- Thought I'd share one of my fondest memories of BOB MAY -The ROBOT from Lost in Space. CHECKOUT this link for my latest LOST IN SPACE project....I am impersonating the robots voice and have recorded CD of the Robot singing! elvisechoe.wix....
"Danger, Will Robinson"! LOVE IT! My favorite episode of LIS was when the Robinson's robot battled an evil 'bot (I think it was "Robby" from Forbidden Planet).
This tribute to my Daddy warmed my heart, made me laugh, made me cry. You were a good friend and I want to thank you for such a wonderful tribute to him.
Everyone loved the robot so much because of Bob Mays personality comming through, just an incredible person.
I talked with Bob May a few years ago at a con.
He was a great guy to talk to.
With videos like this, he will never be forgotten.
The Robot was the best charactor on Lost In Space!
I grew up watching Lost and Space. Iam Now 53 and when I found out the Robot was not real, I Cryed ! Thank you Mr. May You Are Saddly Missed .
There is no way I’d ever get inside that thing. Kudos to Bob May for pulling it off for so long.
This can only leave great memories for me and I'm 57 years old......t.v. will never be the same....."Thank you MR. BOB MAY.....it will always compute.
Thank you for posting this Nick! What a great tribute to a wonderful man. The man who made our hero, The Robot, come to life. He will be missed by all of his many fans.
Bob May was my semi pro football coach. His son Marty was on the team as well. We used to hang at the house and play pool. Bob took use to volunteer at the special Olympics and it was fun.
You father helped bring so much happiness to millions of people, one of them being me. Thank you for having such a great dad!
Very nice video!
This video brought back fond memories of my childhood.
I'm a 37 year old brazilian guy who grew up watching reruns of Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea etc.
When I was nine or ten I would wacth Lost in Space every morning, before lunch and then go to school.
I too only now got to know how the robot was manipulated. Bob May achieved the impossible: gave this suit a real personality.
Artists like Jonathan Harris and Bob May became a sweet part of my life.
I LOVED that show, and saw every episode every released. Those were the days of the cliff-hanger for sure. I loved that at the end of every episode we were left hanging in suspense until the following week. Dr. Smith was a guy whom one loved to hate, while the Robot was my favorite character.
I miss Mr. May. We last met in Las Vegas 2006 inside the Hilton during Star Trek's 40th. Very fun tribute Nick......thank you so much for sharing this video with us.
That was amazing! This was my favorite show when I was a kid.
Danger Will Robinson! Danger!
This is my favorite of all the Lost in Space robot videos.
The replica robots are cool but this video shows the agony that went into making the actual special effects on the show.
I think back in my old age how did I do some of the things that I did when I was young?
That is why I got such a kick out of Bob May. 😂🤣😂
Seeing this nearly 10 years after it posted is also a pleasant surprise. This is the first I have seen of this Robot since the 60's as a young kid. I never knew until now, that there was someone inside of it! Hahahaha. I thought it was some kind of remote controlled machine. Good old Dr.Smith. He was always screwing sh*t up for the rest of them!
Oh my God!!! I really love that robot. I grew up watching all the Jupiter 2 adventures!!. Beautiful memories..... Thanks!!
The only Robot with a heart, and we can all thank Dr. Smith :) and Bob May
Looks like everyone had a good time. I was very sorry to hear of Bob May's passing. Another bit of my childhood gone.
one of my favorite shows that was awesome love that robot
I loved this robot as a kid.
THANKS FOR ALL THE KIND COMMENTS! Sorry it took so long to approve them...i havnt gotten notices from youtube to let me know any were waiting. This is my new robot project- I recorded a CD of the robot singing songs from his tv show elvisechoe.wix.com/themaskpit#!robot-phrases/c63v
I still watch this every Saturday night on MeTV.
Last night had Robby the Robot.....
Bob was great inside the bot as well as outside of the bot.
Nick, that was priceless. You are an entertainer as was Bob. This was a nic tribute to Bob. You guys together are a class act !
i admire anyone who is a suit actor like mr may was , and that includes all suit actors.
Lovely tribute to bob may
WOW, this was so awesome! I watched this show every day when I got home from school. Best memories ever!
It brings back great memories!!! Guys, I miss you all!!!!
That was great, had me smiling, memories from my childhood, loved it, :-)
rip Dr. Smith
Cool T-shirt. And I met Bob May too. Very cool..indeed!
Bob May: "Is my ashtray in there?" He really did smoke and read the paper in there between takes.
