That "Johnny Williams" score....it's amazing how much incredible music that man gave us.
He wrote and conducted a lot of theme song's for TV shows and also for movies like Star Wars etc. He's incredible.
I agree. John Williams 's music for "LIS" was often much better than the show itself.
If only we had this awesome theme all along! Great job David.
This theme song from season number two. Both lost in space theme songs were some of the best ever written. Composed by John Williams, of Star Wars and Superman fame.
And Jaws, Indiana Jones, Close encounters of the Third kind, and more I can't recall right now...
They had a good reason to put him back in the stasis tube after each episode
Dr Smith wasn't a clown at the beginning.
Yep! Smith was DANGEROUS!
He also outranked everyone on the mission, he was a colonel.
West, the ships pilot and navigator was a full two ranks below him in the rank of major…
For Guy Williams, the star of the show to be put on back burner as Smiths character rose to the front must of been a blow to him . The show went from being serious to Dr. Smiths clown show . I guess as long as you got paid the same .
It's kind of odd---unsettling---to see "saboteur" Smith in the cold-opening, then "cowardly" Smith in the opening credits.
An interesting mix of the beginning and then followed by Season 3.
excellent! thanks for making & posting this :)
Dr smith always sabatoges the jupiter 2.
I Liked This Theme the Best.
Doctor Smith at first was a spy and evildoer then he became a buffoon. The cry baby. Would have be more interesting if he was a resourceful agent or some sort of international man of mystery.
It would have been interesting for a while. As evil as he was early on, he would have to be killed off. It’s a wonder they didn’t anyway! So Jonathan Harris changed him into a comedic villain that people “loved to hate”, instead of purely hated. He really made the show, (and the Robot, too), both of which were not in the original pilot, “Nowhere to Hide”. If you saw that, it had the spectacular Jupiter 2 set, the great model work of the ship crashing, the fantastic chariot, the cyclops, etc....but it still was somewhat boring as the Robinsons by themselves were not that exciting. Dr Smith gave them an antagonist to balance out their goodness. The humor added was good also, to a point. I regret that it totally went into ridiculous mode in later seasons and focused TOO MUCH on the buffoonish Smith.
@@Geezer-yf8hv Smith, or rather Jonathan Harris struck the right balance in S1E6, when he was resourceful enough to perform a delicate operation on the robot, but still devious enough to convince the children not to go with Hapgood, while negotiating his ride back to earth.
@@johnscoone9310 Right!! He was supposed to be a psychologist, and he was manipulating EVERYONE, (he also did this well in “The Sky is Falling”). As you also stated, he did have technical skills with the Robot, both mechanically and reprogramming). He was able to “tamper” with the Jupiter too, forcing it to crash instead of having a normal landing. He became an incompetent boob overnight, apparently! Now Harris was very wise and correct that he needed to change the character to remain sustainable on the show. What he brought to the show made it so memorable to many, and brought in a comedy aspect that just wouldn’t exist without Smith, (for example “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”, which had ZERO humor).
The problem was with the writers when they went way overboard by making him the main focus of every show and going way over the top! Harris may have rewrote much of his own dialog, but he was NOT the one writing the stories and plots!
Smith would have disappeared at some point if it were me
In Brazil Dr. Smith spokes:
AIORIS QUATORZE HUMBRA
Can’t get enough of this
Never understood why he wasn't spaced
I wonder who he was talking too and working for. Any clues anyone !.
@@josemoreno3334 don't think ever said, wearing USAF uniforms so soviet union, china, eu ? Other?
don tried but he was always outvoted by John and maureen
Dr Smith always annoyed me a kid!
Dr. Smith was evil in the first few episodes but he realized that that character would not have much longevity in the series so he morphed it into the silly character he became and quite literally save the show. If not for he and Will Robinson plus the robot the show may not have continued for the three seasons. I read an article from one of the writers for the series talking about the great vegetable rebellion episode and trying to figure out how the hell they were going to come up with more stories for season four because they just had nothing left.
I have to disagree. Dr. Smith ruined the entire series. He should have been killed off during the first couple of episodes, or never been there at all. Watch the actual first pilot of the show, which does not include Dr. Smith or the robot. It is SO much better. I don't see any harm in including the robot, but Dr. Smith just totally ruined everything. I can only think about what this series could have been. The rest of the cast was great.

"Oh, the Pain......."
Loved Zack!!!
@@geraldscott4302 yep, that an Allen's penchant for fantasising his shows. Voyage also suffered this fate with increasingly bizarre eps towards the end.
As Marta Kristen said, "LIS was a sci-fi show in Season 1. S2 and S3 saw it become science fantasy. Probably the best adult-ish episode from the later shows was the anti-matter episode.
So Dr. Smith was a bird colonel, can't trust a zero. 😄😅😂🤣 I would trust Penny though. 🥰
Marta was the hottie in bher day
3rd season Penny was a total space hottie too.
