The Lost In Space DVD collection would be great for science fiction buffs out there. I love science fiction, and I was not even close to being born when this show was out, but thought I would give this a whirl. In each and every episode, the Robinson family, and the coniving, cold, selfish, yet, some how lovable Dr. Smith get in to adventure after adventure with various different life forms. The show bases its plot around the dear Robinson's being launched into space as the first family to live in space and loose their course and get stranded. Before launch, however, ornrey Dr. Smith gets caught on the ship and travels with them. Through each and every episode, they keep you engrossed in what will happen and really make you want to keep watching the next episode after also. There are also various other characters in the show, of course the fabulous robot, who in each episode, keeps getting more and more personality. I would definitley say, this is very entertaining, and very funny! I would recommend this to any one and can't wait until they come out with the second season. Only one question, why don't they ever show this on re-runs? Before this came out, I never heard of it and that is rather sad. I believe this is one of the best shows of all time!

I bought this even thought it was alot. But come on its worth it to see angela cartwright and Debbie the bloop bloop.
and dr. smith getting in trouble all the time.
And June Lockhart and Bill Mumy and the robot.

whenever I watched this show I get hooked and want to watch another episode. It was about time it came to dvd. I cant wait until season 3's out!! Then I can hav all the episodes on dvd!!

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.

I bought this the day it came out. The next couple of weeks, I watched one or two episodes every night when I got home from work. I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. It gave me something to look forward to after a long days work. Dr. Smith rules!

The 1st season was great to have. 20th century should NOT be so overly concerned about sales for this series. We've waited long enough as fans growing up. I say release it already, get it over with and satisfy the fans. There's no legal battles going on; they own it outright!,,(a la batman tv series,yeah..can anyone say comic book series legal web??)That's an identical fan frustration for some but that's an eternity at best.

20th never released Lost in Space in VHS in 'total' either through that continuity offer with Columbia house TV deal.

I'm not happy....spare me 20th Century...Not every box set makes money...it's not about that...Remember to give something back once in a while...that's entertainment......

We spent the last couple of months watch a couple of episodes per week with our eight year olds. It was so great to have the whole season lined up. The kids loved it as much as us adults did. The stories continue to be entertaining, the characters great. The special effects routinely imaginative, cheesy and hilarious in this day and age. Tempo is perfect, monsters just the right scary for younger audiences. The DVD transfer is wonderful. The BW episodes have never looked so crisp and clean. Would have liked some more "behind the scenes" and retrospectives like you get with many movie DVDs. Either way, it is a great buy and will keep a family or a old fan entertained for the entire season. It would have been fun if they had included the original commercials (as an option).

Doesnt have the impact as when you were a kid,but still a very good
show!Fox did a great job with the quality and package of this set.
Splitting the second season in two packages is a bit disappointing,
i'll buy it no matter what.Two releases will add up to the same
price anyway,i just hope they are released close together,not
several months in between!Spend your money on this set,you will be
glad you did!Lots of fun!

Just want to add my voice to all the other excellent reviews that have been posted here. The black & white episodes of LOST IN SPACE are fantastic!

The latest word from 20th Century Fox is that sales of the first season boxed set have been good but not great. Consequently they are considering releasing the second season in two parts (15 episodes each), hoping that the lower price of each package will be more appealing to DVD buyers. The tentative release date for part 1 is this September.

Whatever the date, it will be well worth waiting for.

I was close to 12 years old when the show came on the air. My parents subscribed to "TV Guide", so I remember being excited reading about LIS in the 1965 fall season preview issue. I remember watching that first episode, "Reluctant Stowaway" on our black and white big screen RCA TV. I was enthralled with the glowing Jupiter 2 taking off, the menacing Robot, the villainous Dr. Smith, the family in silver space suits floating in zero gravity and Prof. Robinson's space walk. As the series progressed, we were treated to a variety of alien visitors, monsters, disasters, predicaments and Dr. Smith's scheming to find a way back to Earth. LIS on DVD brings richness to the dramatic musical score and sharpness to each scene. The soundtrack is so clear on DVD that I actually can hear Bob May's feet shuffling as the Robot enters the Keeper's spaceship. My favorite episodes have been "Reluctant Stowaway", "The Magic Mirror", "Return from Outer Space" and "Follow the Leader". I love how the lead-in for the second season premier episode "Blast off into Space" follows the end of "Follow the Leader" (as the video version had also done). The transition from black and white to brilliant color is wonderful. I can't wait for the second season to be available on DVD.
