Summary: Give a brother some love....
Review: Why they be releasing all these honky shows? I go to Wal-Mart and see nothing but old TV shows on DVD distributed by whitey. What up wit dat? I'm just waiting for the DVD release of 'What's Happenin' and 'That's my Mama'.

Summary: Fabulous
Review: It's just as raw and wonderful as I remembered it back in the early sixties! I can't wait until all the episodes are available!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cannot wait for the rest of the series
Review: The first season is wonderful.Being that we are in the year 2004 and the Robinsons lifted off in "1997" makes it sometimes hysterical.Dr.Smith has some one liners and moments that are pure camp.I loved this show when it premiered almost 40 years ago and I love it even more now.Although the sound is in 2.0,it can still rock with the subwoofer cranked.

Summary: Lost in Space the complete first season.......
Review: When I found out the 1st season was coming out I was stunned, after waiting my entire adult life (Im 44 yrs old) to see all these fantastic shows again I couldnt wait to get this DVD collection, and it was worth the wait, I dont care if the transfer is not 100% those happy childhood memories came flooding back, I laughed like I have not laughed for more than 30 years!!! Doctor Smith's antics took on a whole new perspective to me now, the subtle verbal interplay between him the Robot had me in stiches, as a child I remember that he scared the pants off me with his evil intentions to "do away with those noble Pioneers, the Robinsons" but now his deamenour takes on new meaning......sure the special effects are not exactly Industrial Light and Magic, but that just serves to make the whole show more organic, the emphasis is on storytelling and the series is all the stronger for that, something that later Sci Fi shows that followed were lacking in ....Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century is an example that springs to mind....

You must buy this series even if you are only curious as to what all the fuss is about, show it to your children when they want to play "Resident Evil" on the Playstation, and watch their reaction, my 10 year old boy called it "a pile of crap" when he saw it with me recently.....then my wife told me that she caught him watching them alone in his room !!! now he brings school friends around to watch them....and they have even started a Lost in Space School Fan Club...

Truly a great show...no real violence, no blood, no flesh eating monsters, and yet it remains entertaining...I cannot wait to buy the rest of the series, and if anyone from Fox is reading please please please...can we have "The Time Tunnel" and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" on DVD too...pretty please???

Summary: Lost In Space - lost in transfer
Review: While I'm glad to finally see Lost In Space out in the DVD format, I'm disappointed in the quality of the set.

It is glaringly obvious that the no effort was made by Fox to digitally remaster the episodes from the original 35mm films for DVD presentation. They simply digitized the same source material that has been used to create the previous VHS and Laserdisc releases. And the DVD mastering house, DVCC, didn't make any efforts to clean things up either.

Another person here observed the gray bar running down the right side of the episode "The Derelict". This is the result of the episode being transferred off frame - the image was shifted to the left during transfer. A major quality control failure on the the part of DVCC.

While I wouldn't tell anyone not to buy the set, since there's no guarantee it will ever be done again, I would encourage anyone who is disappointed with the transfer quality to e-mail FOX and register your displeasure with them over the quality of the mastering done. Had these episodes been digitally remastered from the original prints, as they should have been, everyone would have been stunned at how much better these episodes would have looked.

All we can do is hope that if enough feedback is given FOX will consider digitally remastering Lost In Space and give it the presentation it deserves.

Summary: This Is The Beginning ..........
Review: I haven't seen Lost In Space uncut since the early 80's. It hasn't lost it's appeal to me. It is well worth the money. Considering that the show was made in the mid 60's it has some good special effects. You can see the "metors" bounce off of the Jupiter 2. Also the famous plastic wrap makes it apperance in the Invaders from the 5th Dimension. It looks really cool how it shimmers and ripples under the lights.

The DVD quality is very good, mine has a bit of a hiccup during the first few seconds of Island In The Sky.

During the first couple of episodes I have wondered why they didn't push Dr. Smith into the airlock and "space him".

However Dr. Smith and The Robots addition makes the reason why they went off course much more believable than the Bonus Pilot "No Where To Hide" when the Gemmi 12 encountered a circular metor storm and they couldn't alter the course fast enough to avoid it.

I see that the second season will released later this year. I can't wait for the second and third seasons.

Summary: Lost in Lost in Space
Review: "Lost in Space" began as a serious science fiction adventure series about a family of space travelers who becomes marooned on an unknown planet thanks to the wreckless efforts of stowaway Dr. Zachary Smith who programmed the environmental control robot to destroy the Jupiter 2. This first season shows some of the very best episodes of the series. It also includes the unaired pilot "No Place to Hide" as well as the promo for the network.
"Lost in Space" has always been my favorite space program even today. It has comedy, adventure, family values, and is enjoyable for the entire family.
Yes, the show became terribly campy in its second and third seasons but even in the camp, there are some good stories hidden in the plots.
The DVD set itself is outstanding. It has a handsome case, each disk case containing a picture of a cast member as well as a color coded disk. I found no problems in video or audio while viewing the episodes and I also was glad to be able to watch these shows completely unedited.
As a side note, the last episode has a trailer for the first color episode which is the first episode in season 2. Hopefully it will wet people's appetite for more episodes. I understand that seasons 2 and 3 will be available soon.
I am very pleased that "Lost in Space" is available on DVD and I certainly hope to see more shows with good morals and family values coming to DVD to keep for a very long time.

Summary: A great show for kids and kids that have grown up...
Review: Extremly please to have season 1 of L.I.S because its a unique
diamond that cant and will never be duplicate. All actors and Robot on this show produced a chemistry that held my attention for the last 35 years and wil keep it for the next 35. From all other postive replies you can see why LIS made such a impact.
Even if they spend a billion dollars remaking lost in space, it will never match what has been done by Mr. Irwin Allen...
Priorities have changed,,and i dont think writters of today could accomplish anything without adding in the following crap todays show are made of: Sex, Violence, product placement,
beautifull bodies with a lack of brains,and super hyper commercials distracting you every 8 minutes....
So again a big thank you to Fox for briging out the DVD, and
to the recently departed DR.Smith who was a joy to listen to as
his character evolved througout the seasons.

Summary: Brings back my childhood. "Mr. Nobody"!!!
Review: My wife purchased this for me for X-mas. Fantastic gift! Now, not only can I (not wait for the other two seasons to be released) but I can finally get rid of my VHS collection. Some of the tapes I've been watching were actually recorded from cable. Many missing scenes. The DVD quality is great, clean video, and in (((STEREO))). It would be nice if they would include more "bonus" footage in the next releases but the way the Sci-Fi Channel was editing the episodes for commercials, it is like watching extra footage anyways. Please bring out the rest of the series!!! And, to the people that watched this when it originally aired, try turning off the color on your television, for season two and three, when you first watch them. It's pretty neat since this is the way most of us saw them the first time anyways, lol. Bring it on 20th Century FOX, we'll buy it.

Summary: Lost in Heaven
Review: It seems like I've waited a lifetime for this DVD release. Like many, I was a kid when I became addicted to Lost in Space (about 1969). Around that time I moved to Puerto Rico and wondered if I'd ever see it again. To my surprise, it soon arrived in Puerto Rico -- dubbed in Spanish. So, it was an added bonus to me that this DVD collection also has the Spanish dubbing of each Season 1 episode. Believe me, not much was lost in the translation. Still, nothing compares to hearing Dr. Smith in his native English. For those who like "special features", this DVD may come as a disappointment since it only has two (the unaired pilot and a featurette). But for those like me who adored the series, this DVD set is out of this world.
