still have to purchase the Blu-ray box set yet). Great show, with lots of children memories.
@@rubyred93chev The Blu-ray set has been out since 2015.
I keep wanting to adjust the antenna!
Thanks for the memories!.... I still remember all my friends during those days. WAW! Philippines 1963.
Thank you for taking me back to a time where innocence ruled my world ... I collect lost in space toys and can still feel the warmth of my mother's voice calling me for dinner i justice couldn't pull away from the tv ... Judy had me all wrapped up like a Xmas present and funny how i wouldn't even have the slightest inclination what to do with her. Maybe just hold her hand ... As an adult i was working a toy show in new york and i was asked to bodyguard judy all day ... What a kind respectful lady very classy and so full of life ... A childs dream ... Bless Martha Kristen and her family and a Mr Bernie Nolan for his love and respect ...
That's cool . I collect star wars and kiss .
I didn't notice Judy but Penny was hot.
Martha? You were her bodyguard for a day but didn't catch her correct name?
I watched it every Summer in Boston WLVI 56, I was 13 on May 3 1980
Me too ! Channel 56 😊
Same here. We used to get WLVI 56 down here in central Connecticut.
Thank you...thank you...precious...wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I can say is “oh the pain”
Oh, and this was a Wednesday if anyone is interested!
Ok.
Love that UHF channel, was happy when my brother put on a rotor control! Got like 9 channels, Loved watching this with the snow.
Okay. Now I get it. Fuzzy memories. Chicago television. No cable.
theyre not kidding when they call it 'fuzzy' memories.
This is great, I love things taped off of old TV, and love LIS. You can tell how old it is because they have OJ Simpson in a commercial
Walking down memory lane just got a wake-up call!
4:12 A failure to communicate.
"This brings back memories
when local tv stations
still showed classic tv shows
back when you had your standard
cable tv,
i'm from southern Oklahoma
and my memories of these old tv shows
come from the local Oklahoma and Texas
stations we got here,
Now its different no more
stations like this,no more classic tv shows,
I miss these days,I'm 54 now,
You Tube brings back all these memories
from the early days of cable tv,
Thanks for the memories!."-😅.🌐📻🎙🌐.
I'm 61 so I understand how you feel.
Also, I lived in Oklahoma for about 4+1/4 years.
My husband was stationed at Altus, AFB.
Cable TV during that period? It was too advanced to us!! The analog world was a much more mysterious World with common antennas!! Brazil 🇧🇷 lol
ps. Jonathan Harris was an amazing actor and what a cool English and fascinating traditional American pops and Literary expressions to learn with Smith: The American culture with a tip of a modern New Yorker. There was a time when the USA was as big as the entire World!!!
Wednesday night, 7:00 me and all my classmates were glued to the T. V. hoping the Robinsons could fix whatever what wrong and make it another week.lol
This is the one episode where the background music was so totally different from the usual.
A different music composer was brought in with this episode: Leith Stevens. After this episode his music was used along with John Williams compositions.
thank you for the memories
Thanks for the upload! I remember watching Lost In Space on WBFF-TV Channel 45 in the 1970s, during Captain Chesapeake!💕 Love ya, Mondee The Sea Monster!
ahoy Crewmembers
First run here Wednesday nights 730 pm. Est. WCBS CH2 NYC
Awesome grainy screen ! Snow !
I remember watching these shows just as they are here ; taken from Videotapes, antenna TV days .
From what I remember (and apologies if this was put in before), this show was aired in the NYC market during the '70's on WNEW Channel 5 in New York.
And if one looks at the credits, notice . . . Red Skelton's company listed as one of the production companies (and his show's executive producer credited the same here). Skelton had a stake in the show.
I loved Channel 32. UHF Ultra High Frequency. Easier to receive than VHF. Remember the round UHF antenna. Tube TVs I love 60s and 70s TV. I think 60 was best though. Lost in space,Twilite Zone, Wild Wild West...
Channel 32 did a awesome job promoting old TV shows and cartoons
All big cities had an Independent channel like this in syndication. In Detroit it was Channel 50.
This is the beginning of the second season
And COLOR
Back during the days of freedom
Channel 32 from Chicago! We could get this at home, 2 hours fm Chicago, after wrangling the rabbit ears. Also, Sven Ghoulie Screaming Yellow Theater on Saturday Nights.....good memories!
We had Sir Graves Ghastly in Michigan. We lived for those Friday night sleepovers, snacks & spooky old horror movies. 👍
You no what cracks me up they were stranded on that planet for one year and in one episode they put the Jupiter 2 back together lol
Lost in Space used to come on at 9AM every weekday here in Chicago on Channel 32 in the early 1980s. I was only able to watch it when I was too sick for school or during summer vacation.
oh nice n staticy this is what tv I remember and loved the most, as a kid our floor model zenith was perfect huge screen and good sound on our channel 11 it was like this but a bit staticier in the sound which I got a big kick out of, I miss these sweet analog days please post more if you can.
