One of my favorite shows as a kid in the 60s.
Same.
Much more entertaining than the Apollo moon stuff
@@davepowell7168 Yup - and better effects too.
@@davepowell7168 Does anyone remember waiting FOREVER for Armstrong to come down that ladder of the Lunar Module? Maybe it wasn't that long but it was to ME, a 9 yr old, and it was on every network, a camera was trained on the exit port and leg ladder, and there I lay on my stomach...waiting... and waiting...and WAITING. While commenters just yakked to fill the time Neil should have been hopping around. BTW: If no one had ever walked on the moon, how did that camera get placed so neatly over to one side on the surface (?) to catch and film all the history in the making? Things that made me go HMMM.. Anyway remember how in like five years moon shots, landings and playing around up there got ho-hum it happened so 'often'? Boy we got bored quickly and easily back then with herculean feats.
@ntvypr l totally agree. Having watched Thunderbird 2 repeatedly load up and transport pods holding specialist machinery for catastrophic events accross the planet in less time seeing the LEM (which if examined in detail appears like a homeless persons swamp shelter) finally let out a guy seemed a bit dull. Call me old fashioned but l expect if man had been to the moon we would all be able to see a flashing neon Coca-Cola sign or something financial purposeful ; )
I remember Judy (Marta) well. When we finally got a color TV, I was 7 years old, and when she was on the screen my 7 year old self couldn't take his eyes off of her.
Rare beauty
Lost in space had very pretty women.an& great theme song
June Lockheart was a gem!
*_Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!_*
Oh baby I like it raw
❤️
Angela Cartwright was one of my (gulp) TV crushes (Danny Thomas Show). Lassie was my dream dog! Great TV days!
One of my favorite shows as a kid! 💜✌
Same.
Same here. I once called Guy William's home hoping to get him to hook me up with Angela Cartwright. I was all of 10 years old and used a pay phone in the basement of the school. Somehow, I convinced the operator to place the long distance call from Pa. to Calif. I didn't know anything about the time difference, though, so it was about 3 or 4 a.m. there. A butler or somebody answered, but he said "It's 3 a.m. Mr. Williams can't be disturbed." And that was that. I think I had to feed something like five or six bucks (in change) into the phone. So much for my love life back then, eh?
⁷ the
Hallelujah!
Mine too only to the 3rd eposode, Dr. Smith character ruined what could of been a good sifi show and made a comedy out of it.
I absolutely adored Guy Williams as Zorro. Lol. Yeah, I'm that old. It was one of my favorite shows. ✌️❤️🙂
Could there have been two more contrasting roles one actor is known for, like Guy Williams as both Zorro and Professor Robinson?
Loved Zorro. Guy was so dashing in that role.
Nice Thumbnail Judy was One-Gorgeous-Looking Blue-Eye Blonde back in the Day 😚😁💕
In the immortal words of Dr. Smith........"Silence!! you Incompetent, Cackling Cacophony!!"
RIP Jonathan Harris
He had a ton of Robot insults. "Lead-lined lump". "Hopeless heap of tainted tin". "Bubble -headed booby". And several others.
What great actor
I agree funny
He also played the voice of Lucifer in the original Battlestar Galactica series.
really i did no that@@gnolllman
Marta is beautiful..I'm very surprised she never appeared in any big name movies. Her looks were sultry ✌️
Stunning!!!
I agree 1,000,000x over. I was in love with her when i was 7 and as far as i am concerned - I only liked Lost in space for 2 reasons only 1) her by herself she is fabulous 2) only the first 8 or 10 episodes and except for some really interesting episodes on the 3rd season thats all the reason I even bother to watch LIS, for me the best sci-fi show is still star trek TOS. Now people say Irwin Allen's show go downhill and become nothing but kiddie shows, I tend to digress, look at voyage to the bottom of the sea, the time tunnel and land of the giants, many episodes where very mature and did interesting episodes. The only reason this one show went into a ridiculous state is due to Jonathan Harris who over hammed and made a mockery of what could have been a much better show.
