Is Jonathan Harris the only one to blame? How about spreading that blame around to some writers, directors, and most especially producer Irwin Allen. All of his sci-fi TV shows began with promise and eventually became ridiculous.

I was there on 9-15-65. I was immediately hooked. Took about the first 10 episodes before this kid sensed something was going wrong. Yes, Harris ruined it, but Allen let him, Fox let him, Paley let him. I didn't buy the DVD's and won't be buying the BluRays. I can't stomach the idiocy any more*. But I'll be first in line when the CD box comes out. I wish there was more behind the scenes info floating about, as Trek has been given. How about some 4k frames of the Jupiter 2 for computer wallpaper? I hope the CD box will have the names of the orchestra players. To me, Fox had the best art department at the time. Who are the guys who you see in the effects outtakes? Fred? Tom? Give all those faceless people a name. I liked Trek. Still do. But it didn't have any family, no kids to identify with at the time. Hope this makes sense. * "Move over, Penny, you have company!" before the second season crash. rolleyes ---------------------------------------- EDIT: On the other hand, without Smith, there'd have been no theme for him, such as the one where he struggles off the flight couch, ("Reluctant Stowaway")nor the excellent adaptation Herman Stein(?) wrote for Smith (with the Robot theme mixed in) as he was lying to everyone about how he was already helping others, and went to the lower deck for coffee. ( "There Were Giants in the Earth")

It seems to me Jonathan Harris was revered for his egotistic, hog stealing, self indulgent take over of Lost In Space. While William Shatner is disdained for his egotistic, self indulgent, scene stealing in Star Trek. Both of those actors deserve all the praise they can get. Both of them came into their space shows after the pilot had been filmed, and their star power saved both shows from immediate extinction.
