Lost In Space Forever

The end of this 1998 documentary features a short skit with Will, Dr. Smith and the Robot on the Jupiter 2. Enjoy!

[@Tronman63]

My Lord! It's like they never left the show! Dropped back into character exactly as they did it 3 decades ago!

[@rodneymarsden3003]

Bill Mummy was involved with a band and wrote for Marvel and was in at least one other television show after Lost in Space. It is said his comic book collection dates back to at least the 1950s and is out of this world!

[@KRYPTOS_K5]

Yes. All the cast were an excellent set-up of good actors. However, Jonathan Harris was a truly outstanding Shakesperean actor -- he was a professional theatrical actor in nyc. Irwin Allen was also a formidable arts manager, set director and executive. Brasil Brasil

[@EduardoBuenoamigo]

I agree! They are such great actors! Made my day!

[@carl75ful]

The evergreen Dr Smith, the voice ,the mannerisms, and his quips about the robot just roll of his tongue. Nobody could ever replace him, i just hope there are lots of people out there who enjoyed this series as much as i did.

[@crazyal8565]

Indeed

[@veronicalemos3179]

I loved it. :)

[@merrelthorson2224]

I certainly did.

[@antoniopierry8341]

A melhor de todos os tempos. Remete diretamente à minha infância. Emocionante !!!!!! 👏👏👏

[@randyacuna5643]

The Smith character killed this once good show.

[@manofsan]

Harris' acting skills are as sharp as ever! Sounds exactly like the original show!

[@alexgataric]

His insults to the robot are spot on.

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

I met Harris when my uncle's architectural firm was contracted by him to build an addition on his CA home. The job took two months, and I worked on the project over a summer. Harris was only there for about two weeks during the construction, but I had the opportunity to talk briefly with him on several occasions. Very cordial, down-to-earth guy, and when the job was completed, he took the entire crew out for dinner. Greatt experience. I didn't know until then what a long career he's had.

[@charlesaguilar1708]

He was a great guy! Very nice,easy to talk to and a wonderful person! RIP Jonathan Harris!

[@clarkpatterson753]

Luckily for you and your project, he left "chewing the scenery" to the stage. 😁

[@blueeyes57X]

OMG...! It's like Jonathan Harris had never stopped being Dr. Smith...! GREAT acting skills...!

[@WhirlOmar]

My thoughts exactly.

[@darrelljohnson1319]

not acting now DOA

[@darrelljohnson1319]

Rr smith is eternal

[@jamestulk5111]

Harris felt the original Dr Smith was too dark and scarey for children so he reinvented the Smith character to what we know and love. Jonathan Harris IS Dr Smith.

"oh, the pain. The pain!"

MAN DR. SMITH DIDN'T MISS A BEAT AT HIS OLD AGE, HE'S GOT MAD SKILLS.

[@kurtbarlow9402]

Stepped back into character, like the show never stopped. It felt like a "lost episode" and Jonathan Harris was just in "old" makeup

I love how Johnathan and Billy are playing their parts its like they never stopped just like still being on the show! :-) Amazing people show and actors We need stuff like this nowadays probly a once in a lifetime experiance but I'm glad I was around to be a part of it

[@rodneymarsden3003]

Its funny to think how successful the show was and how much we all enjoyed it. Honestly, it was one of a number of TV shows that went against the odds yet managed to do so well in the viewer rating.

[@merrelthorson2224]

Wokism has killed off the best of TV shows, can't wait to kill off the woke, only then will these type of shows return.

[@frangiul13]

Even at that age, Jonathan Harris is Phenomenal!

[@johnnymongrel]

Jonathan Harris was amazing. There is no one like him around now, and what a pro. Got his autograph years ago, he brightened my childhood.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

Only one close was Robin Williams

[@Tmanaz480]

Amazing how Harris nailed it after all these years. It's all there in the voice. Billy has grown up so he had to reinvent his character.

[@Tazzman225]

Tmanaz480---They kept their acting abilities but the Robot's voice seemed to be a bit more transistorized.

