Lost in Space	comment	Classic camp sci-fi family series from the Sixties that lasted three seasons. Featured the adventures of the Space Family Robinson, Major West, the Robot and shanghaied saboteur Dr. Smith as they search for Earth, after they become Lost... In Space.Lost in Space was a rival for Star Trek: The Original Series in the realm of serious sci-fi, which might explain the show's turn from serious Speculative Fiction into Fantastic Comedy to keep a share of the viewing audience. Ratings wise, Lost in Space was actually the more popular series by far during their original run. Notable for its beautiful music (including two opening themes by Johnny Williams), sets, skin tight ski-spacesuits, aliens, inventive and surreal plots, and highly articulated Robot, itself a "cousin" of Robby the Robot from the film Forbidden Planet (who also guest starred on the show). The original plot had the Robinsons as explorer/settlers, with Dr. Smith as a saboteur paid by an unseen agency to program The Robot to kill the Robinsons and ruin their mission. This show is often mocked by those who only remember the comedy and talking carrots of the later seasons, but is actually an often well-written show suitable for all age groups. It has a loyal fanbase, and inspired many. The first episodes were in black and white and involved exploring the planet they crash-landed on. When the show shifted to camp it involved their conflicts with resident or visiting aliens of all sorts. In the 3rd season, the formula was altered to feature more actual space travel, as well as a more action based format.One of a family of shows created by Irwin Allen, along with Land of the Giants, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and The Time Tunnel.May well be one of the classics of sci-fi for no other reason than the scene-chewing Large Ham glory of Jonathan Harris (Dr. Smith) and his pained and witty repartee with the Robot. While its going from serious to camp may well have been a blow to later efforts at serious sci-fi, it was nonetheless a surreal joy to watch. The recent attempts to reboot it as a serious series may be doomed to fail because of this, as it's best remembered as a humorous series.The low budget of the show was apparent in later episodes, but the shows original unaired pilot was the most expensive of the time, and the show's Spaceship sets were more expensive than Star Trek's Starship Enterprise.The series received a film adaptation in 1998. It was a modest box office hitnote best remembered for knocking Titanic (1997) out of the #1 box office position it had occupied for four months but often dismissed as a "dim-witted shoot-'em-up" by critics. An attempt to create a television remake in 2003-2004 went nowhere. In 2015, Netflix announced that they would try their hand at creating their own adaptation, which was released on April 13, 2018.Not to Be Confused with some sort of strange sci-fi cast-away show; that would be Lost In Space!Also not to be confused with the comic book Space Family Robinson.

Lost in Space / int_1e5df5	comment	Dr. Smith's habit of referring to The Robot as a booby is a downplayed example. Boob already existed as slang for breast by the sixties, though given Dr. Smith's character as pompous and old-fashioned it was perfectly reasonable for him to use it in the non-breast sense. By the 21st century, and with the idiot sense of boob having become less common, it can cause more of a Heh Heh, You Said "X" reaction in modern audiences.

The would-be revival cast Jayne Brook in the role. In the film, June Lockhart had a brief cameo as the school principal.

Lost in Space / int_27006e86	comment	People Zoo: In the two-parter "The Keeper", the titular alien (played by Michael Rennie) wants Penny and Will for his interplanetary zoo, which naturally causes John and Maureen some distress. Making it more disturbing (possibly even more than the show's creators realized) is The Keeper's method of taking them — he has a staff that emits a signal that makes Penny and Will want to go to him. It's deeply creepy to hear the kids, in flat voices, tell John they want to go for a walk, with him knowing what's waiting for them outside. If he lets down his guard for even a moment...

Cut to a ridiculously large pile of stuff like bowling pins, floor lamps, a fishbowl, skis, etc. And yet later episodes show even more ridiculous gear, such as the infamous cash register.

Lost in Space / int_35543514	comment	Just Eat Gilligan: Substitute Dr. Smith for Gilligan. Dr. Smith would frequently instigate, or at least exacerbate, the problem the characters had to deal with in an episode. A particularly noteworthy example occurred in "The Lost Civilization". The previous episode had focused on the female members of the crew and Dr. Smith, while the remaining male members and the robot went looking for water. This episode showed what happened to the male members. When something went wrong with the air conditioner unit (which would ultimately set off the plot), it was initially assumed that for once Dr. Smith couldn't be responsible due to how far away he was. It then turned out that he'd stolen parts from the air conditioner unit the night before.

Doctor Smith was a bit more diabolical, the Robot was more of a tool than a character, and the show was more focused on the family. To keep up with its new rival, the 60s Batman, it changed things up from the second season onward. The show was now in color, Doctor Smith was hammier, the Robot now had a personality, and the show became much campier. The series was also now more focused on Smith, Will, the Robot, and their misadventures.

Lost in Space / int_5a40d6a	type	Adaptation Distillation
Lost in Space / int_5a40d6a	comment	Adaptation Distillation: The short-lived comic book written by Bill Mumy is remarkably well done. It assumes that the transition to Camp reflects the embellishments young Penny used when recording the crew's adventures in her diary, and that the tone of their adventures actually stayed much truer to the tone of the early episodes. It's set several years after the last episode, with Will in his teens and Penny now a blossoming young woman. The Robot is scaled back to his original portrayal of being mostly nonsentient, but is slowly developing self-awareness as more and more alien components have been added to him over the years. All the characters' personalities are explored in depth, and the art is wonderful. One jarring element, however, is the shamelessly cheesecake style that grown-up Penny is drawn in (well, it was the Nineties, after all). Other Lost in Space adaptations changed the premise significantly, though these qualify more as a reboot than a continuation.

