I'm glad to see that someone besides me liked LOST IN SPACE. Actually, I took it
rather seriously when it was first on, but back then, I was at a very impres-
sionable age (12 -- the golden age of science fiction). Of course, a number of
years later, when I caught some re-runs, I thought they were real groaners, but
the show still has a rather (as Frank N. Furter would put it) "naive charm".
Besides, when I was a kid, I had a crush on Angela Cartwright.
Speaking of a LOST IN SPACE movie, though, there was an issue of STARLOG
a few years back with an interview with Billy Mumy, in which he mentioned trying
to get a LiS "reunion" TV movie done. Everybody seemed willing to do it, but, if
I remember correctly, he had yet to convince 20th Century Fox to do it.

<oh dear, what's to become of me>
I, too was, and still am, a Lost in Space fan. I never considered the
show good SF, rather just enjoyed it for the humor. I am hoping that
Boston will run reruns of Lost in Space this summer when we switch over
to summer programming. LIS was aired on weekdays from 1 to 2 on channel
56 here (I forget what the call letters are) from the summer of 1982
until about March 1983 when it mysteriously vanished and was replaced by
(sigh) the Banana Splits.
I never got to see any original episodes. The first I ever remember
seeing the show was afternoons at 5pm in NYC channel 5 (forgot those
call letters too!).
I would love to see an episode of LIS similar to that of "Return to
Gilligan's Island".
Hoping this message won't get LOTN (Lost On The Net) --