@@enriquemino9963 I hear you about Marta Kristen. She was my very first crush when I was around that age - although, that young, I wouldn't know what to do if I approached her then. I certainly had no concept of sex at that age. Maybe hold her hand or something along those lines. It's criminal how shockingly underused she was during the series' run!
Lebensborn chic
Doing Porno ruined her career. Yes...she did porno.
I still have the Remco Lost in Space robot that I got for Christmas back in the 60s.
Wow. I remember receiving one of those as a gift from my aunt. It didn’t take me long to destroy it.
GREAT memorabilia if I had had the good sense to keep it.
I always wanted one when I was a kid. Maybe I can find one on ebay.
Guy Williams was deeply resentful that in the final seasons of Lost in Space, his role had been reduced to little more than a walk-on, or a set-up for Bill Mumy, and Jonathan Harris. He felt pretty humiliated, and after the series folded he left the USA for Argentina where his star still shone brightly because he had been El Zorro. In Hollywood, his career was pretty much over, Ended by the Lost In Space series.
I remember my dad telling me that Guy Williams was so disgusted at how the series turned. It didn’t begin as a comedy farce.
@@scottnichols3685 In an interview available here on CZcams, Jonathan Harris describes how he inadvertently made matters with Williams far worse.
Harris had felt very guilty over how he had essentially taken over the show, and one day he spoke to Williams about it, and apologized to him for how things had turned out.
Williams stiffened, mumbled a response and walked away.
Williams was frosty to him for the remainder of their professional association.
Harris realized too late that his well meaning words had, in Williams' view, stripped him of his last shred of dignity.
The last thing he wanted or needed was to be pitied by his "Replacement".
Harris to the end of his life regretted that mis-step, and how badly he had hurt Williams.
It seems petty how Williams was reacting, but you have to remember how HUGE he was when playing Zorro for Disney. He was a definite A-Lister who saw himself being dropped well below B-List.
That would be hard for anyone to take.
Tina Louise had the same issues with "Gilligan's Island" She was a rising star with Academy recognition on the horizon, but she was basically tricked into being an "Also" on a TV show that sunk her serious aspirations.
SHE spent decades resenting the show because it had derailed her career.
I heard he was murdered in Argentina?
@@Voodoomaria It's Hollywood, people come and go easily. Maybe things were different back then. He was too sensitive IMO. Besides Harris didn't do the writing.
@@jakerazmataz852 True but they DID respond to fan input.
Harris' Doctor Smith was one of four well known #2's that ended up more popular than the leads in the late '60's.
The others were;
Nimoy's Mr. Spock (resulting in the trope name "The Spock Effect")
David McCallum's Ilya Kuryakin
And
Bruce Lee's Kato.
Williams WAS considered a TV A-lister, but at the end of three years, he had become an "Also Ran".
Van Williams, William Shatner, and Robert Vaughn didn't fall nearly as far as Guy Williams, and two of the three went on to greater careers.
The Spock Effect isn't an automatic kiss of death for a star, Just look how well Ron Howard did after Happy Days, even though for most of it's run it became The Fonzie Show.
I met Mark Goddard around 1997 at a SciFi convention. Great guy. Told me a few stories about Jonathan Harris.
And . . . ? Any details about a Mr Harris?
Judy was my first crush.
I met Jon Provost (Timmy in Lassie) 2017. He told me he's in touch with June Lockhart and that she's a wonderful person.
Angela Cartwright married has been married to her one and only for 48 years.Jonathan Harris was supposed to be let in the sixth week of the show but later became one of the central characters. He was married only once for 68 years.
Marta Kristen was married for 38 years. Billie Mummy was married for 38 years.
I was born in 1979....as a child growing up, my father would always watch the re-runs of TV shows that he watched when he was growing up... honestly, I use to HATE watching almost EVERY one of those sci-fi shows except: "Lost in Space"!! That was amazing!!
What about Star Trek, the original from the 60's?
