Ron S Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 I remember watching it when it was first on (I was 8 or 9 when it premiered). I think it ran for 3 seasons beginning in '64 or '65. Actually, if you want to know the exact dates, ask this guy: Quote
Randy Twizzle Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Anybody know what was on (first season, let's say) the other networks in that time slot? I'm sure we watched something that has stood the test of time a little better, but I'm drawing a blank now. According to newspaper listings from the 1965-66 season, Lost in Space was up against The Virginian and Ozzie and Harriet Quote
Jazz Kat Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Posted March 16, 2005 Lost In Space ran for three seasons, for clarification. 1965- 1968. Something LIS had was in the ship everybody fell on the same angle, when ever the ship veered off course, as opposed to Star Trek where they never really got which way they were supposed to all fall together when a crash of the ship happened.

JSngry Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 IIRC, Ozzie & crew were seriously on the banana peel, & The Virginian was pretty rock solid in the ratings (and with a 90 minute weekly show as well!). I watched LIS sometimes, but only when the old man wasn't into The Virginian. Such was life in the Dark Ages of single TV households... Quote
Jazz Kat Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Posted March 16, 2005 It's just so nostalgic to me. Its been in my family since the very beginning, and it brings back warm memories. Quote
chris olivarez Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 I would question the "unintentionally funny" part. Pretty sure that the writers and the actors were aware of the Stoopid Factor more often than not. Possibly. I could see the writers passing the bong or smoking a couple of fatties,getting really ripped then writing this stuff and falling out laughing while they were doing it. On the other hand they might not have had a clue about hysterical it really was. Quote
JSngry Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 The opening title sequence/theme song alone gives it away that this ain't no "serious" sci-fi attempt. Quote
BruceH Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 The opening title sequence/theme song alone gives it away that this ain't no "serious" sci-fi attempt. I tend to agree. The show was aimed at kids, basically. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Aw, come on, guys...next you'll tell me Batman wasn't serious... Quote
JSngry Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Or that Green Acres was rural surrealism. Quote