[@mordecaiesther3591]

30 years later would put this at the year of 2000??????

[@zarabada6125]

@@mordecaiesther3591 Close. The series ended in 1968 and this was a documentary about the show from 1998. This scene was how they finished the documentary. The timing was probably intended to coincide with the 1998 movie remake (the movie made a profit but was a critical flop).

[@cha5]

Twenty years ago, Incredible. This was a beautiful little skit. :-) R.I.P. Dr Smith, We'll never forget you.

[@jaymaynes]

I didn't know this clip existed! It was wonderful! Johnathon Harris, God rest your soul.

[@jerobriggs6861]

It was the final scene in the Lost in Space documentary Lost in Space Forever. I seen it when it aired on TV years ago. And it's also been released on DVD. After seeing this scene, it kind of made me want to get the DVD.

[@monicaalcorn5077]

Totally excellent! I watched "LOST IN SPACE" during my 3rd and 4th grade years. Today Im 60 years old. Such wonderful memories. Thank-you for the hilarious clip. Dr. Smith is such a well played character. I remember wanting to be Will Robinson's best friend. Thanks for the look back. The "little" things in life mean so much. ----Cody.

[@kathysanders6183]

That was funny.. They still got it even after all those years. I grew up watching that show.

[@Ardass486]

So did I, and loved Penny very very much. She's 7 years older than me, so I'm not a perv.

[@williamkopko5775]

Best robot ever. Miss the old show nice to see them together again rip to cast members that passed on

[@mightymeatmonsta]

Oh my God, I can't stop laughing!! He is amazing! Jonathan Harris hasn't lost one beat in thirty years. It is also great to see Billy Mummy also.

[@Jonah-qx2gx]

This was the best show on TV back in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and beyond. I grew up with these characters and I am so glad I did.

[@zzzbbbooo]

It was the best show of ALL TIME, don't you mean?

[@tripsadelica]

It was the camaraderie of the excellent ensemble cast, the musical excellence of a young "Johnny Williams" and others, and the superb acting of Jonathan Harris which made this show a timeless hit. This wonderful clip had me smiling and in tears at the same time. It was as if it was 1967 all over again for me and time had taken me back to my old home...my mother singing in the kitchen, my father and I lazing in front of the old tube tv enjoying LIS. Vale Jonathan Harris et al.

[@special7217]

It's as if they never left their roles, it's so fun to watch. I also loved seeing Jonathan Harris on Bewitched too.

[@DakariKingMykan]

Rosaetta smith Did you know Bill Mumy and June Lockhart were in Bewitched too?

[@mightymeatmonsta]

And did you know that June Lockhart, Mark Goddard, Marta Kristen and Angela Cartwright were in the 1998 Lost in Space movie?? Billy Mummy and Jonathan Harris were also suppose to be in it but Jonathan Harris said he doesn't do cameo appearances and Billy Mummy, who was supposed to play the adult Will Robinson in the movie, didn't get the part at the last minute, which, in my opinion, was a BIG mistake.The voice of the robot was none other than Dick Tufeld, who did the ORIGINAL voice of the robot on the original lost in space.

[@DakariKingMykan]

*Sighs* And Poor Guy Williams couldn't be there at all... RIP

[@olo-burrows]

At least Billy Mumy grew his hair back after his stint on Minbar.

[@lindakucinski8949]

The one and only Doctor Smith! He played his roll perfectly! Will and the robot were great too! ♥️♥️♥️

[@wb3381]

I wish Guy Williams had more air time

[@desiguy55]

This is the last time where the robot, will, and DR smith interact in a skit. too bad Irwin Allen did not continue the series in the early 80's when everyone was alive and these shows were becoming very popular on rerun.

[@josephcarrington8834]

Why did it stop in the 1st place

[@desiguy55]

@@josephcarrington8834 perhaps lack of interest by the networks or the actors.

He was an icon of character and his voice inflections were and still are unsurpassed; Bravo Dr. Smith; bravo I say!

Like seeing old friends!

