Mark Goddard has said several times in interviews that he could only get through the scenes with Mr. Carrot by NOT looking at Stanley Adams.
I personally found the episode about the Hippie Planet where Smith was frugging in a mod go-go wig wearing an absurd medallion like something Hugh Hefner would have sported on "Playboy after dark" to be more ridiculous.
All that to one side, the first season of LOST IN SPACE is on a completely different plane with that beautiful black and white photography. And some genuinely terrifying moments.
Back in 2015, a "Blu Ray" set of this series was issued where the same thing was done as happened to the 1991 DS, with tops and bottoms of the frame being cut off to fit today's preferred 16 x 9 screens. I read in a couple of reviews, however, that the original "full screen" versions of the shows were included.
Angela Cartwright stated it was her worst one. Even though a teenager (she was 16-or-so when it was filmed), she absolutely loathed rock-and-roll music. She had never danced to it, and in the scenes where she had to do a "groovy" dance on a pool table, she didn't have a clue on how to move and somehow just had to come up with it.
playing not only Dr. John Robinson, but his own evil self who crossed over from a parallel dimension
12:00AM Netflix | Lost in Space Series premiere (all 10 episodes): This reimagining follows the Robinson family, which is on a mission to establish a new colony in space when their ship is unexpectedly pulled off course; Toby Stephens (Black Sails) and Molly Parker (Deadwood) star. |
It's nice to know that some things can still be a surprise!!
