I remember being confused as a child to see Will making a fuss about the alien hustling Smith into a ship. Seeing it as an adult, yes, at that point the episode went completely off the rails.
Not to mention a cash register that was used by Smith in the 3rd season episode "Two Weeks In Space ." How the boys at Alpha Control foresaw the need for that is beyond me!
That was a cool science episode when I was growing up. The multi-dimensional spacecraft looks like a deep sea diving bell and the galactic character is from the deep. lol
Yes, this was where LIS was half&half! They would sometimes have an idea for a good SciFy episode, then stick comedy shtick in the middle and ruin it!! The alien that ACTUALLY DID NOT SPEAK ENGLISH, and the idea of Will becoming so smart he could not even talk to his parents was a good idea, but then became comedy when Smith becomes ancient!! (Got to admit it WAS funny, especially with Mark Goddard barely suppressing his laughter)!! But it did totally blow the previous flow of the show!
A little white duck song at the end of Change in Space 🤣🤣🤣 i hear Stevie Wonder's Travelin' Man at the end of Hapgood's episode!!!!!! I'm watching all of these a 3rd time before the last 2 I haven't seen, then I'm gonna watch your other stuff too!!! Lol thank you for all of these! I really enjoy them!
At 6:52 what Judy said is just the tip of the iceberg. Telling him to stay away from Doctor Smith would be more important than telling him not to be late for dinner.
Tomorrow on June 25, 2024 June Lockhart will turn 99 years old! Happy birthday June :-) hope your health quality of life is good so that you may have many more. Peace.
9:25 "Now, to understand me, the first thing you'll have to do is discard everything you know about energy conversion factors." "What's an energy conversion factor?" "Very good!"
Mr. B. I am not interested in The Flying Nun and all that, so I am going back and commenting on the LIS episodes that I missed the first time around. 1:16. The calliope from "The Derelict". The reactor vessel from "The Raft". The magician's space ship from "Target Earth" in season II. And so on ... 2:13. A few weeks ago it took ten days for a certain delivery service to send package to my mom. From Newton, Massachusetts, to North Andover, Massachusetts. 33 miles. During that time I visited my mom twice. I could have waited and delivered it myself. I will not tell you the name of the service, but I was FED up with them and went to their store to EXpress my disapointment. I should have used this alien delivery service. 6:46. Judy has a cousin named Joe. Penny had a cat named Princess ("Lost Civilization"). We are learning all about the Robinson family. 8:39. I used that phrase "rhetorical terms" all the time. When I want to teach a smart ass a lesson. And, notice the wood grain in the delivery ship's hull. Too cheap to paint over it, Irwin? 9:29. I see some Greek letters on the board. And the symbol for the Helmholtz function. I think. I guess Will was going to explain how to convert matter into energy in his "faster than light" universe. Hey, I used some big words! What do you think the "mit" in my name stands for? 14:30. Too late Jonathan. They already cast Charlton Heston to play Moses in "The Ten Commandments". That does look exactly like the wig and fake beard that Heston wore in the last scene of the movie. 15:34. That device blew up. But, in "Prisoners of Space", it was all fixed up and working again. 20:05. "Oh, poor Doctor Smith". A line that Judy wore out over the course of the series. 21:39. The line about "wring your neck" appears in other episodes as well. In "The Keeper", I think that Don (Part II) and the Professor (Part I) both threatened to wring Smith's neck.
@@dwashbur Mr. B! "The Invaders". "The Prisoner". The former is a good 60s Sci-Fi show. I recently binge watched it. The latter is a British 60s Sci-Fi Spy series.
O:38. I have to give Harris credit for diving all the way into the quicksand/cosmic dust pit!! He completely disappeared!!! (Not at all sure he actually meant to do that)!!
@@Robert08010 It was poorly shot/directed..it was obvious you could see Smith's stunt double in that scene...probably had to get the script moving for deadline,,didn;t reshoot it.
Mr. Irving at 14:38 I might accept that Doctor Smith looks 92, but I don't think he looks as old as 112. Even in the year 2021 it is still almost impossible to last until the age of 112.
Mr. Irving What you said between 21:20 and 21:24 is not quite true. Will Robinson likes Doctor Smith. Will Robinson stupidly likes Doctor Smith 12 times more than Audrey or Fizz like Maria in Coronation Street. Will like Doctor Smith almost as much as Soulla Nicou like her friend Georgina Georgiou when I was at College between November 1975 and June 1976. When I was a naughty boy in May 1976 and did not respect Georgina's wishes that I was not the boy for her, that made Georgina so angry she did not want to talk to me. Soulla stood by her being Georgina's best friend doing the same. You know how it is with females Mr. Irving. They stick together.
I'm not familiar with that show but Will came to like Smith gradually. Then in season 2 Smith's personality changed from the scheming spy to the comedy relief and Will became devoted to him. At least that's the pattern I see.
@@dwashbur That was not a TV show that was an episode in my life in 1976 when I was 17 and a half when I made a foolish mistake with a female called Georgina Geogiou. It was a grave mistake I made when I got the hump with her for not getting as much as I want from her. As I said I was a naughty boy in May 1976. I failed to respect the fact the I was not the boy for Georgina which resulted in her not wanting to talk to me. As you know the final decision comes from the female in question as to whether she has me Simon Shreeve as her boy-friend. Her best friend Soulla supported her decision not to talk to me. Well that is women all over. They stick together. It was a real life event. Soulla Nicou and Georgina Georgiou were who I was referring to when I said Will liked Doctor Smith as much as two girls I knew at College.
The scene where the alien wanted to know where his ship was reminded me of the scene in The Simpsons where Lisa had taken the bus andafter visiting the museum or attempting to head. Often some Romanian part of SpringfieldAnd was asking directions and they gave her very polite directions though they scream them at her and it scared the hell out of her and it sounded violence and it was hilarious the way they were being so polite at the top of their lungs. Remind me of that alien wanted to know where his ship isthe alien was yelling but what he was really saying is hello everybody it's good to be with you again I was wondering could anybody please tell me where my other ship was because I really like to know and I miss it and I also had my lunch in there was trying to warm it in the supernova Wave oven and once again the most important question, what does the majority think of my hair color?I think it makes me look heavier than I am and I already am very heavy, I weigh 225 pounds which is a lot for a girl to wear on her especially when she's only five foot seven inches.
Going back and watching for review helped me appreciate Judy, but 12 year old internal me still remembered swooning over Penny. One of the best written characters ever.

