Summary: Lost In space LIVES!
Review: This program may not have been as heavily promoted as it should have been, but that aside, it is the second best retrospective of LIS there is. (Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen being the best, and due on DVD)the extras at the end are well worth the cost alone.Thanks to the producers, Bill Mumy, Jonathan Harris, and the rest for turning out such a great product. If you haven't bought it yet, BUY IT NOW!

Summary: This is a must for the "Lost in Space" fan
Review: This was one of the main reasons I bought my DVD player several years ago. For the "Lost in Space" this is a must. Although the television production is not that great, the extras are terrific, including outtakes and Guy William's screen test. Now that Jonathan Harris has left us, this DVD is even more special as he, Bill Mumy, and Bob May recreate their characters from the classic series one last time together.

Summary: Oh What A Trip Down Memory Space Lane
Review: What a tepid treat this DVD is. Packed with all the frolicky fun and silly scenes from many of the earlier series, this DVD delivers. The music of early John Williams is all here too, hinting at the genius scores he was yet to create. Like most DVD's there are plenty of surprises, like unshown footage of cheesy monsters and tricky gadgets. There is a modern "play-act" scene with an Adult Will Robinson, and an even MORE adult Dr. Smith and the Robot. All reenact the campiness that gave the original it's camp status. It's a great trip through space nostalgia and an obvious precursor to Star Trek. Also included is the eerie screen test for Guy Williams. Eerie, in that, he seems to be holding all the male set crewmen with heavy eye-contact during the test. You'd have to see it to believe it, but what was he doing? Hmmmm. That cigarette sure lasted a long time! Lots of Supplemental features. Enjoy!

Summary: HORRIBLE!
Review: When you're watching a documentary and you know more facts about a particular subject then they do, you're in trouble. AND I'M DEFINATLY NO EXPERT ON THE SUBJECT! This pathetic excuse for a documentary is little more than an excuse to plug that horrible remake film. YES they interview most of the original cast, but for a grand total of 5 minutes total! The last 20 minutes were wasted John Laroquette talking to "THE ROBOT" and Bill Mumy and Dr. Smith reinacting a new scene. BUT if you liked the pathetic extras on the original Fantasia on Laserdisc where the rambling fat guy went on about "cherry tarts" or the Laserdisc Star Wars box set which ended with the host talking to R2D2, this Lost in Space Forever is for you.

Summary: One Last Trip Aboard the Jupiter 2
Review: While the majority of this DVD is a rehash of other Lost in Space documentaries, it is worth purchasing for the last 10 minutes of the main feature - in which Dr. Smith and Will reappear aboard the pretty accuruate reconstruction of the Jupiter 2 - in full character and costume. The late great Johnathan Harris shows he can still play Dr. Smith to a tee. While its a shame he did not live to participate in the "Voyage Home" TV movie, this is the next best thing seeing these memorable characters give it one last show. Also interesting is the "making of" segment showing the filming of the final segment. No serious Lost in Space should be without having this DVD.

Summary: Lost Forever-- Found at LAST!
Review: WOW! I've really got to hand it to the producers of this programme. It is SPECTACULAR! I had heard about it when it was first broadcast in the States, but I couldn't find a copy ANYWHERE! Now, thanks to the folks at Foxstar Productions(who produced it) and Image Entertainment, HERE IT IS! One hour of GREAT information on Irwin Allen's BEST TELEVISION SERIES EVER! Hosted by TV's John Laroquette, it has everything from clips (galore) to interviews, bloopers, and scenes from the movie. But the BEST is at the END! There... RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES... JOHNATHAN HARRIS, BILL MUMY and THE ROBOT POP IN! ON THE SET OF THE JUPITER 2! IN CHARACTER! Unbeleveable, folks. As if all of this weren't enough, the DVD includes BONUS MATERIALS! Guy Williams COMPLETE screentest! Special effects bloopers! A behind-the-scenes featurette! The ORIGINAL CBS-TV network sales presentation (that was used by Irwin to promote the show to advertisers and toy companies)! What MORE could you ask for? How about GREAT picture, colour and sound quality! If you are reading this and haven't purchased one yet -- SHAME ON YOU. As for me? I was lucky to get a preview of the DVD from a friend who works at 20th Century Fox TV. I've already ordered mine! ENJOY!
