This series (TV-Series 1965-1968) is based on the old serial cliff-hangers. The stages are cardboard and Styrofoam. The props look like anything lying around in the warehouse. From the dialogue, you would not realize that the actors can and are acting. As the programs progress, the stories get weirder to hold your attention. There are also several notable guests, including Robbie the Robot, who 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), who 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 that he never learns from episode to episode. Prof. John Robinson (Guy Williams) is the good guy father who 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 new trouble. And a watered-down love interest between daughter Judy (Marta Kristen) and Major Don West (Mark Goddard).
How will they survive?

Someone may have modified the media somewhat. "Oh, the pain, the pain." However, we buy what we can.
Hint: The series was actually cancelled following its Season 3 finale. So do not start if you are looking for a wrap-up. Otherwise, it is still fun to binge.
