Lost in Space HD Restoration Test 

Good! Now we can see Penny better!

I have watched this a dozen times and I am still mighty impressed Kevin! I'll be among the first to purchase the set!

Kevin, it's nice to know you are continuing to properly preserve this wonderful, iconinc show! I am in such support of all your wonderful efforts throughout the years. The clarity is amazing! The full frame ratio looks great! I am looking forward to more news on this project. Thank you, for doing this, and for sharing too!

Fantastic ! This would be an absolute must have ! This series is beloved by more than just science fiction fans.It has become an iconic show for anyone who loves good old fashioned good clean fun TV !

That is incredible work. Tech brought to good use. A+ for this restoration.

Please, bring it back soon. We love Lost n The Space in Brazil.

Thank you Kevin for bringing my childhood into sharp focus!

Simply amazing. To own this classic TV show at movie quality sight and sound would be a no brainer. As much as I'm a purist, I feel the widescreen version is my favorite as it would appear it was originally filmed in that manner and cropped for TV. Love it. Folks who were kids in the 60's and 70's are those now with the disposable incomes. Jump on board Fox, there's money to be made. It looks ready to roll. Cha-Ching!!!!

Will be a pride to Brazilian fans have in their homes that classic 60s. I hope to launch in the outside world and here in Brazil with the "Voice Classica AIC which is the same released on DVD in 2004/2005. Stayed in the crowd for this world premiere. Already looking forward to this project since its Blu-ray news. I hope that the 50 years of the series is celebrating this same way. Att Hermes Colecionador (Brasil).

Extraordinary!! I watch this Restoration Test every day. I eagerly await the release of LIS in Brazil with original dubbing!

The HD is so sharp and clear! I want it!

Great! I hope I have this series in my collection as soon as possible.

Looks amazing, had no idea it could be restored this well

Awesome! I'd buy all three series again if they were released in HD. This is superb work!

A well deserved tribute to the masterwork that is "Lost in Space".

Awesome!!!... good childhood memories...i'll wait for this release

FANTASTIC! ON PAR WITH VOYAGE, TIME TUNNEL AND GIANTS! I WILL BE BUYING THE COMPLETE SERIES AGAIN AND RELEGATING THE OLD PRINTS TO THE BACK ROOM....TIME TO START SAVING...

This is awesome guys, I hope you go through with restoring this show, I've been waiting several years for a possible blu-ray conversion. This show still has a strong fanbase and should be resurrected.

The difference is amazing. Picture is so clear, clean and crisp it's like you are in the same room. I loved this show as a kid and would definitely break down and buy the entire series if it was released once remastered on bluray. You can call us old for remembering this show but that also means we have the cash to buy this if released. *winks*

Nice work! The color correction and black and white shade correction is awesome. The original masters were a little rough after 50 years.

I feel like a kid in a candy store! Getting this in high def will be awesome!!!! Hopefully this will come with new interviews and commentaries. Would love to see never before seen behind the scenes footage and bloopers if they can be found or still exist. Especially when poor Bob fell over in the Robot! His "Olympic 10" as he described it. Thank you so much to all that is making this possible!!!!

Beautiful remastering job! Blu-ray would be awesome.

Simply gorgeous. We must have this on blu-ray. I love the widescreen and increased clarity. MUUUUST HAVE!

Awesome-I look forward to this project.

Can I say thank you, as a fan since 1965, for shepherding the legacy of the show we love so much, in so many wonderful areas, when few others would grant LIS (and other Irwin Allen shows) any respect whatsoever. If there's anything you need from the fans, speaking for myself, you've got it. The new transfers will be a thrill. :)

During restoration, we also found :20 seconds of picture and audio that has been missing from the "cliffhanger" for "The Golden Man" episode that came at the end of "The Dream Monster." It was lost in the 1980s and features Penny picking flowers with Dr. Smith.

I have never seen myself looking so impressive !

Absolutelly fantastic.I hope that this historic collectionwill be available in Brazil as soon as possible. I am pretty sure that will be a huge sucess.

