Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

Originally conceived as "The Swiss Family Robinson In Space" and airing from 1965 to 1968 this light-hearted adventure is a true sci-fi classic with an enormous following of devoted fans. Relive the fun and excitement in this specially selected series of the very best episodes. Volume 7: The Keeper Part 1. The Robinsons make the acquaintance of "The Keeper" (Michael Rennie) -- a member of an advanced alien race who collects specimens of creatures from around the galaxy. Urbane and courteous, the Robinsons accept him as a friend -- until they Learn that he intends to include Will and Penny in his collection. The family makes it clear the children will never be surrendered, but it seems that The Keeper won't take no for an answer.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best in the series, April 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lost in Space, Vol. 7 - The Heeper, part 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Great action and entertainment for the whole family- some good lessons illustrated as well.. The array of creatures that are collected aboard the keeper's space ship is very tame as compared to the 90s shows, but it is effective.

This review is from: Lost in Space, Vol. 7 - The Heeper, part 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Featuring a great guest star turn from Michael Rennie (memorable as "Klaatu" in the classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still"), "The Keeper" is the best episode of the entire three-year-run of the show. All the characters get great attention in this two-parter that features great camerawork, special effects, and use the music composed by John Williams for the pilot episode. After such a stellar episode, it is a shame that the "powers-that-be" decided to devote the second and third seasons on camp that would ultimately result in the show's demise.
