Any Lost in Space TV show fans ?

Always loved the show, still have never seen the pilot. Guess I'll eventually have to break down and get the DVD.

The Pilot was quite odd. Doctor Smith wasn't the strange and wacky character he ended up being. He was more evil and sociopathic. Test audiences must not have liked him too much.

Actually, Jonathan Harris explained that on the documentary--
The series had originally been envisioned as a drama serial, and Harris realized that as the villain, he'd have to come up with some reason to get the audience to like him, before they might eventually start wondering why the other characters didn't just push Smith out of the airlock and move on to a new story arc...

you can watch it free online. I just watched the pilot episode not too long ago. It was pretty interesting.

That makes alot of sense. I think Oldman did a good job playing Smith, but he chose to continue to play him as a sociopath, and therefore I think the audience may have been put off by that.

Great Show I grew up watching it I think it might be quite a while if ever to come to Blu But you never know
