Next week, an alien bounty hunter terrorizes the space family Robinson

mysterious frozen tomb they have discovered thaws and releases a

princess.

What's this?

John,

look!

I think I'd like you to stay a while with Chavo.

Something special inside you don't want Chavo to see, amigo?

Why don't you try asking permission before you start nosing around other

people's property?

Permiso.

Next week, chilling adventure in the episode titled Castles in Space on Lost

Space on this channel.

Next week, John Robinson is inadvertently transferred into a

anti -matter world, where he is confronted by an exact counterpart image

himself. I've gone to a lot of trouble to get you here, and I need you for my

plans. But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't kill you in a split second if

got in my way.

Can't be.

It is.

Stay until you're finished, understand?

Easy, will you? I'll take it easy when we're off this planet. Now get back to

work.

You'll never get me with that chain!

Next week, Anti -Matter Man on Lost in Space, here on this channel.

It's now responding.

It's moving away from us.

Who are you?

What have you done with my husband at Major West?

Next week, weird, identical doubles threaten the Space Family Robinson.

I believe you wanted to talk to us.

Let's get him!

Do not resist. It is futile.

You know, I think you're trying to take over.

And if you know what's good for you, you'll quit trying.

You threaten me.

Just remember, underneath you are no different than I am. Now, look!

Danger! Danger!

Next week, target Earth on Lost in Space, here on this channel.

Lost in Space.

Brought to you by...

Lost in Space will continue after station identification.

Lost in Space has been brought to you

by...

You know...

Lost in Space featured some pretty incredible special effects for its day,

behind the scenes, not everything went so smoothly.

This landing of the Jupiter II, for example, would have cost Major West his

pilot's license.

And here the space pod looks as if the bloop were at the controls.

It's a good thing we got it right eventually.

Well, sort of.

Alas, poor Smitty. I knew him well.

What do you got there, robot? One of the Dr. Smith heads from Lost in Space.

Oh, yeah, that was used in The Space Destructor.

That's the episode where there were dozens of duplicate Dr.

Smith. Even I was a Dr. Smith look -alike. There is no further need for

You will be destroyed.

No! Pretty scary, huh?

Oh, the pain.

The pain.

Remember all the cool guest stars we had on Lost in Space, Robot?

I compute there was Michael Rennie from The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Al Lewis from The Munsters.

Even Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes.

Yeah, you just never knew who was going to show up.

I am called Quanto. Are we getting old, or is it just my imagination?

Speak for yourself.

I have not aged a single day.

Oh, the pain.

Remember when Robbie the Robot was a guest star on Lost in Space?

I have tried to erase him from my memory banks.

In comparison to myself, you are very ignorant.

You know, I never did trust him. His sensors always look pretty shifty. An

inferior example of cybernetic engineering.

Yeah, besides, I always thought you were groovier. Thank you, Will Robinson.

Thank you.

I remember one segment that was particularly interesting. It was called

Mars, in which I played two characters, Dr. Smith and I played Zeno, the fastest

gun in space.

And you surrender nice and peaceful.

And remember, if you don't make him think you're Zeno, I'll have you covered

zapped.

That was fun to do.

Sometimes people ask me how many Jupiter IIs we used in filming Lost in Space.

Well, there was an 18 -inch miniature used in a lot of the deep space flying

scenes. This 36 -inch model for landing and takeoff, a full -sized upper deck

used for our campsite scene, even a giant full -sized replica that was used

only two episodes. A total of four Jupiter IIs and not a bathroom on any

them.

Robot, a lot of people out there want to know just how many versions of you we

used during Lost in Space.

That is classified information.

Well, let's see. There was the full -size hero that we saw most of the time.

Affirmative. And then there was the lightweight fiberglass shell that we

for stunt scenes.

Double affirmative.

And then there were dozens of the little toy tiny robots that we used when we

were invaded.

Unfortunately, we all had to split one paycheck.

Next time you catch an episode with the SpacePod, notice the registration

number. It's actually the phone number for our studio, 20th Century Fox.

The IA was for our producer, Erwin Allen. Another reference to Erwin was

our original pilot.