The new and improved Will should have insisted Dr Smith change his ways or be left behind.
Will turned into Sheldon.
I see Alpha Control made a wheelchair part of the Jupiter 2's necessary equipment stash.
Along with tennis rackets and wheelbarrows. Indeed!

Wow! I haven’t heard the Little White Duck song in about 45 years! Thanks for the memories 🙂
According to my parents, it was the first record I ever owned - a little 78 - and I played it to death. Glad to meet a kindred spirit!
Irving's Zoo
Come to think about it, I believe it was a yellow 78 record!
18:53. The “Will Robinson Magic” works again!!
“Curiosity killed the cat!”
15:38 Exactly what I was thinking, instead of telling him to shut up.
Dr. Smith became " SHAZAM"
Will's put-down of Judy was probably echoed several times over in the writers' room.
Indeed. Conveniently overlooking the fact that they wrote her that way...
He’s Fry!! Cool Futurama reference!
This creature appeared on a few episodes of Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea.
A little white duck song at the end of Change in Space 🤣🤣🤣 i hear Stevie Wonder's Travelin' Man at the end of Hapgood's episode!!!!!!

Thanks! And welcome to the zoo. Please feel free to stay as long as you like, we're all family here.
The alien looks like the creature from the black lagoon.

9:59 "You and I had a natural, easygoing relationship, where you did what I say and I was way smarter than you."
Knowing Will's intellect even without the crazy trip, I doubt that last part was ever true.
Like my father,a great doctor but, a crude mechanical engineer!
Er, when did Will ever do what his Dad told him?
You know,I really got into this episode.
4:10 Bob May smoking a cigarette inside the robot costume.
9:25 "Now, to understand me, the first thing you'll have to do is discard everything you know about energy conversion factors." "What's an energy conversion factor?" "Very good!"
That was my question...
I think energy conversion is based on Einstein's theory of E=mc2 Energy = mass × the speed of light squared.
If the alien ship was so dangerous, shouldnt amazingly super smart Will Robinson be smart enough not to go inside it?
Mr. B. I am not interested in The Flying Nun and all that, so I am going back and commenting on the LIS episodes that I missed the first time around. 1:16. The calliope from "The Derelict".

Not interested in the Flying Nun, eh? How about New Adventures of Superman? Tell me what you'd like to see and I'll see what I can do.
@@dwashbur Mr. B! "The Invaders". "The Prisoner". The former is a good 60s Sci-Fi show. I recently binge watched it. The latter is a British 60s Sci-Fi Spy series.
I saw a few episode of the Prisoner, don't remember Invaders. I'll see what I can find, thanks!
My mistake, I do remember The Invaders. And my library has both seasons on DVD. Still working on The Prisoner, but both are good ideas. Thanks!!!
I also have a comment and that is that I love the scene between Major West & Smith.
The Universal " Fear helmet" all purpose.
Get smart Will to get you to Alpha Centauri.!
15:15 "These explosions should fix everything!"
Yes on all counts definitely😂😂😊
At the point 12:31 why can't Will see through Doctor Smith like that always?
Notice,Judy,Penny are Not present ?
15:31 "It's going into the red zone!" "Don't worry, 78% of the time it ends up kicking a field goal."
At 17:46, There's Gilligan, now where is the Skipper?
He's battening down the hatches. Nobody told him that ship doesn't have any so he's still searching for them.
15:21 "Give me a reading." "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood--" "I meant off the instruments, Don!"
The 6th dimension? There are 3 , 4 would be time I guess, but. 6?
Dave Irving Was that Dawson Palmer playing that monster that talks in a grunting language?
Yes. He was known as the resident monster on set because any time they needed a character like this they called on him.
what treatment? maybe i should too
O:38. I have to give Harris credit for diving all the way into the quicksand/cosmic dust pit!! He completely disappeared!!! (Not at all sure he actually meant to do that)!!
I think it may have been his stunt double.
@@Richie-tn9wi I was going to say the same. The fact that they set up the scene with a cut right there seems odd unless they had to for some reason.

wile e coyote super genius
Get.me some scissors.and a razor.
Will is not 9. Will Robinson is 11.
The unaired pilot said he was 9 when they blasted off. I'm going by that.
whats this a classroom
I liked Penny when I was younger but as I got older I was more fond of the hot blonde like Judy with a ponytail and she still pretty both of them are
Going back and watching for review helped me appreciate Judy, but 12 year old internal me still remembered swooning over Penny. One of the best written characters ever.
Maybe so many episodes of material caused some unusual stupidity in the writers' room.
This show got so dumb and silly!!! Unreal God save the Queen!!!
Too bad the show got stupid. The 1st season was great.
The doc is a narcissist
