Of all the TV shows over the years, I can't think of any character more powerful as strong as Jonthan Harris role as Dr. Zachary Smith on Lost in Space. His role was so versatile, it made the show exciting, dramatic, and mostly fun to watch.

Jonathan could make you laugh, cry, love em, or hate him. His facial expressions also added much to his wackie style of stupendous acting. I never missed those weekly "cliff-hangers" when Dr. Smith was being attacked by some weird alien monster from some strange unknown planet. Thoughs loud screams of help and pity got him no where. What were those monsters going to do with him anyway? Eat him for dinner, really!

Jonathan got many of his ideas for the show from kids from his childhood life. I love one episode "The Great Vegetable Rebellion". In the beginning of this episode a birthday cake was made for the Robot. In the middle of the night, Dr. Smith went for a late night snack. Finding the cake, Jonathan cut the middle of the cake, took the center piece, and pushed the remains together. A true classic of a scene that Jonathan delivered so well.
