yes. Imagination was the key. I was 8 when it premieured and became a science nut. later earning degrees in engineering and math, an Air Force captain and still working on space projects
Tears in my eyes. This show meant so much to me growing up. And to find out all these people turned out to be such nice, friendly, funny normal people. It makes me so happy.
God bless her. I am old enough to remember her on Lassie. My cruel father used to sing "Lassie, you're a dumb dog" when that show's theme played. He thought that was funny.
She was born June 25, 1925 in New York City. It is now 2024, she's still alive and will be 99 y.o. on June 25. Cheers to her! I think she'll make it to 100! Less than 1% of Americans live to be 100.
I agree. And the weird thing is, originally, Batman and Lost In Space were on opposite one another on Wednesday nights on ABC and CBS, respectfully. Batman of course was also on Thursday nights as well.
Nothing supersedes the original Lost In Space. New films on this will only mar the natural beauty of this wonderful film masterpiece to be a legend forever.
I was close to the age of Billy Mumy and always fantasized. Being inactive space suit, flying the Jupiter 2, among other spaceship fantasies. I'm 56 and still fantasize about that great program!
Well.....Bill Mumy is about 10 years older than you, but I agree with your point. It was my favorite show for the first year or two it was on. I turned 9 the September it premiered.
Bill Mumy and I share the exact birthday so whenever I see clips of him I know exactly how old we were. We will be 70 this Feb 1st and I loved the show a lot growing up and always had a crush on Penny.
Man, I loved this show. I had such a crush on Penny and I envied Will for having his own robot. I even made a robot costume for Halloween one year, even wired up a power pack.
You posted your comment 2 months ago. How many times have you watched the show since then? I have seen this video before and just watched it again today. It's been 4 weeks since I last watched the show, but after watching this video, I'm ready to watch it again!
Nice to see. My wife and I had drinks with Jonathan at his hotel in Boston on one of those nights. Miss him very much! Thanks for posting these videos.
Many years ago I worked at a high end restaurant. The work was fast paced, and exciting. One afternoon I was doing touch up work in the dining room. The owner came from the kitchen looking for me. He said his brother in law was in town from Los Angeles, and he wanted me to wait on him and his parents when they arrived. I asked “what was he in town for?”. He answered “ he’s in town for a comic book convention, he used to be a child actor” “he was in some space show”. I almost passed out, I asked “ you mean Billy Mumy from “Lost in Space”?”.yes, his name is Bill Mumy, do you know of him?”. I said of course, I wanted to BE Will Robinson when I was a little boy, but my mom wouldn’t let me watch them show. He said “then I know you’ll take good care of him. I suddenly became a nervous wreck. I had met many celebrities at work, had always kept my cool, never asked for an autograph. But my childhood hero was coming in and I had to keep it together. The party arrived, I couldn’t believe I was shaking his hand and saying hello. Bill was actually talking to me and calling me by my name. I was charmed by him, he was so kind. The next several years, he dropped in from time to time. He always asked for me to wait on him. Once he asked if I ever saw the show anymore. I told him, sadly no. I didn’t have cable back then and hadn’t seen the show in years. Several months later a package was in the mail. It was from California. Inside was an 8x10 autographed glossy of him, autographed “have fun John, Billy Mumy”, included was a VHS tape with a label in Bills handwriting, the titles to my favorite episode, his favorite episode, and the pilot. I was so thrilled that he remembered which was my favorite episode, and took the time to send me this special gift. It was more than kind, it was thoughtful. I actually still have the tape. Several months later, he was in town again, I waved when he came in, and thanked him so much again for the gift he sent. He offered me something else I couldn’t take him up on. He was in town for another comic book convention and asked if I had plans Sunday, which I did. He wanted me to come his hotel, the Ritz Carleton in Dearborn. He said we could have lunch and he had a limousine to take to the show where I could hang out and watch his talk at the show. Of course my boss wouldn’t let me go, I was disappointed. But it was so sweet of him to invite me. Another time, the owners mother was visiting Bill and her daughter Eileen in California. When she returned she said she ha a story only I would appreciate. One evening when she was with her grandson while Bill & Eileen was out the phone rang. She picked up the phone and some woman asked to speak to Billy. She told the woman he was out and could she take a message. It was June Lockhart and could he please phone her back. She asked how much I’d be willing to pay for her number. We both laughed about that one. I worked at the restaurant 13 years and just could never get over knowing him, and him remembering my name.those were fun years.
