Lost In Space: Season 1 [DVD] [1965]

This American made TV series follows this made up family, as it travels through space in a space ship, along the way they come across all sorts of difficult situations, where they have to escape it has a lot of endings in it that lead on to the next episode, then the show goes into character development area amongst the children and the mother and so on. This American TV show does feature different villains in each episode. It's not really much of a science fiction action adventure show. More of a character piece with some science fiction elements in it. This was one of the first American TV shows the famous Irwin Allen produced.

The first season is the best, though clearly aimed at young children watching with their parents (like I did), unlike Star Trek which aired a couple of years later and was real science fiction aimed at older children and adults. The first season of 30 black and white episodes includes the brilliant first five all telling a continuous story of the Jupiter 2's launch from Earth in 1997 for Alpha Centauri, its sabotage by an enemy agent, voyage through unknown space and crash landing on an unknown alien planet. These first five episodes feature science fiction staples such as meteor storms, deadly comets, spacewalks, truly weird aliens aboard their seemingly derelict spaceship, out-of-control robots, ray guns, suspended animation, the planet-roving futuristic chariot, a real working NASA jet pack, lost civilisations, giant electric tumbleweed, a chimpanzee in fancy dress, mutant peas, whirlpools and the famous giant one-eyed monster cyclops. After that it gets a bit silly. But there's still episode 13 which scared the hell out of me as a kid.Kids will still love it.

Think of Stargate without the gate, just an anchor/beacon beamed to another world and that lays the foundation for others to travel down to that world and bring their families and possessions.A very lovely story with a subplot of mistrust of strange new neighbours all cured through the leadership of a child.My all time favourite episode & there was many with the lost in space family.

This is a fun not to be taken seriously scifi classic. While not up there with Star Trek, The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits this is still a very enjoyable series. Starting off surprisingly seriously in the dated future of 1997, this sees the all American Robinson family leave Earth in their ship the Jupiter 2 for an Earth colony in Alpha Centauri only to crash land on another uncharted planet thanks to a sabateur working for an unknown foreign power, the brilliant Dr Smith who starts off as a surprisingly menacing evil villain but soon as the show goes on gradually turns into one of the campest characters ever seen on tv who you just can't take seriously. Always only on the lookout for himself, always selfish and a completely over the top coward who litterally jumps at his own shadow, it's a brilliant scene stealing performance from Jonathan Harris who despite being listed as a guest star steals the show away from the main cast who are fine especially the excellent Billy Mumy as young genius Will Robinson. The show gradually gets camper and camper and sillier and sillier as it goes along and you can't help thinking we might have seen something truly special if they had stuck with the serious tone of the early episodes. The only character who is suspicious of Smith is pilot Don West but the Robinson family have to be the stupidest family on tv always forgetting how dangerous Smith is and always forgiving him and letting him return to the group. As long as you don't take too seriously and ignore the awfull effects you should enjoy this fun series.

I love this to watch over and over againIt is really good to watch from the 60s if you’re into sci-fi I know it’s not the greatest but I love it

Excellent buy and the box presentation is really good, I bought this as memories from my teenage years can remember it being run on Sunday lunchtime around 11.00am still love the series as much

I am a Sci Fi nut so the more 'B' rated the movie the better...if its not good with the plot, you can always have a laugh at the vintage 'special effects'! This is a classic series and is always worth a watch...something you can pick up and enjoy anytime...any episode
