It always annoyed me that everynone on that show pronounced robot as "row-butt."
Was just a cheap rip off of the Forbidden Planet robot anyway. |

Yeah and supposedly they got the idea for making Sci-Fi on a budget after Gene Roddenberry pitched the idea of Star Trek to CBS. Actually, the pilot for Lost in Space cost $600,000, a fortune in the mid 1960's. It was the most expensive tv pilot ever until the first Star Trek pilot was made a year later for 50 grand more. Peter Griffin: Wow, I'm even better than that dad from Lost In Space. [flashback] Professor Robinson: We need to chart this planet. Don, you take my 16 year old blonde daughter out in the chariot for the rest of the day. Penny, you stay with me. And Will, you and the robot go out into the uncharted wilderness and take this mincing, boy-hungry pedophile with you. |

Was just a cheap rip off of the Forbidden Planet robot anyway. Here's a little trivia for you. It wasn't a "cheap rip-off" of anything. The reason the Forbidden Planet robot (Robby) and the Lost in Space robot (B9) look similar is very simple. They were both made by the same designer, Robert Kinoshita. The two even "co-starred" together in two episodes of Lost in Space, "The War Of The Robots" and "The Condemned Of Space". Kinoshita also designed the Jupiter 2, by the way, and served as art director for Lost in Space. In any case, neither robot could be described as cheap. I don't know any exact dollar figures, but I do know building Robby was a very complex process that took months to complete. The thermo-forming process for the plastics used was previously thought to be impossible before Kinoshita proved the concept with Robby, and as if that wasn't enough, all the little spinning gizmos and lights required the installation of no less than 2,600 feet of electrical cable. I'd imagine the B9 was similarly complicated to build, but there's not as much data available on it, so I don't know for sure what was involved. All I know for certain is that whatever the process was, it had to be done not just once but twice. You see, B9, just like any other TV star worth his salt, had a regular stunt double. There was one hollow version that an operator would climb inside for the "acting" scenes, and a solid version used for lighting setup and stunts. I suppose it's an easy mistake to make though, to assume that B9 was just a knock-off of his older brother. While Robby is an inductee in the Robot Hall of Fame and starred in a host of feature films, TV shows, and commercials, B9 dropped out of the acting scene after Lost in Space. He did manage to gather quite a loyal fan club though. _____________________

Won't comment on Lost in Space, but Forbidden Planet was state of the art in the late fifties, and remains a classic of literary cinema and impressive special effects today. It's a bizarre mixture of 1950's American pop SF kitsch and William Shakespeare's The Tempest - and every SF production in 1960s was influenced by it, from LoS to Star Trek to 2001.

I remember watching this show as a kid Land of the Lost Not sure how this relates to the topic at hand, but whether it does or it doesn't, I used to love that show! (We are talking about the 1970's version, not the 90's remake, right?) I've always had a thing for dinosaurs, and those Sleestaks were some frickin' scary dudes when I was like 5. I never did quite figure out how going over a waterfall in a raft equals end up stuck in dinosaur land, but I guess it's no less plausible than the having dinosaur land on top of a plateau to which people can climb up but for some inexplicable reason, can't climb back down again. The plateau version (The Lost World) is considered to be one of the greatest adventure stories of all time, so I guess I shouldn't question these things. _____________________

Heh, I hated the 90s remake of Land of the Lost! Trapped in a place full of dinosaurs wanting to eat them, the family builds a tree house at a level where every dinosaur can eat them! WTF???
At least the original's used a cave. Whatever happened to Holly, anyways? I had the biggest crush on her when I was a kid. Ahhhhh, Sid & Marty Kroft!! How I miss those shows! |

Whatever happened to Holly, anyways? According to Former Child Star Central, she sang in a 70's saccharine pop band, got married at 18, had a couple kids, got divorced, worked on a dairy farm, and worked in clothing store, not necessarily in that particular order. All in all, a disappointing history on every possible level. Child stars are supposed to become criminals, town drunks, porn stars, or in rare cases continue on to bona fide hollywood success as adults. This one clearly didn't do her duty. _____________________