@@KB-ke3fi the best. I never even liked the newer version star trek. And I never seen star wars
Remember coming home from junior school and making sure I did not miss this programme. Who can forget Doctor Smith and the robot warning " Danger, danger". Great days for kids tv. All Irwin Allen's tv series legendary!
As a kid in the '60s I received a Lost in Space kit for Christmas. It had a Styrofoam Jupiter 2 that could be opened up, cardboard cutouts of monsters, the robot, the Robinsons, etc. The best part was a battery-operated Chariot that would follow a plastic tube with a pneumatic switch to make it go different directions. It was based on the first season of LIS, when the peril was more real, the situations dire, and Dr. Smith more sinister. Watching the pilots now (there were two - one without Dr. Smith where they go off course from a meteor shower and one where Dr. Smith sabotages the robot and then gets stuck onboard when the robot smashes up the flight computer), it was actually a series with a lot of promise. I cannot watch the later seasons now.
That was the Lost in Space Switch and Go set by Mattel God I would love to have one of those but a nice one cost about the same as a cheap used car!
When I was a kid in the 60's my Aunt Lil was a bonified June Lockhart doppelganger! For Halloween she made a spacesuit costume made of silver lame material and would go to her nieces and nephews homes as Maureen Robinson with her "Lost in Space" ray gun and called us "bubble headed boobies" LOL. I will never forget it how funny she was. I remember on one occasion at the local Loblaws supermarket several kids asking for "Ms. Lockhart's" autograph. She was also a hair stylist and during the 70's CB radio craze her handle was "Lady Clairol". She would let us play in the dryer chairs in her home beauty shop and say "Scotty get 'em out of here!" and turned them on to transport us away.
Sadly she passed away this past summer from Covid at the age of 90. God bless you Aunt Lil for being every kid's favorite aunt and RIP until you make me laugh again one day.
As a child I loved this show
As an adult I love this show!
I grew up watching and loving every episode of this series and bought it for my own kids to watch when they too were little and also have fond memories of watching it. Great old school entertainment.
Born in 1960, I can recall my two favorite TV shows before age ten were LIS and Batman! I remember seeing Star Trek in first run too a few times, but it was just over my 6-9 year old head at the time. LIS had a cool spaceship and an even cooler ROBOT! I always meant to build one of those things, but put it off as a project for after retirement. Lots of those stacking up. Great video, I had no idea June Lockhart was still alive or that she had voiced parts on the Netflix LIS reboot. Most people's voices don't age that well.
Lost in Space and Batman were opposite each other in the same time frame. How could you watch both?
I'm one year older than you, and those were my two favorite shows as well. The campiness of Batman went way over my head at the time, though.
June Lockhart also made an appearance in Season 1: Episode 21 of Babylon 5 -- "A Quality of Mercy".
hands-down, my favorite person on lost in space was Angela Cartwright
And Marta Kristen also.
@@ferdinandfrancis9673 She was my very first crush!❤
Ya she was a sweetie
@@sarniatownreggae mine too, and she still looks a fine lady
@@admiralcraddock464 yes, indeed she does!💕💕💕
HOLY COW!!!! So I remember Roly Poly Fish Heads even tho I was only 3 when it came out!! My mom's 4 teenage siblings would sing it around the house til my Grandpa would tell them to shut the heck up!! WOW!!! It really feels like many lifetimes ago!!! Thank you for that nostalgic 70s moment!!! I really needed that!!! 💖
I wish I knew about this when I met Billy at a convention in Atlanta. I told him both my brothers are red-headed like him. He was still very nice.
What Marta Kristen may have lacked in talent,she made up for with her sheer beauty. Absolutely the hottest girl of her time on any tv series or in hollyweed .🥰
What has always amazed me is that Jonathan Harris grew up with a very thick Bronx accent.
To this day, I can't picture how it would ever sound coming from his mouth.
He hated his accent and when he went into acting, he taught himself the very articulate and distinctive way he spoke English throughout his long career of acting for film, television and voice-overs.
His enunciation and articulation is near perfect, and is often used as a model for those attempting to overcome speech difficulties.
That's amazing. I had thought he was originally English because of the way he spoke and his mannerisms.