I got in trouble in 4th grade for leaving school early so I could watch the Lost in Space. Loved the show. For me it was the "Will and Dr Smith get in trouble" show. :-)
Marta is stunning, Billy and Mark are cool. Jonathan holding court like I suspected, Angela so pleasant and down to earth and June was so different from the moms she was great at playing. Heard she loves rock n roll.
I did too but not there I met them at a Hollywood party because of my step dad Tony Perez he's also an actor he played in Scarface and Hill Street blues as Tony
I had the good fortune to attend this event, and I also was able to attend an autograph event in Worcester where Bill Mumy signed autographs at a comic book store. Good times, great memories! Thank you all!
My wife and were at this very event. What a wonderful time and such a fun cast! This was in a huge auditorium that was hosting a collectables show with hundreds of dealer tables, and just to the left of the Lost and Space area was another area/stage that had Buffalo Bob with Howdy Doody, and we all got treated to a live Howdy Doody Show!
1990 was when Hollywood should have completed the series with a made for tv movie with this cast, letting the Robinsons either come home or make it to Alpha Centauri.
Yes, this made me cry. We just lost our mom in september and my sister and I loved this show. We always had to make or mom race home if we were out so we could watch the show. I wish I was young again and could go back to that time.
I love this so much! These folks were all so great together. I saw some of them in an episode of "Celebrity Family Fued", a RU-vid video. I don't know when that show actually aired. It was June, Angela and Marta, along with Bobby May and Guy Williams. It was great. They played against Gilligan's Island family, Hawaiian Eye family and Batman family. :)
Hat tip to the one who thought it was worth recording and then actually turned up with a video camera. We don't have these precious memories if they aren't recorded by someone with sufficient foresight.
I was in love with Penny Robinson as a child. Penny doesn't know it so don't tell her but I also loved Mary Ann Summers and Wednesday Adams. But that was just a part of being a child in the 60s The world was different back then.
My maternal grandparents had a tv like this, that I watched "Lost In Space" on, WLVI(then)in Boston, I live in "West"ern Mass. I love this show, especially the Robot B9!
They made a Lost in Space movie since then and another TV series. June Lockhart, Mark Godard, Marta Kristen and Angela Cartwright had small parts in the movie.
It’s amazing that after the popularity of Star Wars and emergence of the Star Trek movies no-one considered Lost in Space movies while the cast were all still young and available. Sad that the opportunity was missed.
Harris is awfully cheeky! Gotta love it! Saw a whole bunch of RU-vid videos he did where he was much more demure & reserved & introspective. He discussed many things, the show, his friendship with Redd Foxx, etc. Nice thoughtful man when he’s quiet. I was waiting for someone to ask Marta about the nudes she wound up doing but thank God they probably screened those kinds of questions out. Funny to hear about Bloop Bloop, but c’mon! That’s kinda rough! Take all her teeth out? Ever hear of the ASPCA? Where were they when this happened? Angela & Marta & June still look stunning. Goddard has aged well, he looks almost the same! Sounds the same too! Time has been good to him. Harris is pip. I’m just bummed we didn’t hear from or see the real guy behind the robot! Good video though.
I know this video is probably old but I want to give you guys kudos very instrumental when I was a child I suffer from several situations in life where I have received more than one traumatic brain injury and I enjoyed this it brings back memories of those things that I no longer have but they didn't say life wasn't going to change LOL
Lost in Space I would watch it on TV when it would come on now I have the complete collection Isle of Lost in Space I wish they would have her Union of the Robin's family,😁💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
I consider myself fortunate to have met at least two of the cast members: Mark Goddard and Marta Kristen. They are two wonderful people. Sadly, I never got to meet Jonathan Harris. He would have been very interesting to have met. I almost got to talk to Bill Mumy but he turned us down for an interview on our podcast. But that's ok, he probably a very busy guy. God bless this whole cast!
When Billy said, "It's a good thing. It's a real good thing", I was wondering if anyone else would notice that was from the Twilight Zone. I think that was one of the best Twilight Zone episodes.
He sure did he was my first crush, in 1975 was the first time I ever saw lost in space and at ten I fell hard for him. Will Robinson was definitely my favorite character
