It's a blast from the past! We just finished binging on the new Lost in Space series and it was fun and technically engaging. And, the whole time, we were remembering the old series, with Lassie's mom and the other older actors. There's no computer animation in the old series and the actors had to act and the screenwriters had to write. It just reminds us of an older time, when we were more innocent and still loved America. I really do miss our older media, even if it didn't have computer animation and more relaxed media content.

Lost in Space in season one started out what seemed too be a new show with great adventure, action and good overall story and plot lines for the episodes with neat special effects. And it did start that way for season one. What happened in season two will always be a mystery too me. One liner note: famous music composer John Williams was responsible for the sound track music for Lost in Space, some of the famous movies hes done has been JAWS (1975) and SUPERMAN (1978) to name some of his famous works. Also Williams took over as conductor of the Boston Pops sympathy Orchestra after Author Fielder's death for a spell. Some of seasons ones most memorable episodes were as followed: 1. The Reluctant Stowaway (The start of the Robinson's bad luck with Dr. Smith) 2. Island in the Sky (first encounter with the planet) 3. There Were Giants in the Earth (giant one eyed monster) 4. Invaders From the 5th Dimension (bodiless friends wanting to make Will into a computer) 5. War of the Robots (the robot really becomes a family member) 6. The Space Croppers ( Space werewolf and two FULL MOONS) 7. The Keeper (The only two part episodes of the series) 8. The Oasis ( Dr. Smith made into a giant after eating alien fruit) 9. His Majesty Smith ( Dr. Smith is made a king of an alien race only to find out he ends up as a main dinner coarse instead) 10.The Magic Mirror (heart warming episode for Penny begins too grow up) Of course there are the rest of season one, but these serve as guide for the the few episodes that had meaning and were exciting as well as tacky!

It was a pleasure to watch a series without the gratuitous violence.The episodes were enjoyable and suspenseful to watch with a great cliff hanger at the end of every episode,making the shows very addictive and difficult turn off, even as an adult.Both my kids just love watching the shows and they get very excited when we sit down to watch another episode.I find that my youngest loves the shows and the "scary parts" who usually gets upset if a commercial comes on tv unexpectedly advertising a violent movie.It is absolutely fun to watch as a family. As for the downside of lost in space season 1 (which in no way diminishes the overall enjoyment and my high recommendation to purchase this series)The interaction between the members of the Robinson family can at times be alittle corny.There are unexplained holes in the plots that leave you wondering.Every episode is in black and white(which, incidently,my wife and I enjoyed)If you are looking for wholesome, good entertainment for your family with suspense and a touch of humor, then this is the one to buy.Read full review
The Sci Fi T.V. show, Lost in Space, was on T.V., when I was preteen. I loved this movie then, and I love it now! My son, who is in his late thirties, enjoys relieving this fun part of my childhood! This is an entertaining, wholesome television series, that is suitable for all ages, but was probably made for 6-13 year olds. This show was made towards the end of a very family-oriented, moral era, so there is not any obscene language. In some episodes, the Robinson family are seen praying and thanking the Lord for what he has given to them, or for the harm that he has saved them from. This is not a show that shared the gospel, but it is one in which people showed reverence for our Creator, and they did not take His name in vain, like so many terrible current T.V. shows and movies do now! Most of the episodes are really cute and these have many great special effects, that were new in the 1960s! This is really a fun show and I highly recommend it. "Lost in Space" was was made in the past, and forecast a sweet, wholesome future in Outer Space, that I wish that we had now! Read full review

When "LIS" started out, it was like a cross between "THE OUTER LIMITS" and "BONANZA". While season 1 got wilder as it went, only 1 episode could really be described as "silly". (That came with season 2.) Season 1 is how I wish the show had stayed, and has been a favorite of mine since it was first-run. Will Robinson was the kid I wanted to be when I was a kid, with the family I wish I had. I haven't seen most of these since the late 70s, so I've been looking forward to gettig this box set for some time! Having the unaired pilot is a GREAT bonus!