Oh the pain, the pain..
Kinda makes me think of how blown away I was when I first heard an audio recording of JFK. I'd read about the man for years before I finally saw him speak in a short clip. That high staccato Boston accent just wrecked everything I had assumed of what he would sound like. I did not know that about Jonathan Harris. Thanks!
@Papito Antonio, to get to your houses, just take the fork in the road.
@Papito Antonio, no, not the point, the fork!
For all of the tines of your life.
Also worth mentioning was June Lockhart's hilarious appearance on Roseanne as Leon Carp's indignant mother!
This video was incredibly well-researched, narrated, and edited. Network quality. BIG thumbs up!
Dang this video takes me way, way back to my little childhood days, thank you Grunge.
Johnathan Harris and the Robot were the Real Stars of Lost In Space.
Yes! I liked the planet of vegetables 😂
I agree.
I wish Guy Williams would have continued acting after LIS! He would have been great in one of those early ‘70s cop and detective shows!! I can even imagine him as Steve McGarrett in Hawaii 50!
I think the only two-part episode was "The Keeper" with Michel Rennie ( Klaatu in The Day The Earth Stood Still). He and Jonathan Harris were friends. Jonathan wanted him to guest star, but knew Michael wouldn't come to LA for a one hour episode. He got the powers that be to make a two parter.
Offspring of Giant Cyclops look same when smaller as when a giant also appeared on Keeper episodes. Creatures peacefully exited ship instead of eating each other on way out.
Still remember that episode. Scared the heck out of me as a 6 year old! Obviously I’m really partial to The Day The Earth Stood Still. 😀
6:40 June Lockhart and to much greater extent Guy Williams deeply resented the show's sudden shift from sci-fi adventure to space schtick. Adding Harris to the cast presented Irwin Allen with a problem, as he told Williams and Lockhart they were the leading stars. Harris said he'd accept billing as "Special Guest Star", which he retained for the entire run. Though he didn't appear on screen, there isn't much question of whatever happened to the show's composer, then known as Johnny Williams. The big band in orbit opening and closing themes are among his compositions for the show.
It wasn't space schtick - it was SPACE SCHLOCK! All the "outer space genre" programs were a ruse bordering on just plain ridiculous.
@@faerieSAALE Guess I was thinking more of the changed focus to Smith, Will and The Robot introducing schtick to grab young eyes away from Batman. Harris' outsized presence is the definition of schtick, which refers to those presenting themselves in a unique, attention getting manner. While the show certainly had wildly diverging production values, it wasn't all schlock. The original pilot was the most expensive produced at the time, as was the Jupiter 2 set.
@@faerieSAALE Yes - I found Star Trek took itself way too seriously whereas Lost in Space started from the premise that it was ridiculous and worked from there.
@@faerieSAALE Not ALL babe, Star Trek had morality plays and lessons embedded in it. Other Sci-Fi also tried to elevate human awareness. Don't judge it all by the sad silliness that one show devolved into.
@@dk50b Dr. Smith was creepily sinister in the pilot, then just shrunk down to a cartoon character. Harris liked to think he 'saved' the show but in truth he brought it down pretty low. In fact it would have fit in better amongst the Saturday morning cartoon shows by the last couple of seasons.
Judy in her shiny silver space suit always got me going. Lost in Space came on air about the time I entered puberty. Thank you Judy! Lol
SOOO beautiful!!!
She was of Danish/Nordic descent. She was brought here to be adopted as a baby from Norway I think. I agree, she knew how to make silver look extra attractive. Then the racy red stripes! OH!
Born in 1958 . Also had a big crush on Judy .😘
@@ntvypr4820 She was Finnish/German.