There are millions of fans in Brazil and we love to get this version but with the classical AIC voices in portuguese (same of DVD 2004/2005).

Absolutely awesome!

Thanks for posting these incredible transfers! This is something fans have wanted for so long. I am surprised how good it looks in 1.78:1. I am worried about cropping though and I always prefer OAR. It would be nice to have both versions, but if I selected one I would go with 4:3. The 50th anniversary is two years out - I hope we seen these sooner. Thanks again.

Finally,a classic release for today's televisions. The new aspect ratio looks flawless and the HD mastering is superb. Bring it on....!!!!!!

Super restoration! Would love to see this in 1:78 on blu-ray. Would purchase without question. Thanks for working to make this happen Kevin!

Cannot WAIT to buy this entire series on Blu-ray (I already have the DVDs). These clips are what I've been dreaming about for years! WOW!

I as a hardcore fan of the series would love this to be done because the series marked my childhood and certainly marked the childhood of children hoje.Aqui in Brazil and elsewhere in the world, stressing that leave the same voice acting that was so successful in my time. yes not to forget the Brazil fan base here is very great, thank you all will be waiting anxious for the return of the series.

I totally agree! This will give us the chance to see a modern, full screen version like we've never seen before.

Wow, the clarity of the remastered version is absolutely fantastic. Better than brand new when aired on CBS on Wednesday nights at 7:30 P.M. prime time back in the 60's. I can't wait to buy the Blue-ray version of Lost In Space.

Purchased LIS on VHS. Currently own it on DVD. I'm looking forward to buying this enhanced version. Thanks for keeping LIS alive!

Now all we need is 16:9 and a bluray release. Hopefully 24/192 audio. Thanks you guys so much! Hope it gets released.

Fantastic....I will purchase 2 of these box sets if released.

Fantastic, no other classic tv series could deserve this honor transfered to 4K, fantastic! I prefer widescreen version and hope here in Brazil original brazilian dubbed be part of this project! Lost in Space, the classic cult sci fi tv series! World loves original Lost in Space tv!

I think the restoration looks awesome! I'll be getting this when it comes out either on DVD or BluRay or both...It would be nice to have the whole series in a box set instead of having to wait for individual season sets. But Job Well Done, Mr Burns!

This is fantastic! I like the 16:9 full screen aspect ratio, and would buy it today on Blue Ray! So hope there will be a lot of new (and old) bonus features (cast commentary, Lost in Space Forever, the original unaired pilot, behind the scenes footage, bloopers, etc.). What a great way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary!

It's amazing to me that someone was able to touch up programming that was originally intended for NTSC broadcast television 50 years ago, and do it so well!

Lost in Space is awesome in this format!! Simply spectacular. I watch the series from the 60s here in Brazil. It would be wonderful to see LIS here in Brazil with original dubbing!

Can't wait for the BD release, looks fantastic

Oh, And also; I am loving being able to see the extra screen on each side in 16.9! I've never seen the extra in the old aspect. Like watching a whole new episode.

This would be a day of release purchase for me providing it was available on Blu Ray in 4:3 aspect ratio and a region free/region 2 release was available. The restored image looks incredible so thanks for all the hard work to all those responsible. Bonus materials would be the icing on the cake...if possible.

Kevin, thanks also for including the Hanna-Barbera "Lost in Space" cartoon as well. :-)

I love this! Please use the 35mm master camera negatives for the Blue Ray transfers. Put the wide screen and original aspect ratio on the Blue Ray set. For the sound, use the master 3 tracks to create a beautiful 5.1 mix. It will be Glorious ! And you will see millions!

Incredible !!! Lets Do It !

OMG!!! I've been waiting for this to be remastered into HD Bluray!! It looks absolutely incredible!! Clear, crisp detail and the wide screen version just makes it all the better. More adjusted to today's TVs. Pleeeeeeese make this available for us to buy!! I'll take 2! I always buy a backup for my favorite shows. Maybe some cool cast commentaries? Lost footage? Bloopers? New cast interviews? Secrets of the Robot? Love to see our favorite shows given the HD treatment!!!