In it, the Jupiter II was called the Gemini 12.

Gemini is the astrological sign for June, and Erwin's birthday was on June

I don't even want to guess how the bloop got its name.

Unlost in space, I was able to share the screen with lots of sci -fi gadgets and

other space hardware.

There was the Jupiter II, the Chariot, the Jetpack, the force field

generator, and the laser weapon.

Lucky for me, I got all the dialogue.

The robot's voice and approach was different much of the time.

Emergency! Emergency!

We did the lines, we had to stay in sync, and sometimes I would do it one

and sometimes he would do it another way.

Affirmative! Another problem that we had, there was no explicit instructions

anybody as to how to equalize the voice of the robot. So the robot's voice would

change from show to show, sometimes because of me, sometimes because of the

it was mixed by the audio guy.

One day when everybody was excused for lunch, Bill Mooney and Mark Goddard

locked me in the robot. So I lit up a cigar.

Irwin Allen comes on the set, sees smoke coming out of the robot, grabs the fire

extinguisher, comes running over to the robot, and I said, no, no, Irwin,

please, it's only me. I'm inside here. And he starts laughing.

Became a good joke.

My favorite it's always been junkyard thing. I love the scene between the

and Will Robinson when the robot is saying goodbye you must leave now my

go and And do not look back

The touchiness of the

scene it was it was really

I always had my guitar with me on the set and there was this campfire scene

we were filming and Erwin came up to me and he said, why don't you play

something on your guitar?

So I picked Greensleeves, which turned out to be, and I didn't even realize it,

the theme song from Lassie.

That's right. So I'm sitting there around this alien world campfire playing

theme song to Lassie while June Lockhart is sitting there looking at me like,

why are you doing this?

My favorite episode, Return to Earth, when Will went back to Earth to get some

carbon tetrachloride for the food purifier, I believe is what he was there

do.

I made it!

I made it!

I'm on Earth!

I like that show a lot because, I mean, Will actually did get back to Earth, you

know, and accomplish something to save everybody. That was the first time he

anything that really saved their lives.

The alliteratives that I use with the robot are a source still of great joy to

me. You blithering bumpkin! You lugubrious laggard! You cowardly clump!

monstrous booby! You ungrateful underling!

Blithering bumpkin! Silence, you cackling coward!

Oh, how marvellous. I used to stay up all night dreaming them up.

And I use them all.

And they'd all work because I get letters about it still.

One of our sets was right next to a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea set. And

there would be days when some Borg stuntman in a wetsuit would go rampaging

through the sea view on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. And the next day, the

same guy would be back in the same suit, only they'd spring him green, and he'd

come rampaging through, you know, some unknown alien world on Lost in Space.

My favorite set on Lost in Space was the Jupiter II. It had all sorts of working

lights and gadgets.

But what most people don't know is that the upper and the lower decks of the

ship were actually on two different sound stages.

That means that when we would take the elevator, the director would call cut.

And then we would continue the scene all the way across the fox lot on another

sound stage, sometimes days later.

That does not compute.

That does not compute.

My favorite show was called The Anti -Matter Man because I was able to play a

dark side of me.

You know, the yin -yang, black and white? You know, it was Don West, and

was the other side of Don West.

He's your duplicate, all right.

When do we get mine?

You know, I could be vicious.

You know what I mean?

So I could... Oh, I felt good, man. You know, when I was gone, that robot, I was

going to kill everything. That was great.

The best one that I liked that I did was the attack of the monster plant.

Do you like some salad, Judy?

No, thank you.

Oh, it's your favorite. I don't want any salad.

Judy.

Mother. I had an opportunity to do some acting, do something with what I felt

I had been trained for.

You know what? After all these years, you look really good.

It is amazing what a coat of paint and a little 40 -weight oil can do.

Did you ever miss the good old days? You know, hurtling through space aboard the

Jupiter II?

Space travel I missed.

Dr. Smith, I do not.

I heard that. Mind your manners and you'll keep your things.

I can't believe it. It's been 30 years and you guys are still at it. Well, he

started it. Did not. Did too.

Indeed.