"Marta Kristen was born Birgit Annalisa Rusanen, on February26, 1945, in Oslo, Norway, to a Finnish Mother and a German Soldier who was killed towards the end of World War II in Europe. Marta was only two months old when she left in an orphanage in 1949. Dr. and Mrs. Harold Soderquist of Detroit, Michigan adopted her, and brought her to America; she was renamed Martha Soderquist. In 1959, the family moved to L.A. and she attended Santa Monica High School for a year: she later graduated from Hollywood Professional School. Producer/Director JAMES B. HARRIS discovered the pretty, petite aspiring actress; he arranged for her to get an agent, and she was quickly booked for TV programs, such as ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS and THE LORETTA YOUNG SHOW (aka "The New Loretta Young Show"). in 1963, Marta met a graduate student and, 6 months later, they got married. Her carrer took off and she made a splash as the mermaid "Lorelei" in BEACH BLANKET BINGO (1965). She would be best-known and remembered, however, for her signature role of "Judy Robinson" in LOST IN SPACE (1965). ..." ------- SOURCE: " IMDb" WEBSITE --- Marta Kristen - Biography ------- For awhile MARTA KRISTEN lived in a house across the road to my old childhood neighborhood in FARMINGTON, MI (until 1959, when her and her adopted family moved to Hollywood, CA) and she played with girls in my old subdivision, including my best childhood friend's older sister and a girl that lived across from my old house. In 1959, MARTA was about 14 years old and I was about 5 years old, so I only have vague memories of seeing her. The girls that MARTA played with in my old subdivision were obviously older than I was and my best friend's older sister remembers playing with her!!! She must've attended my old ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (ALAMEDA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in FARMINGTON, MI in the NEXT STREET north of my old subdivision --- ALAMEDA RD.). When MARTA left for HOLLYWOOD in 1959, this was a year before I started KINDERGARTEN in 1960, so MARTA probably was in Junior High School (since she is 8 years older than me), when she left to California and attended Santa Monica High School for a year. I also made a POST on this information on this CZcams comment stream. In my old subdivision, my old babysitter and oldest sister of one of my playmates ------- CAROLYN FORCHE became a famous American poet, editor, professor, translator, and human rights advocate. She has received many awards for her literary work and was one time invited to the KENNEDY compound in MASSACHUSETTS!!! Carolyn is about only 3 years older than me and I knew her very well, as I seen her a lot in my early childhood. We were both probably born in MT. CARMEL HOSPITAL (now Detroit Medical Center --- DMC) in DETROIT, MICHIGAN. (GOOGLE Search: " Carolyn Forche poet" to see photos of her.) She was an attractive woman with a kind face. MARTA KRISTEN and CAROLYN FORCHE both aged pretty well. They are both a part of my young childhood memories in FARMINGTON, MI.
As a child of the 60s i loved this show, thanks for this informative information.
Remember watching this as a kid. Was to young to realize how hot Marta Kristen was back then. Good times.
I was in love with Judy Robinson.
I used to love this show I wanna cry now
I met June Lockhardt and her daughter, Anne, who was in Battalstar Galactica. I think it was 1982...they were in Texas to do publicity for the YO Ranch opening, for some reason, along with a ton of old western stars like Doug McClure, Howard Keel, etc...I thought June was very sweet and friendly, even though people who were over excited and blabbing about her career to her, or saying weird things about how she looked on and off camera, which was excruciatingly embarrassing, but she must have been used to it, since she was just at ease, no matter what. I actually took her attitude as a great example of how to meet anyone and stay calm and friendly no matter what. She was a real professional, I wish we had more time, she must have had great stories to tell!
Most people are clods and just have no internal filter or check and don't know when they should shut up. Meeting or being near a celebrity almost always makes that spin out of control. Sounds like you observed and made valuable observations from what transpired before you.
You were lucky to have met her
@@ntvypr4820
I once met Shawn Michaels (the professional wrestler) at the bar in a hotel. He bought a beer for me and I remained calm, didn't bring up the subject of wrestling. We just talked about guy stuff like football, the weather and baseball!
4:22 Billy Mumy was *NOT* a "Teen" when he debuted in Lost In Space. He was 9 years old in the two pilot episodes(first version without the Robot or Dr. Smith, 2nd version with those two additions). He did not reach his teens during the run of the show as he was only 12 when the show ended.
