Lost in Space!!! (Or, if you prefer, Lost IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!)

This thread is for talk about Lost in Space.  We can talk about all three facets: The awesome TV show, the awesome (or awful, if you will) Bruce Broughton Concert/Robot Demonstration/Light Show (I know there's a better word to describe it, but I just can't seem to place it...), and the awful '04 unsold pilot (David Robinson?  Baby Penny?  No Smith?).

To start off, my first exposure to Lost in Space was a computer game tie-in for the movie (I was a child then).  After a few years of playing that, I ended up seeing the movie on DVD.  I wasn't as interested in the characters as I was in the Robot.  I hated the Big Blue version, and I cheered at the first sight of the Rebuilt version (The rebuilt version was the one that starred in the computer game I played).  The only thing that kept me watching the movie was the sight of that robot.

After that, I got the first season of Lost in Space on DVD.  At first, the sight of the different characters was...  unsettling.  But I got used to it, and now it's a great show!  But, since then, I only got the second volume of the third season, as well as the movie on Blu-Ray.  I still don't own any of the second season, or even the first volume of the third season. >:(  Oh, well...

I thought we already had an IIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN SSSSSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAACCCCCCCCEEEEEEE thread.

My experience with Lost in Space is pretty much limited to the film and a few of the film's tie-in novels and comics. I liked the film as a kid, loved the part of the film where they stumble upon and explore the ghost ship, but I haven't seen it in years so I don't know how it would hold up for me if I were to watch it again.

On another semi-related note, my dad, who was a fan of the show when he was a kid, recently re-watched the movie and didn't like it at all.

Watch the TV show, and you will end up liking both the Movie AND the show.  That worked for me. :)

BTW, here's a list of all the Lost in Space Robots, in the order of my favorite to my least favorite:

Rebuilt Movie (Based strictly on looks, and because he's the one who starred in the computer game that got me into Lost in Space)

Original B9 (Definitely the most charismatic of the bunch)

Big Blue Movie (The holographic interface is SWEET)

Adam (Terrible, Terrible, Terrible)
