Lost In Space Forever - Part 1


Lost in Space is an American science fiction television series, created and produced by Irwin Allen, which originally aired between 1965 and 1968 on CBS.[3] The series was inspired by the 1812 novel The Swiss Family Robinson. The series follows the adventures of the Robinsons, a pioneering family of space colonists who struggle to survive in the depths of space. The show ran for 83 episodes over three seasons. The first season comprised 29 episodes that ran 1 hour apiece, filmed in black and white. Later, for seasons 2 and 3, the episodes would be 54 minutes long and shot in color.


Lost in Space Forever

In 1998, Burns produced a television special about the series which was hosted by John Larroquette and Robot B-9 (performed by actor Bob May and voice actor Dick Tufeld). The special was hosted within a recreation of the Jupiter 2 upper deck set. The program ends with Laroquette mockingly pressing a button on the Amulet from "The Galaxy Gift" episode, disappearing and being replaced by Mumy and Harris who play an older Will Robinson and an older Zachary Smith. They attempt to return to Earth one more time but they find out that they are "Lost in Space ... Forever!"



Armando Joseph Catalano (January 14, 1924 – April 30, 1989[1]), better known as Guy Williams, was an American actor. He played swashbuckling action heroes in the 1950s and 1960s.[2]

Among his most notable achievements were two TV series: Zorro in the title role, and as the father of the Robinson family on the popular sci-fi series Lost in Space.

During most of the 1970s, Guy Williams frequently visited and worked in television shows in Argentina, where he was most revered.[3] He retired in the early 1980s in Buenos Aires, where he died of a brain aneurysm in 1989.

I remember this TV show, I mostly remember Dr Smith, The Robert, and Will Robinson.
I also seem to remember Zorro too.
So from the start of the show, John Robinson was the hero, but may be the good get boring sometimes? or is it just me that can see my own weakness in myself, to match Dr Zachary Smith, even if we want to be heroes to others, and might not like it, when we are less Zorro and more Dr Smith?