I always felt that J Michael Straczynski, of Babylon 5 fame, missed a great opportunity when both Billy Mumy and Jean Lockhart were working on the show for a season. Just a passing glance of familiarity between their two characters would have been a fantastic and fun nod to SciFi fans everywhere.
What's amazing is that all but one are still alive and how accomplished they are well after the show ended.
Bill Mumy. I remember his role on twilight zone as Anthony. He was such a believable little actor that when his face appeared, i scared to look at it for fear of going to the cornfields 😂
This was one of my very favorites as a kid. I was so obsessed that my parents had to schedule events around that time. Once the told us we had plans and i would miss it. I broke out into tears and went and his under an armchair, where i cried myself to sleep so i didnt hear them calling my name. I remember waking up to a panic in my house. They had already called neighbors and family who then showed up at the house. Boy was i in trouble and got grounded for a month
Just be honest. You only clicked on this to find out what happened to Judy.
True.
Shouldn’t you be doing your homework?
True.And Jennie.
She got old so fancying her in shoe show now leads to disappointment
Ain't that the truth!!!!
I loved ♥ watching Lost In Space and I liked the cast.
At 0:24, when Guy Williams is fencing with an alien, I believe that is Michael Ansara!
it was him i think he was the father of the boy, Kurt Russell of that episode.
MARTA KRISTEN was adopted by parents who lived across the street from my childhood subdivision in FARMINGTON,MI (a suburb of DETROIT, MI). This is before she left for Hollywood and became a famous space actress. She used to play with girls in my childhood neighborhood subdivision, including my best childhood friend's older sister and a girl that lived across the street from me!!! I was around 8 years old, back then, and my memories are vague about seeing her back then, but I know I must have seen her, back then. PAM DAWBER (from the TV SERIES: "MORK AND MINDY") attended NORTH FARMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL, so FARMINGTON, MI produced 2 famous space actresses!!! A cashier at a local KMART store said that I resembled the elder version of ROBIN WILLIAMS ("MORK") in my face. As a teenager, many people though that I resembled JOHN LENNON (of THE BEATLES fame). One person thought that I resembled "DATA" (BRENT SPINER) of STAR TREK FAME. At a SiFi CONFERENCE in NOVI,MI, I saw MARK GODDARD there, in person. If that's not all, my CHILDHOOD BABYSITTER (CAROLYN FORCHE) (from the same CHILDHOOD SUBDIVISION, that MARTA KRISTEN played in) became a FAMOUS AMERICAN POET, EDITOR, PROFESSOR, TRANSLATOR and HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCATE, who has received many awards for her literary work. Carolyn was also invited to the KENNEDY compound in MASSACHUSETTS!!! GOOGLE Search: "Carolyn Forche" for information on my old childhood babysitter!!! She still looks the same, as I remember her. Yes, that's her!!! Anyway, MARTA KRISTEN is a beautiful woman and a nice person. She grew up in my old childhood neighborhood, which was very wholesome back then, and I'm still friends with most of my old neighbors from back then (the ones that are still living, anyway). My childhood best friend's mom (who also seen MARTA KRISTEN back then, since she is the mother of her daughter that played with MARTA KRISTEN) just celebrated her 100TH BIRTHDAY!!! My old childhood subdivision (in FARMINGTON,MI) was ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY, where everyone knew each other and were the best of neighbors and friends. Yes, the GOOD OLD DAYS, were very good for me and many people back then (50s - 70's). I wish these "GOOD OLD DAYS" return soon!!! I can only hope that they do!!!
Excellent video! I'd like to add one of my favorite uncredited Jonathan Harris voice overs - LUCIFER on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. It was a perfect role working with BALTAR who was an obvious homage to Doctor Smith.
Guy Williams was so under utilized in the series, and it was basically the Will and Dr. Smith were the central characters. June Lockhart is amazing. All of the cast were perfectly done. I had fun with the show but more of a Star Trek kid, and later Star Wars, but still had fun with Lost in Space. Besides John Williiams music is cool too.
Brilliant! Thanks for putting this together and sharing.