Great Idea, I vote for full screen on Blu-Ray. Absolutly fantastic!!

The Brazilians will like very much to have Lost in Space with this wonderful format and original dubbing. We have a great quantiade faithful fan of Lost in Space.

I would definitely purchase the entire series again for this.

This is Awesome! Make it so!

I would buy the blu ray for sure would be like watching the show all new again amazing the detail that is coming out in the remastered test.

Wow, that's amazing.

wow the remastered quality is so good, you can almost smell the people. :)

Blu Ray please. I love love love love love this show. I can replay watch this so many times never bored 1 yet.

Awesome! YES PLEASE!

I've dreamt about this for years but with an added thrill: vintage Tonight Show or other talk show appearances by cast members. You know they were most certainly on the promotion circuit back when LIS was on. Wouldn't it be great to be able to see Jonathan Harris, June, or Guy in a relaxed setting?! What a treat it would be.

Full frame. Fantastic. Show.

Looks fantastic! I will buy the complete series on Blu-ray if and when the set(s) are issued.

Very impressive. They need to get this released on bluray. I will gladly add this to my collection

This is fantastic news! Not just that the series might be re-released for the 50th anniversary of the premier, but even more important is that it has been preserved in case God forbid something ever happens to the original negatives. I first viewed the video on my iphone and could see the differences. But after watching on a high def monitor I was blown away by the improvement. I really hope that more soundtrack cds will also be released in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the show.

As for the format concerns, the entire series was transferred from the 35mm fine grain master positives (in the case of the B&W episodes) or the CRIs (seasons 2 & 3). Everything was first mastered in reverse anamorphic keeping every slate, countdown, bumper and logo (including CBS logos) intact. These were scanned in such a way as to capture every bit of information- even cables, lights and microphones. Then we used this master to create both 1.33 and 1.78 versions.

Looks fantastic and I would buy the complete set. I have never bought the series on DVD but this I would. I like the full frame aspect ratio.

Love the remastering! Love the wide screen, also. I want this in wide screen BluRay. Would also like bonus material, and any scenes that were left out of the original dvd release. I would buy this in BluRay right now!

"Return From Outer Space" will be complete and totally restored. Even though the mid episode musical bumpers were transferred, we deleted them from the final versions because (believe it or not) most people complain that they interrupt the flow of the episode when it's on DVD. We are, however, leaving in the "Stay Tuned" bumpers at the end of all Season Three episodes, as they lead right into the Trailers.

Excellent!!!!

This is great! I want Lost in Space in High Definition in Brazil and with the original dubbing!!

I'm very happy! Please, we want to see it here in Brazil too!

Incredible .. I am on board !!

Wow! that cool reliving my childhood through the series lost in space in high definition. I am very anxious waiting for the series. (Nossa! que legal reviver a minha infância através da série perdidos no espaço em alta definição. Estou aguardando bastante ansioso pela série.)

Excelente, Fantástico.

looks excellent..great job with the restoration. Would love to see it released on BD at 16X9

Hi, Idail jr. here, from Brazil... I really want this series released in HD down here; with the excellent work done when this classic was released in DVD years ago, expect no less for a BD release, which should, obviously, include our language (portuguese) dubbing, simply because it is also a classic for us. Can't wait for it.

WOW! Looks fantastic!!! Love the full frame, too...who knows what we might get to see with the wider aspect ratio?! Just hope if it's done in Blu-Ray, that they offer a separate music track! (Yes, I know, they released several CD's with original music, but the CD version of the score in "The Reluctant Stowaway" has a slower tempo and slightly different orchestrations from the screen version!) Hope this HD release comes about for real!

Thanks for this Kevin! I have to agree Blu Ray is the only way for this sir!

Absolutely brilliant I would buy a set also

I'm all in. I'd love to be able to buy remastered version of all episodes.

