This show ran for three seasons ( 1965-68 ) on the CBS television network when much of the entertainment of the day was sci-fi and fantasy / adventure. During the 60's, television not only entertained, but it also transported the viewer's imagination into another world. Hence, this is why the Twilight Zone, Star Trek, and even Batman television shows are finding new audiences!

Created by Irwin Allen, Lost in Space was the second of the four classic Sci-Fi shows that he produced. CBS had the privilege of airing Lost in Space while ABC aired the other three; Voyage to Bottom of the Sea, The Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants. The 1960's also saw a dramatic change in television viewing, it was when the television industry pulled out all stops and splashed color onto the airwaves almost overnight. For the first time, fans of a show could finally see what the actors and sets looked like in color.

Talk about an eye-opener!
