It takes me back to the days I used to rush home from elementary school to see Lost in Space re-runs. It's campy, yes, but I love it!

Season one of Lost in space was definitely the best. It's vintage science-fiction filmed in black and white. LIS started out as a serious science-fiction show. The show's first season was the best of the three seasons it was on the air; Very good for its day. Too bad they went off the track, though, turning it into a sometimes silly cross between a science-fiction show and a sitcom. But, I highly recommend season one for any science-fiction fan who doesn't mind a look at sci-fi in its early days.

This show was ahead of its time in every way except one. It debuted in dreary black and white. This fit the genre for westerns, but 60s sci-fi was too campy for a lack of color. And for a show with a big budget that ultimately lead to its cancellation, CBS should have rushed the color age. A B&W debut detracted from then state of the art special effects.
However, the reason why LIS still stays with fans is not for the typical kneejerk nostalgia associated with generations brought up on it. No, this goofy show stuck with you because of elements overlooked that made many oldie TV series head and shoulders above modern fare---the soundtracks. None other than a legend of audio magic, John Williams, was LIS composer.
This show, burdened by a weak unaired pilot which was split into several later episodes, had such a built-in audio aura that the music was like the uncredited star of the show. It was its own character support for each and every scene, be it conflict, amusement, horror or resolution. So its shelf life was always recycled with familiar mood and atmosphere.
The 1st season, with too many alien creatures manned in cheap suits, is not the best despite popular consensus. Space camp was at a height with many monsters, space ships and plot devices poorly developed. LIS didn't come into its own until the 2nd & 3rd seasons when Dr. Smith, Will, the Robot and weekly alien guest star imagination merged with living color.
I never saw LIS in color as a kid. Finally doing so at the end of the 1st season made me gush sentimental. Although its sound is what won me over, that quality alone was and is better than modern HD digital color shows that often lack colorful audio. LIS endures as a prime example why oldie TV was classic. Because regardless of visuals, it sounded better.

Was very pleased with the product. Came alot earlier than I expected and was in great shape. I had ordered earlier from another sellar and when I got it the first disk was missing,....but they refunded my money and by then Amazon had the series and it was even a little cheaper. This one was new and the other used...and though it was in good shape..the first one from someone else was missing a DVD and this one was brand new...and cheaper. We are very very pleased.

I have long been a huge fan of Lost In Space, and now I have converted my collection from VHS to DVD.
