Everyone got bent out of shape when Fox decided to release the second season of this marvelous cult science fiction series in two parts instead of one. Supposedly Fox claimed they would sell more DVDs if people could buy the second season in installments. Now to add insult to injury, hot on the heels of the release of the last half of season two, they put out this boxed set with all of both seasons! If that weren't bad enough, the "extras" are the same meager offerings from the individual sets. Nothing new here at all folks! Come on Fox, why not just put out all three seasons as one boxed set and then break it down by seasons and a "best of" DVD for the people who don't want everything. It's obvious now that you will release season three in multiple parts and then FINALLY put out the boxed set of everything. Are you saving the cast and crew interviews and commentaries for the mega box so fans will have to buy it in order to finally get a few decent extras? How about the promotional spots, documentaries, or the animated pilot? I for one am keeping my VHS copies of the series and saving my money until Fox gets its act together and puts the series out in a proper box set with the decent extras this fun show so richly deserves. Call me when you figure it out Fox!

Lost in Space was my favorite show from when I was 7 until I was in junior high. I only had a chance to watch it in reruns but that was still in the Spage Age era of the 1960's so I dreamed of being a space traveler! The sets and costumes are obviously low-budget compared to the computer-aided graphics kids are used to today. And the stories and dialogue, while very corny, are also surprisingly literate. A lot of well-known actors appeared on the show, including Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink) as an intergalactic bounty hunter and "Danny Travanty" (later known as Daniel J. Travanti) as a space hippy.

My kids loved it, especially my younger son who was about 10 when we watched the DVD's. If you catch this show before you turn 12 it will really grab you!

I'm a Lost in Space freak / fan. I love these ones. They arrived when they were supposed to. I have all of them now and I often watch them and still enjoy seeing them.

This series [TV-Series 1965-1968] is formulated on the old serial cliff-hangers. The stages are cardboard and Styrofoam. The props look like anything lying around in the ware house. From the dialog you would not realize that the actors can and are acting. As the programs progress the stories get weirder to holds your attention. There are also several notable guests including Robbie the Robot that always outsmarts "The Robot" (Bob May) The Robot's voice is Dick Tufeld.

We all know the basic story of a saboteur Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris) is too smart for his own good and his sabotage backfires from the start throwing the spaceship into who knows where with him trapped inside. What is worse is he never learns from episode to episode. Prof. John Robinson (Guy Williams) is the good guy father that is always giving one hope of being found or getting back. Maureen Robinson (June Lockhart) is the stereotypical motherly type and is caught occasionally stopping John from beating Zackary's brains out. We have mischievous kids always wandering off to discover the new trouble. And a watered down love interest between daughter Judy (Marta Kristen) and Major Don West (Mark Goddard).

How will they survive?
What strange creature or disaster will befall them this week?

Some one may have modified the media somewhat. "Oh, the pain, the pain." However we buy what we can.

Good for those under 10. Torture for those above 10