I can't believe how great the show looks after being treated as it should have been done long ago. Please release the whole package in blue ray 16:9 format - absolutely fantastic - I would not hesitate at all to get the whole set over again. Let's see, I have had the show on super 8 recorded off the TV, VHS, and DVD - this really needs to be released for the 50th anniversary!!!! Whatever it takes - this needs to be done!!!!!!!!!!! And B9Greg agrees with me.

A well deserved restoration for Lost in Space. I hope it will also be released in Brasil in Blu-ray with the 1.78:1 AR. Here the DVD boxes, including the original brazllian portuguese tracks, were a huge hit.

I am still holding out for an Irwin Allen channel. All of his works need to be remastered. don't stop here.

Both aspect ratios included would be awesome, but if only one is to releasesed, then let that be the original since the full frame actually has less of the original image visible.

Wow! Amazingwondering if the "Lost In Space is brought to you by" with the product is shown in the DVD bonus. mush like they do with the Twilight Zone DVd's. I wish you would have left the bumper music in that proceeds the second half of the show. Hope all the bumpers are put in as a bonus on the DVD. I'm very happy that something is being done with this show, after the terrible transfers of the third season DVD's a few years back. The transfers look great. I love the wide screen ratio.Bravo!

It looks good. Oh, the pain, the pain.... Never fear, Mark is here, I mean Smith.

It's really great to see every little bit from the negative. Thanks to Kevin Burns

wow, that is beautiful.... wish it was available.

In Brazil, there 's a lot of people that grew up watching the amazing adventures of Will Robinson, Doc Smith and the Robot, and dreaming with space voyages. Please, remember us. I agree with marco1962a that the original brazilian portuguese dubbing from AIC is great. The 1.78:1 looks very impressive.

Oh My Goodness! What a treat to see LIS in Widescreen! Widescreen in Blu-ray please! I will definitely buy it!

Looks like it is time for our household to finally get a HD TV set. Want to be able to see Lost in Space (and certainly a certain "Guy") to the best advantage. Thanks to the powers that be for getting this process started, and looking forward to seeing the final product on cable TV, and also to have the opportunity to get them on DVD or Blu-ray.

I live in England, UK and have all 3 box sets of L.I.S. and would be delighted to buy them again in HD full frame. From the above clips it will be worth every £. I agree with a 5.1 surround sound to match the brilliant HD pictures. I was disappointed with the original DVD box sets quality on many episodes eg S2 'The Golden Man' (my favorite story) but do NOT regret buying them. That said, the above gives a whole new life to L.I.S and I hope this becomes a HD reality soon - thank you for doing this and continued success with the project. Please dont keep us waiting too long though, I was 14 when L.I.S was aired on UK TV back in the late 60 / early 70's !!!!

Brilliant!

4... I was gutted with the missing cues from the soundtrack releases. to have them and in stereo. WOW!!!!. I love the LIS / Irwin Allen show OSTs and dreamed of hearing them pure. I remember in the mid 80's ringing around the world to find out if the original OST masters existed and was actually given their location. It was me back in 1991 who passed that info on to Neil Norman and within a few short years my wishes for Irwin Allen soundtrack albums were granted....

By the way... the 85 hours refers to the 83 original episodes PLUS the two one-hour versions of the "un-aired" Pilot ("No Place to Hide"). Those have ALSO been remastered -- along with the Hanna-Barbera "Lost in Space" cartoon from the 70s. As for the aspect ratio and other issues, we planned to distribute the 1:78 versions to cable television and VOD but are still debating what version is best on DVD or blu-ray. (And, "yes"... all Season Three trailers will be attached to the episodes!)

Sensational news! I would really like this version restored blu-ray was released here in Brazil, including respecting the original dubbing in Portuguese.

I am very excited by the new 1.78.1 widescreen ratio. It's like seeing it all brand new.

2.....i had yesterday emailed Revelation films in UK who did these to see if they were doing LIS. No was the reply and they told me the original films were lost meaning no HD, ever. I didn't accept this, google search and within 5 mins i found your HD test and the news I have been waiting so long to see. Reading your posts I was stoked to learn so much more. I am a purist and don't want to miss out on anything so want to see the 4 x 3 with nothing cut away.....