[@frisco21]

At the end of the scene, "Will Robinson" rolls his eyes in response to "Dr. Smith's" dramatic outburst. Funny stuff!

[@HemiVic]

I actually preferred “Lost In Space” over “Star Trek”. This scene is done brilliantly!

[@samsmith4216]

Star Trek was for the serious viewer. And in turn took itself to seriously. Kirk was a terrible actor. Lost in Space predated Star Trek by a year. It's first season was seriously written with a compassion to it. Seasons 2 and 3 were basically a Dr Smith tour de force. Camp and didn't take itself at all too seriously. I agree with you . I totally loved LIS over ST as a kid.

[@hudsony777]

@@samsmith4216Season 3 got a little more serious again. I was crushed when it was canceled.

[@mickdog7]

this show had me every week, Robot and Dr. Smith together are classic

[@66kprdwd]

So very funny and so true to the original series. 81 year old Jonathan Harris turns in a great performance, but notice how he was holding his right hand most of the time. He would leave this world in 2002 at age 87. Bob May (the guy inside robot B9) passed in 2009 and Dick Tufeld was silenced in 2012. :(

[@deksea]

After all these years, Harris has not lost his chops for this part in the least!!

[@bdavis7981]

Never knew about this, I've always loved Robot and Dr. Smith. They're the reason I kept watching.

[@keithdavidson4723]

It was genius to cast Jonathan Harris in LiS at the last minute. It would never have been the same without him and his relationship with Billy Mumy and the Robot.

[@tonyhoward7004]

Tell that to June Lockhart ! She resented the direction of the show , and the focus on those three characters , once commenting "I think they did all they could with the boy, the doctor and the robot"

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

This was Jonathan Harris' last portrayal of Dr. Zachary Smith. Sadly, he passed away just before they were to start a TV reunion movie for Lost In Space. Producer Kevin Burns did an excellant job capturing the essance of the original show here! Bill Mumy, Bob May, and Dick Tufeld's voice were great too. And of course Jonathan was the same as we've always known and loved. Thanks for the post!

[@65tosspowertrapl36]

Dr Smith was a pain when I watched this as a kid, now as an adult I would watch the show just for the Smith and Robot jibes😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheThingKing]

Its pretty amazing to note that Dick not only came back all those years later to guest star in these late 90's segments as the classic robot for these tribute specials (as well as a couple of episodes of The Simpsons as well) but he also did the voice for the Robot in the remake which was made the same year as this clip was (1998). He and the other guest stars from the series who had cameos were the only good things about the awful remake..

[@kentexas]

Short was made in 1997 for the SYFY network. It was the 30th anniversary of the date the Jupiter 2 was supposedly Lost in Space.

Dr. Smith was super funny on the series. Everyone had the right magic.

Older yet just like old times. Being a child of the 60's, Lost in Space was one of my must watch TV shows back then 😀

[@tonyhoward7004]

Refresh my memory. I seem to recall Batman was on opposite the first half hour of Lost in Space. With one TV in our house, I can remember those "what show will we watch" fights. Do you remember what was on the other network at the time ?

[@marknesselhaus4376]

@@tonyhoward7004 Heh, I don't recall having fights over the single TV but then again my dried up brain cells have a tough time remembering those long gone years. There were times I would try to flip back and forth to also watch Batman and not sure what else was on in the same time slots but there were a lot of fun shows back then, Gilligan's Island, Beverly Hillbillies and more. I sure do miss those shows but then again that is why I have a lot of them on DVD now ;-)

Wow, Jonathan Harris didn't miss a beat stepping right back into the role of Dr. Smith after all those years.

[@SallySallySallySally]

LOL. I just found this after it was posted nine years ago. RIP Jonathan Harris. It was a real coup that they cast him in this series. The role was so beneath him yet he really made it his own and his character was such a central part of the show. As others pointed out, he was in top form here even though he was 84 years old (and, sadly, died four years later.) I'm pretty sure that's Dick Tufeld doing the robot's voice and not Bob May.