I don't want you to see me cry. I remember that ep as a 7-8 y/o. Made me cry
Had a crush on Angela and her equally talented sister Veronica who was in The Birds and the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
She played Jemima Boone on the "Daniel Boone" show also.
I had the honor of meeting Ms. Marta Kristen at the IPMS National Championships in Atlanta Ga. back in 1997. Very kind and likeable, pretty good crowd came by to greet and meet her. It was really amazing to see someone whom you had grown up with through the TV screen and then years later getting to meet in person. Brought back many childhood memories. Thanks Miss Judy Robinson.
I still watch it on me TV on Saturday morning at 1am and growing up in the 60s and 70s
I can't get enough of this stuff. Love it.
Lost in Space was one of my favorite TV shows of all time (along with Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and a few others). I especially liked Dr. Smith for his cowarly acts and his insults. I even learned some vocabulary from him like when he once called the robot a pusillanimous puppy. He always had me laughing.
As A Kid I always wanted to be Will Robinson and have my own Robot. I loved that show growing up.
How great was Jonathan Harris! That show would not have been what it was without campy ol' Dr Smith. " Oh the pain, the pain!"
Loved the first season!
You forgot Angela's role in Beyond The Poseidon Adventure in '76!
The movie was a huge flop.
I loved this show as a kid! Got a reel to reel tape recorder for Christmas and recorded the audio and practiced the line, since my name is Smith, "Never fear, Smith is here! " My best friend used to come over to watch it with me as I was an only child. Great memories.
Steve Irwin was a famous cheapskate but he did have a knack for finding talented actors for this series. they were all great in their roles.
Did you mean "Irwin Allen"?
@@winslowjoy2629 correction Irwin Allen.
Timeless series!... thanks for this 👍
I was really surprised the other cast members didn’t go on to other roles. Bill Mumy continued but always seemed “marginalized”. Mark Goddard was great, as well as Marta and Angela, and not sure why they were never offered roles! Johnathan Harris was pretty much typecast as Smith, but he made a pretty good retirement out of that!
June Lockhart also played Gary Cooper’s sister in Sgt. York along with being the iconic Campbell soup lady in the 60’s.
First class research and presentation. Lost in Space brings back many happy childhood memories. Thank you and well done.
I appreciate the work put into things like this. How easy it is to Wonder something and have the answers in a moment.
Marta Kristen was my teenage crush.
Jonathan Harris also voiced the IL series Cylon, Lucifer, in the original Battlestar Galactica. Also, June Lockhart guested in the Babylon-5 first season episode, "The Quality of Mercy," that set up a tragic event later in the series fourth season.
June is 97. Well done!
Awesome. She was my earliest crush growing up. Always a beautiful, classy lady.
The first season was the best because it actually was more serious in it's adventure that held my attention as a kid. What would it be like if you had to depend on all your family members to survive in strange new worlds? What would those worlds be like? Once Dr. Smith morphed his evil character into a manipulative campy old man with a bad back who loves robots and young boys, I kind of lost interest. I kept hoping for it to get better, but all I got was guys dressed up as stocks of broccoli and a green woman stalking Dr Closet Case from outside the ship.😉
I completely agree. The 1st season was fairly serious but the 2nd and 3rd were just so hokey and corny. I watched every episode with hopes it would improve but The Great Vegetable Rebellion was proof it wouldn’t.
they totally did change Smith from season 1 yes.
@@markw208 The black & white episodes are the only good ones, with Season One being the best.
Hey, Athena was hot!
The green mist lady.😃@@chuckkells5509
A BLAST from the past! 🚀
Great memories. In Australia, I used to Rush home from school to Watch Lost in Space, Brilliant imagination allowing kids to be Kids.
"Lost in Space" was one of my Favorite TV Series in it's 1st two years. It seems like the further it went along, the more Juvenile it became. I do have the entire 3rd Season on DVD, however, But the real reason is that in the 3rd Season, there was a Guest Star of My NAME -- GRANT SULLIVAN (i). He's in the IMDb. He's "I" because after he Retired, not long after his appearance in "Lost in Space" Season 3, another Actor took his Name -- GRANT SULLIVAN (II). The 2nd Grant Sullivan has had minor roles, including a significant role in a less-known movie with Kelsey Grammar.