Verged on 1-D space in an episode where the Jupiter II was set on a course to Earth, which was too dangerous to use because it passed directly through the sun. Apparently, the sun was too big to steer around. According to the dialogue in the scene, they didn't have the fuel to make it to Earth if they went around the Sun.note However, the fuel was sufficient to reach the Automated Planet in the next episode ("Ghost Planet"), even with enough fuel for maneuvering at a Space Controller request. And a soft landing. And take-off. Also, while on the way into direction of the Earth, the spaceship enters the solar system, passes Uranus and Arcturus and...wait. Arcturus is a giant red star, 36.7 light-years away from he sun. They have enough fuel for a detour of 2*36.7=73.4 light-years, steer around a giant red star, but they don't have enough fuel to steer around the sun? - Note that in the same episode Smith and Don return from a spacewalk without their helmets on. That explains why nobody thinks of sending Smith onto a spacewalk without a suit - he would survive it.

Lost in Space / int_7c4f6612	comment	Comic-Book Adaptation: A strange circumstance occurred in the 1960s. At the time the series began, Gold Key Comics, which usually published adaptations of virtually every sci-fi TV series on the air, already had an unrelated comic book series about a family named Robinson who were lost in space. Titled Space Family Robinson, the comic continued concurrently with the TV series, with Gold Key retitling the magazine Space Family Robinson - Lost in Space on Space Station One. Otherwise the comic had no connection to the TV series, and in fact continued to be published well into the 1970s. It wasn't until the early 1990s when Innovation Comics published its Ms. Fanservice-heavy Lost in Space (see under "Adaptation Distillation") that a proper comic based on the TV series arrived.

Lost in Space / int_80b5924	comment	Left Hanging: Like most high-concept Sit Coms of the era it was canceled without advance warning, with the last episode "in the can" at the time becoming the Last Episode, because that's how the business was done at the time. The same can also be said of the aborted pilot for a new series, which also ends without resolution. The comics sort of conclude the series, but they too where left hanging until the "Voyage to the Bottom of the Soul" graphic novel finished the story, but it too ended on a cliffhanger. Bill Mumy later wrote a song about his character as the group's now middle-aged sole survivor still out there with only the Robot for companionship, that qualifies as a semi-Canon Poison Oak Epileptic Tree, and it was a plot point in The Movie. Eventually however, the Lost in Space reunion "The Epilogue" gave the show a happy ending.

Lost in Space / int_a68421bb	comment	Animated Adaptation: After the series was canceled, a pilot for a cartoon version was created. The show was completely changed - the family was no longer the Robinsons, the Jupiter II completely redesigned into a more rocket looking space craft, the Robot given a much more generic robot voice, Dr Smith a member of the crew from the beginning - the only things remaining from the original series being Dr Smith (voiced by Jonathan Harris), the Robot, and the fact that they were ...well.. lost in space.

The entire cast is horrified and the Sultan traps her once again in the bottle, begging the family not to let her out. The episode ends with her trying to convince The Robot to rub the bottle, who is not fooled. This all makes sense when you realize that I Dream of Jeannie aired at the same timeslot as Lost in Space.

Smith naturally concludes that he's going to be killed (though anyone else would realise that the positive description didn't really describe him). It turns out that after an issue with the atomic cooker's heating coils, they decided to bury it.

Lost in Space / int_f32d85ab	type	20 Minutes into the Future
Lost in Space / int_f32d85ab	comment	20 Minutes into the Future: In the pilot set in 1997, the space agency director's desk has a rotary phone, with a reel-to reel tape recorder and plenty of blinking lights on the wall behind, and not a PC in sight... but the producers deliberately did NOT make Dr. Smith a Soviet/Communist agent because they actually did guess the Cold War would be over by 1997. The Sci Fi Channel aired a marathon of LIS episodes (including the unaired pilot) on October 16, 1997, the Jupiter II launch date given in the second pilot.

Lost in Space / int_fa6bfde9	comment	Have a Gay Old Time: In "Two Weeks in Space", Doctor Smith, pretending to run a resort, insisted it was the gayest resort you've ever found. Dr. Smith's habit of referring to The Robot as a booby is a downplayed example. Boob already existed as slang for breast by the sixties, though given Dr. Smith's character as pompous and old-fashioned it was perfectly reasonable for him to use it in the non-breast sense. By the 21st century, and with the idiot sense of boob having become less common, it can cause more of a Heh Heh, You Said "X" reaction in modern audiences.

Lost in Space / int_fe1b2e75	type	Bigger on the Inside
Lost in Space / int_fe1b2e75	comment	Bigger on the Inside: Between the pilot and the first aired episode, a second deck was added to the Jupiter 2, with no modification of the FX miniature. While clever direction and the ship’s status as a crash-landed derelict hid this through the first season, the more spaceflight oriented episodes of the second and third seasons soon made it obvious that the interiors couldn’t possibly fit inside the exterior. Made worse when a third-season episode, "Space Creature", gratuitously added yet a third, ridiculously large, “power core” deck, which was then never heard from again. Some other ships seem to feature this trope as well- and the ship from "Invaders From the Fifth Dimension" is specifically stated to be bigger on the inside.

Lost in Space / int_ff9e9dde	comment	Once a Season: The Jupiter 2 blasts off from a planet at the beginning of every season. (Earth in season one, Priplanus in season 2, and the second season planet in season 3.) Also, the final episode of each season invokes The Power of Love in some way- Will's love for John allows him to drive Canto out of his body at the end of Season One, the family's love for Smith keeps Arcon from sending him to a dead star in Season Two, and in Season Three the Robot is somehow saved from being destroyed in a blast furnace for the same reason.