@@brinsonharris9816 danger will robinson....he explored her space too
David. Really good job on some of these videos. Could you say a few words about how you’ve created some of the ‘splash screens’ / ‘title cards’ for your videos? This one for example is an awesome shot of the family approaching the Jupiter II from an angle never seen in the show (or so I believe). I’m also impressed with your Alpha Control shots on your launch videos. Please keep up the awesome work!
The title card I created in Gimp. The traditional view is reversed and the door scrubbed out. An overlay planetary scene is then placed in front of the Jupiter 2. I then paint out parts of the overlay to reveal the Jupiter 2 behind. You can make the overlay's opacity up high so it's easy to see the Jupiter behind it and you can trace the ships parts. You then can do touch ups to blend both parts together.
The characters are single cutouts placed in and I paint a shadow in for each character. You can also add rocks and stuff if you want.
These composites sometimes work like this one and others just don't work out. Sometimes it's luck they all blend together seamlessly.
Thanks for sharing how you created that awesome art work. In these days of Covid I’m always looking for interesting backgrounds for my lectures (I’m a college prof and my students know I love old sci-fi) any chance you might post the artwork somewhere one could download them for Zoom backgrounds? Regardless, please keep up the good work. I’ve subscribed to your channel so I won’t miss any of your future creations.
@@mike1138gmail They are all in the facebook page The Jupiter 2 Appreciation group(Gemini 12). it's a private facebook page and you just apply to join. I may also make a video of the stills and put them up here. I have one which i will put up which shows how I made one.
@@The_Jupiter2_Mission might want to add some shots of the CHARIOT RIDING AROUND AND ITS USE IN THE SERIES. BTW A ELEVATOR GUY MADE AN EXACT REPLICA OF IT...ON CZcams AND TWIITER PAGE
@@The_Jupiter2_Mission oh man I lived for this series at 7.30 pm on Wednesday nites....snuck over by uncle's on bike to watch in. Color during summers...
I am thinking the motor for the light chaser gear box was turned off, as the #47 lights on the wall mounted B-205 computer in the lab are not flashing, but steady lit.
Can I post this one in Facebook(Lost in space pages) and I will credit you with the link of your page here in youtube?This is awesome indeed!!!!!If you say no...no problem at all and thanks a lot for doing this marvelous work!!!!!!
Sure. I can send you the pic if you email my youtube/google email account or just do a screen capture.
@@The_Jupiter2_Mission I will post the video and I will post your CZcams account in Facebook soon!When I do I will come back here with the link so you can see it! Do you have a Facebook page available? Thank you!!!!!!
@@fredvegerano9607 All my pics are on the Jupiter 2 Appreciation Group on Facebook. You can join that if you like.
@@The_Jupiter2_Mission I am part of the group too and I have found many of your wonderful photos there !! You're really awesome David!!!!!!
I wish we could of found out who he was talons to.
Aoelus 14 Umbra was either a foreign government power, possibly Chinese or it was aliens who were intent on keeping the humans from spreading out into the galaxy as shown in the comic series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Soul", co-written by Bill Mumy. In that story the engine that powered the Jupiter 2 was reverse engineered from a crashed alien craft. Also, Dr Smith's belief that the ship they encountered right after leaving the earth was an Aoelus 14 Umbra ship helps bolster that idea.
@@kennethlee494 Thanks Keith makes sense maybe the world's Aoelus 14 Umbra means something or I should say translates into something we can male sense of.
Aeolus is the Greek God of Winds Umbra is Latin for Shadow. My best guess is that wind means speaking and shadow is a Spy. The 14 could be his ID number. Maybe there are other spies like aelius 13 Umbra!!!
In my reimaging of the series, AEIOULIS 14-Umbra was the Keeper. Smith was his unwitting or perhaps unwilling agent. The intention was never to destroy the J2, only to send it on a different course to Priplanis, which the Keeper wanted so he could recruit human subjects from earth. He put them through a series of trials and tribulations and thought they would welcome his assistance, but the Keeper underestimated the resolve of the Robinsons. There is a lot more to this but that's the basics of it. When you have the Keeper as the reason they were lost, the entire series begins to make perfect sense. Well at least the first season or so.
The only episode dr smith was a tough guy he killed a man and after by the 5 episode he turned into a wussy
The episode when he had the ability to turn everything into platinum...at the end of the episode?a rarely seen unshaven Smith was a cold blooded killer
He was brave then.
Episode 1 season 1 with season 2 opener in black and white?
Actually season 3 opener.....which was fantastic!
What would have worked even better would be clips from season 1 inserted in the cutouts ..
Think if LIS went to 4th season eatings better than moon landing and eps better written in lieu on .....THE GREAT VEGETABL E REBELLION
