- Lost
in Space - The Complete First Season - Lost in Space began
life in 1965 as a science-fiction take on The Swiss Family
Robinson. Produced by Irwin Allen, then in the midst of his
run of spectacular-but-childish TV sci-fi (before he became
the master of big-screen disaster movies), the show featured
a family of all-American space colonists cast away on a mysterious
planet. Gradually the whole thing devolved into a silly (but
sometimes fun) exercise in childish camp. This boxed set includes
all 29 black and white episodes from the first season (with
a burst of color at the end of the last show--a foretaste
of the garish look of the remaining two seasons) along with
"No Place to Hide," the expensive pilot show that
sold the series but prompted Allen to revamp the whole premise
in comic mode when network execs responded best to its unintended
humor.
