Lost in Space (1965) Review PART 4 (LIS, 60s Hippie in Space, Planet of the Apes, Carrot Man, etc)

[@markhooper1352]

Gday Stu, great overview there mate. The Promised Planet is one of my fav eps. I love all the eps that feature the J2 in flight, hence S3 is pretty special. I can forgive the GVR episode, it made the series that much more famous. Any publicity is good publicity as they say👍

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

Thanks for watching my video. Yes, the J2 in flight episodes were special.....the childhood memories of LIS ....those afternoon screenings of the reruns....

[@markhooper1352]

@@StuartRaweakaStuOz oh yes, the arvo eps after I got home from school too 👍 We were very blessed growing up in better times I reckon. I drive a silver Jeep Commander which (you guessed it) is named Chariot 😁 my little slice of childhood haha 👍👍

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@markhooper1352 Yes, always at 5pm after school, then when colour TV came in they refused to rerun the black and white first season! Finally in 1989 I got the first season from the UK.

[@legiontheatregroup]

The episode with “The Questing Beast” was in my opinion the worst episode of Lost in Space.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

Thanks for watching. I would put Questing Beast as second worst episode of the series. There was a nice plot point where Will Robinson becomes a "cynic" but other than that it was....

[@Trevorodunne]

would Agree

[@keithbrown8814]

Yes.........very close to the worst.......pirate episode where character says "captain kidno" over and over probably the worst!!.... imo

[@chuckmaddison2924]

I think it was Penny's dancing that sold " Promised Planet"

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@chuckmaddison2924 I am sure we all see different things in The Promised Planet. Thanks for watching. Stu.

[@johnmatthews8810]

And Doctor Smith as a long haired hippie was super groovy and far out.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@johnmatthews8810 yes

[@chuckmaddison2924]

​@@johnmatthews8810 He would have fitted in with the Haight- Ashbury crowd or Sausalito . With flowers in their hair and getting mellow on lawn clippings 😇

Marcel Hillaire. Had more recognition as the junkman in his 2nd guest appearance. His 1st was he played Mr. Fanzig on the 3rd season premiere being one of thousands of frozen prisoners on a prison ship.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

Yes I agree. He appeared in the Devil's Island Time Tunnel as well.

[@JamesSimmons-d1t]

He was also a professor of French at Princeton U, Frederic OBrady. I took a course fall of 69, then a grad seminar, 2th century theater. He invited me into his home after that...the seminar was just a conversation between the two of us. Was in many movies and tv shows, from Sabrina in54 to a 2 part Get Smart in last season. I wrote the following to a French origin YouTibe channel:: " J'avais un professeur favori , Princeton University... dans films et TV, Marcel Hillaire. Advanced Grammar/Style course in 1969, then a grad school course. 20 Century French Theater, a seminar. Type sympa. Depuis ce temps, je l'ai vu 20 fois...avec Audrey Hepburn, Steve McQueen, John Wayne, Garner and Remick, Woody Allen and Joan Collins, last villain in Lost in Space, 2 Twilight zones, 2 part "Get Smart", the 4th "I Spy", 1965...his longest showing, gets the hour's spotlight as bumbling spy "Chrysanthemum" ...name of episode and 'code name' named Maximilian de Bourget. That was the year James Bond parodies began. He was a fabulist...several life stories/origins...The class only heard one... " He was a friend of Marcel Marceau and got him to McCarter theater in Princeton...I saw him several times, and was in theater, but watching my mom creak out on 2 canes when John Lithgow dropped a curtain on the mime. Saw Hal Holbrook do "Mark Twain Tonight" there, also several times...lots of Gilbert and Sullivan. His second scene in 4's "Sabrina" also had Marcel Dalio.

[@GullifordPhoyle]

I had a HORRIBLE nightmare, back around 1970. 'The Great Spock's Brain Rebellion.' Zacherle showed up and replaced Spocks' missing brain with a cauliflower.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@GullifordPhoyle love it

[@markb4976]

LIS ended up heavily damaged by all the silliness. It's a shame because there were some excellent episodes!

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@markb4976 thanks for watching my video

[@hydrolito]

Mr. Farnum was inspired by Circus owner P.T. Barnum which merged with other circuses and ended as Ringling brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

Thanks for that. I never clicked onto that. Stu

[@RobertGoldman-o2p]

Most of the Black and White early episodes of Lost In Space were very well written. When it switched to color, only Hunters Moon was well written.

[@Antares007]

Some others were pretty cool. One of my favorites is "Prisoners of Space".

[@chrisresor1893]

Could Vegetable Rebellion be Lost in Spaces "stop cutting down trees and building parking lots" statement of the late sixties? Enjoyed the review

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

Enjoyed your comment. Stu

[@thejackyjooj3861]

Good to see you in season 4 of housos again mate

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

Thanks.

[@randyacuna5643]

I love voyage even with the silly monsters and crazy plots because it was the Seaview crew who made it work for me . Voyage did not focus on one person like lost did. The Dr. Smith character became the star and he was a total jerk.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

Thanks for watching. I like Voyage, Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel and just about any Irwin Allen production....with the exception of Alice in Wonderland (1985). Thanks again.

[@JeffHogge-n1f]

I OBJECT! (NOT about your narration mate) Your perfectly excellent there my friend... BUT... I wish to make it know that (I LIKE "THE GREAT VEGETABLE REBELLION"!!! It's FUN!!! (Lost In Space kinda FUN)! It's not intended to be SOPHISTICATED! Besides, What's wrong with it? Is it any more coo-coo (cuckoo) than "Junkyard in Space"? I think not! And I love "Junkyard in Space" too. If we MUST be cruel enough to insult the intelligence of the show writer... How about "The Questing Beast"??? There's One for the laughing list! It's HORRIBLE! And really the ONLY one I can think of straight off the top of me head (That I DON'T like)! There... I've said it. But people, let's be fair, Lost in Space was a wonderful time period sci Fi show for kids. They accomplished that, and with that I'll step down off the podium now. Let's all of us Be KIND to EVERYTHING from OUR Time -Period. It's never coming back. Cheers Mate! Love your channel... Jeff

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

Great post. Great long post. You are right, LIS was a kids show, so perhaps I was a bit too harsh on Vegetable Rebellion? Glad you like my channel. Next video goes up on December 1st.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

I agree with you on Questing Beast.

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

User-- I'm with you. Vegetable Rebellion is Gone With the Wind to me. Carrot juice anyone?

[@AdmiralNelson1000]

StuOz. Thank you for another on line presence celebrating Irwin. I love Promised Planet too. Thank you for standing with it.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@AdmiralNelson1000 thank you for watching

Rest in peace, Keith Taylor (Edgar, "The Promised Planet"). 1950 - 2019

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@CyndisKrist yes, indeed.

[@keithbrown8814]

He was also in the xmas episode....1st season...the boys orphanage

@@Eric-kn4yn good point, the praying stuff was removed from the series.

Mejor serie desde RD

[@A.Edwardson]

Love Lost in Space but Season 3 was cringe worthy with the exception of the The Anti-Matter Man.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@A.Edwardson thanks for watching my video.

[@ThomasMulhall]

Hunter's Moon and the Time Merchant were excellent as well.

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@ThomasMulhall Yes, I think that previous poster was too critical by saying just one episode of season three (Anti Matter Man) was good. Year 3 Rocks!

[@keithbrown8814]

Not as cringe worthy as S2!!

[@StuartRaweakaStuOz]

@@keithbrown8814 yes, season two had some gems (Blast Off Into Space, Wild Adventure, Ghost Planet, Prisoners of Space, Golden Man, etc) but way too many lesser episodes.