I gave you a thumbs-up for the sarcasm. If I was wrong, and you weren't joking, please disregard it!
I've been watching this on remastered DVD so long I forgot I used to watch this show like this... all gritty
Angela cartwright over reacts to the earthquake in the opening scene ugh! The lift off scene was 1 of the absolute BEST in the series with the planet exploding! Im surprised Irwin Allen spent that kind of money on effects. He was known to be really cheap using scenes over and over for other episodes.
MOTW AND IRWIN ALLEN....GOOGLE IT
Damn! We just missed Green Acres!
I’ve just watched the lost in space episode this morning before leaving my house because it came on around 1:00 AM because I was up during that morning when the show aired , even though I am not a resident of Chicago Illinois back in the day because I do not remember a channel 32WFLD back then but I remember Philadelphia’s WKBS channel 48 when it was done around many years ago.
Love this - Thanks for sharing this!!!
Very enjoyable show.wstched as a kid
Rest in peace actors, Guy williams and Jonathan Harris and also Mark Goddard.
Wow! I totally remember this entire video
Love to see this remastered .
buy the bluray set, it is beautiful.
@@willrobinson4078 is it really beautiful in blu Ray
Funny, I was just watching this episode the other day, and now this comes up.
Yes I remember that "Lost In Space" was on Channel 50 Detroit and Channel 43 Cleveland. This was years ago when we had an antenna. Both channels suffered from poor pictures at times and the antenna had to be turned by rotor. I remember even before the rotor we had to move the antenna with a bar. Still it does take you back.
Yep. I lived in Toledo and it was always great luck when we pulled in the Detroit channels. Then when my parents invested in a TV tower with rotating antenna, we thought we were rich. And then cable tv (A/B) box was invented.
Often the only way I would ever get to watch LOST IN SPACE was on return trips to Chicago, first on Channel 9, and later on 32. Senior demographics in our part of Florida did not support local stations buying the show!
Fascinating. Thank you for that.
Simply amazing and brilliant
This station in Chicago reminds me a lot KBHK-TV 44 San Francisco with programming & PSA’s, especially the TV static. Rabbit ears anyone. Lost in Space rerun from 1980 , brings back some memories .
Yep, they were both Field Communications stations so a lot of similarities. :-)
I always loved hearing that quirky sounding opening theme music, imagine my surprise when I discovered that Lost In Space and Star Wars both had music composed by John Williams. I may be wrong, but even the theme music for E.T. was written by Mr Williams.
OOOOOH THX U SO MUCH...I LOVE LOST N SPACE. SURE WISH THEY COULD REMAKE IT'S
M&M Nope somethings are better left alone 2-30-2021
They remade it twice already.
The 1998 Lost In Space movie and the new Netflix series that got cancelled after 3 seasons.
Plus there was a pilot for a Lost In Space cartoon made in the 70s and a few comic book series.
@@andrewweisneck1102 There was a unsold pilot called the " The Robinsons " that can be seen on CZcams in five parts.
I love this show when I was a kid. Looks like somebody forgot to adjust the rabbit ears!
Strother Martin. One of the most versatile and under appreciated actors ever. "What we've got here is.... failure to communicate". "Now I don't like this any more than you men. This is what he wants. Well, he gets it". And of course the movie SSSS and many others.
Written by Peter Packer! 👀🙃
I banged the side of my iPad and the reception cleared up😂
なつかしかですな。
thanx uploading and another one ?
Ah, those old UHF independent stations. They had character.
“We need money to make a ship for the villain to land in.”
“Screw that! Just make him walk out of a crater!”
"What we have here is a failure to communicate" Strother Martin was a great actor. All the character actors from the movies made the rounds of TV in the 60's. This show was shot at 20th Century Fox (that name didn't age well). I love how his character sees right through Smith. As the show went on, Smith the sly saboteur and medical Dr turned into a bumbling idiot.
Nope! The quote is "what we have here is failure to communicate." There is no a in there. Often misquoted.
I will came home from school to watch the show
Underdog, I'd forgotten that toon, a kid in the early 1960's he was a favorite.
Thanks!
My dad laughed every time he heard Never fear Smith is here because Smith was his mother's maiden name lol.
Show TV from my childhood!
It was amazing how people would show right near where the Robinsons were -what are the odds
The Simpson commercial! Chilling to watch.
Originally aired on CBS but recorded as a rerun years later - WFLD UHF 32.
UHF stations did not have the huge budgets of the big networks and so they showed reruns. Also often a less powerful signal, easier to get snow or interference.
Several years ago on the Chicago super station (which I don't think is on my cable system any more) I was watching an episode of Hawaii 5-0. In the middle of a chase scene it cut to commercials and when it finally returned their local news began, eliminating the ending of the episode of Hawaii 5-0.
