I personally enjoy the Great Vegetable Rebellion. It's so fanciful and I particularly love the scenes where Dr Smith is being turned into a celery stalk and recites the most absurd dialogue with his usual scenery-chewing verve.
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. It's only noticeable in one scene, as I recall. I was amazed at how exquisite the score composed for the episode was. The composer wrote in the style of French impressionism--Debussy and Ravel, and it was very effective and otherworldly.
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. But I still love watching it.
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. The same thing was done with the 1960s Star Trek 'blu ray" set, where they presented both the CGI "enhanced" versions of the shows alongside the original versions with the original 1960s model shots, paintings, etc. (I own the mid 2000s Trek DVD sets in the tricorder boxes--these were done from the original prints of the shows.)
