[@AlanCanon2222]

@@williamjones4479 I didn't like it in the 1970s because it gave me headaches. I now realize that when I was 8, the 10 year old "Older kid" was simply turning up the volume on the television to painful proportions! I never hated Lost in Space, I always loved it, but it is a boon to watch it now, and realize I don't have to have the volume turned up to painful levels. At the same time, I'm 54 and my hearing is fading.... but it's not dead yet.

Recovering from a back injury (at age 64) has given me the chance to watch all three seasons in less than a month. I can still remember watching the show in the 1960's as a young kid. We'd be outside playing and "drop everything" and run in to watch (7pm?). Some things never grow old.

i Totaly agree.

[@derangedband]

Me too! i wanted to find a nice recently recorded orchestral version of the classic themes (not like the weird dance remix thing from the 1998 movie) xD id love to hear a big cinematic arrangement on these Lost In Space themes like they did with the original star trek theme for the 2009 film. faithful to the original but with a modern production ^_^

[@MichaelsHitMusic]

Oh I agree. Fantastic on both. Well done.

[@rchaselius3923]

I guess I have to disagree. While the first season theme is well done, the 3rd season theme as played here is much too slow and just feels clumsy. It just doesn't have the light spark of the original. The Cincinnati Pops could have done better.

[@JayH7745]

I've watched this about 25 times today. I just discovered it this morning. It is absolutely amazing. I smile from ear to ear and get goose bumps hearing these wonderful Johnny Williams theme songs. Lost In Space is my all time favorite television series. The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra really brings these great theme songs alive again. Sounds totally awesome! 🤗 Added note: I just bluetooth linked my tablet to my vintage Kenwood stereo and listened to this again. Then I linked to my 7.2 channel Sony home theater system in my livingroom. Over 1000 watts with two sub woofers. These wonderful theme songs blow me away. The huge orchestra with all those instruments really sounds amazing!

I was given a tape recorder as a little boy and I taped the Lost In Space themes and other science fiction show themes. The second season theme with the countdown and then the takeoff, soaring theme sent a thrill thru me back then. I never knew John Williams created those themes! Just like the conductor the music would weirdly inspire my career. That tape player would predict my career in radio years later as a news producer and anchor! Amazing how sound can bring back such an intense emotional memory.

The 2 great opening themes aside, the incidental scary bits of dread was what I adored.

[@ChadMichaelSimon]

There's something so bold about the intro to the second theme when the countdown appears on screen. It was a great, jarring transition from the cold open to the intro. It feels like four successive shots of adrenaline to pump you up for what's to come. The first one is classic and fits the initial tone of a show titled "Lost in Space." It was more peril and intrigue than high adventure. The second theme has a heroic flair, a bit of tongue-in-cheek that fits the shows transition to color. It also begins Williams's knack for nesting multiple themes into one. Star Wars, E.T., Raiders, Superman, and Harry Potter all had a variety of themes for the the same thing - not simply the use of leitmotif. I can't pick a favorite example, but the one that leaps out to me is Superman. In his main march there are two distinct and equally indelible and iconic themes. I've always wondered which one people would sing more if you randomly asked 100 people.