I do have some Family cousin-connections so some of this TV Series.
My Favorite was Guy Williams. I was a Huge Fan of Guy Williams in "Zorro".
Of course, I also saw June Lockhart in "Lassie". The Original Case of TV's "Lassie" was replaced at some point with a whole new Case, including June. Yet, it was the "same" Lassie for the whole TV Series!! Amazing!! Collies don't normally live that long! The Lassie that appeared later was a Descendant of the Original TV Lassie.
Stanley Adams was Cyrano Jones on Star Trek. The Tribble peddler. On lost in space he played the infamous giant carrot.
He also played Otis Campbell's brother in an episode of Andy Griffith
Was Carrot man not just a carrot. Also Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was so popular it had a sequel and cartoon series.
He also had a part in Breakfast at Tiffany's as one of Holly Golightly's rich acquaintances who she saw as a potential husband.
Parents John & June: "Sure Will, wander wherever on this unknown planet- You're 10 now. Just be back for supper."
My favorite show when I was a kid. The robot-Dr. Smith dynamic was hilarious.
June lockhardt 97 ?? Amazing !!!
Good to know. Loved the show as a kid. Thank you.
The B9 Environmental Control Robot inspired me to pursue robotics. I can't think of any TV shows now that would inspire one to do anything other than vegetate. Also, even though I was only 8 when LIS started in Australia, I was madly in love with Marta Kristen.
I met Marta Kristen at a con, couple of years ago. Still beautiful; gracious and funny.
Glad to see that the robot got a mention.
When I was growing up, one of my first ever crushes was Guy Williams.
When they re-ran the show in the 1980's in the UK, I had more of a thing for Marc Goddard! 😉😉
I had the biggest crush on Angela cartwright when I was 5
I still watch it on TV. MeTV from Phoenix , Arizona.
I remember when Jonathan Harris was a guest on Sanford & Son. That profound accent was undeniable.
When I was eight I saw the show for the first time and developed a crush for mark goodard😅
Being the same age as Angela Cartwright, I was an avid fan of both 'Make Room for Daddy' and 'Lost in Space'. I am also the same age as the Beaver and Opie. I don't think there are similar role models for kids now-a-days.
Amazing, so much history on this video
June Lockhart sounds very cool.
Yep, Bart La Rue, he did a lot for Star Trek. Had a great voice.
Wow a blast from the past. I remember the show well.
This show was so cool, as a child of the 60's, I Ioved it
I also liked Jonathan Harris’ voicing the character Lucifer in Battlestar Galactica
My son was an artist and sculptor of Dinosaurs back in the 2000's.. Every year we attended Wonderfest in Louisville, KY. I met many Sci-Fi stars including Marta Kristen, Mark Goddard and Bobby May who played in the Robot on Lost in Space. I had to chuckle at the fact, Bobby May was really milking out his Robot fame. He reminded me of a used car salesman when he talked. Mark Goddard was a very funny guy. He talked about his interactions with the producer Irwin Allen! Mark was known to be a prankster. Marta came a cross as just a sweet woman who by the early 2000's was a grandmother. I'm 65 years old and remember Lost in Space when it aired prime time...
Judy, Judy, Judy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
COULD STILL WATCH IT♥
I had the pleasure of meeting both Mark Goddard and Marta Kristen here in Australia. Mark Goddard came to Australia to promote the Lost in Space movie back in 1997. I met Marta Kristen in 2001 the first time and again a couple of years later when she returned to Australia. I just learnt that Mark Goddard passed away in October 2023. Marta was very nice, as was Mark.
Mark Goddard is a teacher in Bridgwater mass, I met him at a party it was nice to meet him .I loved the show as a kid .
Mark Goddard who played Don West died October 10, 2023 at the age of 87.
Oh, I didn't realise this. RIP Mark Goddard (aka Don West).
