Rating: Summary: Well worth the money! Review: Doesnt have the impact as when you were a kid,but still a very good show!Fox did a great job with the quality and package of this set. Splitting the second season in two packages is a bit disappointing, i'll buy it no matter what.Two releases will add up to the same price anyway,i just hope they are released close together,not several months in between!Spend your money on this set,you will be glad you did!Lots of fun!
Rating: Summary: First Season Great, Second Season Delayed Review: Just want to add my voice to all the other excellent reviews that have been posted here. The black & white episodes of LOST IN SPACE are fantastic!The latest word from 20th Century Fox is that sales of the first season boxed set have been good but not great. Consequently they are considering releasing the second season in two parts (15 episodes each), hoping that the lower price of each package will be more appealing to DVD buyers. The tentative release date for part 1 is this September. Whatever the date, it will be well worth waiting for.
Rating: Summary: Reluctant Stowaway Review: I was close to 12 years old when the show came on the air. My parents subscribed to "TV Guide", so I remember being excited reading about LIS in the 1965 fall season preview issue. I remember watching that first episode, "Reluctant Stowaway" on our black and white big screen RCA TV. I was enthralled with the glowing Jupiter 2 taking off, the menacing Robot, the villainous Dr. Smith, the family in silver space suits floating in zero gravity and Prof. Robinson's space walk. As the series progressed, we were treated to a variety of alien visitors, monsters, disasters, predicaments and Dr. Smith's scheming to find a way back to Earth. LIS on DVD brings richness to the dramatic musical score and sharpness to each scene. The soundtrack is so clear on DVD that I actually can hear Bob May's feet shuffling as the Robot enters the Keeper's spaceship. My favorite episodes have been "Reluctant Stowaway", "The Magic Mirror", "Return from Outer Space" and "Follow the Leader". I love how the lead-in for the second season premier episode "Blast off into Space" follows the end of "Follow the Leader" (as the video version had also done). The transition from black and white to brilliant color is wonderful. I can't wait for the second season to be available on DVD.
Rating: Summary: Making new memories from the old ... Review: If you were a fan of this show during your childhood like I was, then I strongly recommend purchasing this DVD set. I have so many memories watching this show in syndication after school (1st grade, mind you) and was completely captivated by the evil Dr. Smith and the 1st-season-rigid Robot. And folks mention their boyhood crushes on Penny - anyone seen Marta Kristen (aka, Judy Robinson) lately? She is such a beautiful woman who has aged marvelously! :) Errrrr, anyway... If you're now a proud parent who grew up with this show, it's all the more reason to add it to your cherished collection of DVDs, because your kids can learn much from its underlying message of wholesome family values. It's refreshing to watch! My 3yr old daughter really digs "the mean doctor!" And her favorite episode is where Dr. Smith is kicked off the Jupiter 2 to fend for himself (the 1st time ), and the "funny bird" (as my daughter calls it) that looks like a flying sting ray howls over Dr. Smith's campsite...watching Smith cower in laughable fear always makes me chuckle and she loves to watch that strange creature fly and howl over and over again. Ah, new memories being made with my own kids! My all-time favorite episode (which season?) is where the Robot turns into a giant, and then shrinks back to normal size with Will Robinson and Dr. Smith racing through the Robot's innards to escape. Now THAT is action at its best!! Great job, Fox!
Rating: Summary: Can¿t wait for season 2 Review: Arrr, what can I say? I loved the show as a kid and now turning on my little one to it. It was great seeing o'l Captain Tucker again. I hope they do the rest of the seasons as well. I've gotta get the one where Dr. Smith cuts out the middle section of Penny's Birthday Cake and slides the sides together so it looks untouched. Now if I could just get my son to stop calling me a "Bellicose bumpkin" among other things. Brings back memories and still fun to watch.
Rating: Summary: two reasons Review: forget about sci fi,forget about penny because this show is hilarious. the only two reasons to watch Lost in Space is Dr.Smith and the Robot. take those 2 characters out and the great music and you have one dull show. sorry but thats just the way it is.
Rating: Summary: A trip down memory lane Review: I read all the reviews, and it seems like most of them are from guys with a crush on Penny. Well, some of us girls with dads who were scifi buffs were also raised on Lost in Space, and we love it too. What a wholesome and fantastic show (even if it is somewhat funny viewed by adult eyes). I have kids now, and you guessed it, I bought the DVD set so I can introduce them to the show (minus the commercials we'd also view on regular TV). Bring on season 2 and 3 already!
Rating: Summary: Great DVD set Review: The review "A treat for the nostalgia buff, March 18, 2004" has said it all, even down the crush on Penny, Angela Cartwright. It does bring back childhood memories. I was seven when this show first aired. Other great shows from then are "The Time Tunnel" and the show that must have been a big influence on "The X-Files" creator "The Invaders" starring Roy Thinnes, "a Quinn Martin production". The special effects were ahead of the time then. I highly recommend this set. Lost In Space may be a little dated but it still holds your attention.
Rating: Summary: Release season 2 and 3 already!!! Review: I love it! Where is season 2 and 3? I'm waiting to buy!!! RELEASE THE COMPLETE SET ON DVD ALREADY!!!
Rating: Summary: Irwin Allen's Best Series Review: Out of all the excellent shows Irwin Allen created, this is by far the best, a mixture of comedy and sci-fi and a brilliant show. The show was about the American Family Robinson who set off, in 1997, to another star system. Unknown to the Robinson's, evil spy Dr Zachary Smith was on board and his shenanigans blew the Jupiter 2 spaceship off course. Then, the fun began. The Robinsons and Smith met all manner of strange creatures and got into different situations. The show was addictive to be honest. You never knew what to expect with each episode. And who can forget Robert the Robot? Jonathan Harris played Dr. Smith and initially he was every bit the evil one but as time passed, he became more of a harmless old buffoon as opposed to an evil spy. This show was made in the 60's so being ridiculous was a prerequisite. Think Batman, Land Of The Giants, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea and Star Trek and how crazy they were. This show was the same. Whatever you do, don't bother checking out the 1998 movie version.
