LIS first season, VTTBOTS first & second. Skip the rest.<br /><br />I remember the latter seasons of those two shows. Both were stomach turners. LIS was beyond ridiculous (Dr. Smith makes Shinji Ikari look tolerable.) & Voyage degenerated into &Jayhttp://www.jaysteevee.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-71883899120593384022013-11-03T12:19:29.419-06:002013-11-03T12:19:29.419-06:00Irwin Allen was something of a spiritual ancestor ...Irwin Allen was something of a spiritual ancestor to Roland Emmerich. Both people produce features with tightly constructed openings, but their follow-throughs quickly run out of steam. If they were chess players I would say that both Allen and Emmerich had strong opening games, but that was it.<br /><br />Back in 1991 Innovation Comics produced a regretfully short-loved series which continued Michael Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808166630399508232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-89880368546287033262013-11-03T12:02:57.722-06:002013-11-03T12:02:57.722-06:00Michael,

I did like Lost in Space as a kid. If I go for LiS, I'll remember that. Oh, and Vark too on that? I'll stick with the maestros of this schtick, to be sure.<br /><br />Aardvark,<br /><br />Actually, that Russian things sounds...

The first (B&W) season was all Cold War thriller stuff, with the occasional sci fi thing thrown in (a robot probe returns from space. The probe is a spacecraft with a robot inside. Mayhem ensues. The first season two episode (when they were IN COLOR) was outstanding, with a giant whale swallowing the bathysphere with Admiral Nelson and a The Aardvarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425052822588090155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-67151651289623533722013-11-03T08:10:20.497-06:002013-11-03T08:10:20.497-06:00@Vark --- you should'a seen how fat Vaal was b...@Vark --- you should'a seen how fat Vaal was before he was put on a diet. Wow!<br /><br />Love that bit in "The Apple" where Scotty's plan to break the Enterprise free of the planet's orbit fails and he tells Kirk "I guess you'll have to fire me". Cut to Shatner who murmurs "You're fired" and then signs off. <br /><br />@Doom --- VttBotS can Michael Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808166630399508232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-84188311754572839262013-11-03T05:05:38.981-06:002013-11-03T05:05:38.981-06:00I actually now have cable.

And, unfortunately, I do find myself watching it.<br /><br />I can still watch Star Trek but I can't stomach VttBotS.
