Lost in Space is a science fiction themed TV series produced by television producer Irwin Allen for the American television network CBS. The show ran for three seasons, with eighty-three first-run original episodes airing between September 15, 1965 and March 6, 1968, replacing the short-lived World War One TV series. A pilot episode without the robot or the Dr. Smith character, was filmed but never broadcast.

The series was the most expensive in television broadcast history. Each episode was estimated to cost $400,000, quite a sum in the mid-sixties. It remained the most expensive tv series ever until Space: 1999.

Regardless of there value or purpose, these contact sheets today are very collectible and valueable in the hands of collectors.