Bob was my semi pro football coach. His son Marty Jr was on it too. Last I saw him they were living in Granada Hills We would go do special Olympics with him and I had a blast hanging out with the celebs.
But Dick Tufeld did the robot's voice. Bob May's acting consisted mainly of waving the robots arms and going forward without hitting anything.
Wow that was a wonderful tribute I too didn't know who was in the robot either Rest in peace
danger,danger,danger dr. smith
I loved lost in space , favourite show as a child, I would run home from school to watch it, I was in love with Will Robinson (Billy mummy). Robot made the show
I love this!! You guys are great!! Robot as Elvis~! Gold. Pure gold.
A most entertaining and and humorous tribute! Nice job playing the robot!
Great video ! Loved the robot and TV show.
I remember having "The Robot" as a toy when I was a kid.
What a way to honor the work of a wonderful man - thanks for sharing this video !
That was great... I loved the show
Nick that was wonderful. If you have anyother videos please post them.
No computerize show will ever match the oldies !
Great vid & impressive robot skills. Makes you appreciate how hard it was for Bob May. Cheers.
SUPER !!!! NO WORDS !!!
"You must have needed a job very badly".......ROFL
Minha série preferida quando criança tenho em Vhs até hoje. Kkkk
that was my fav show when i was a kid great video buddy !
I believe that the original robot is in Paul Allen's collection at the Sci Fi museum in Seattle. They also have several other famous robots, including Gort.
Fantastic Video,,,thanks for sharing,, still watch Lost In Space to this day..........
As a kid i honestly thought the robot was real - how i loved this show growing up
I grew up with this show!My mom always bitches me out that i was born right in the middle of the "great vegatable rebellion"!She had to wait to see it till the repeats!
This came from Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet,,one of the classic movies of all time
This B-9 robot came from Lost in Space, the TV show. Robbie was from the 1956 move Forbidden Planet.
I believe you are confusing robots and movies: ROBBY the robot came from THE FORBIDDEN PLANET (1950?).. ROBBY made a guest appearance on lost in Space. ROBOT in LOST IN SPACE the TV Show was specially made for the show. The robot on the movie version was a bastardized blend of the Two robots.
Television has crashed so much.
We now value the crap from 1960's TV so much, no one can imagine how anyone would care a wit about current TV 50 years from now.
You were awesome Nick. Just awesom and I have a B9
B9 was and is one of the best robots ever. I wanted one of the limited editions that came out, but could not afford that price tag. For me the best parts of LiS was/is the machinery and robots the the episodes.
Nice job! This guy got to get into the robot suit!
I am jealous and happy for him at the same time!
yes fun stuff me like seen the B 9 in other TVshow like robby well cant have em all good 4th to all
That guy is a really funny comedian. Bob May was great as well.
"May, you can't frighten me! I will do whatever I please when it pleases me!"
That dummy of Dr. Smith is very funny!
Well, at least Bob May was a great gentleman.
You killed with the robot!
What a fun video.
MARAVILHA!!!
THE BEST!
Wonderful.
Fantastic! I want a robot STAT!
Very clever, thanks for sahring.....
This is the most epic thing on the web. YOU, my paesan are GOLDEN, my deeer boy!
2:28 Two robots!!! A silver one and another blue one!!! Looks like they were made in the same mold!
GREAT STUFF!! Definitely brings back alot of great television memories!
great stuff. thanks..............
Great! Thanks for posting.
PERDIDO NO ESPAÇO. MARCOU VARIAS GERAÇÕES!
How Freaking Cool Was That?!! This Is Great...I WOULD'VE Loved To Been There To To Try It Out A See Bob May. Thank You For This; When L.I.S First Hit The Airwaves, I Was 2yrs. old. As With Star Trek...I Loved Lost In Space.!!!
I just cant tell you how great this was! Dave
Oooooh, the pain, the pain.
Excellent posting........
RIP Bob May
A very cool video! Watching this made me go back to the early 1970's. Thanks for posting it for us to see. Respect from Apache Junction, Arizona.
Nick, you look different from the beginning of this video vs. getting into the robot. Watching the old reruns I can see why I loved this show as a child. I didn't like Dr. Smith's character at all. It bothers me that there always has to be a villain in all TV shows and movies. "The Day The Earth Stood Still" is one of my favorites too. I loved that Michal Rennie played the "Keeper". It was a perfect role for him!!! By the way, do they ever show who did the voice of the robot? I'm sure that questions is probably answered somewhere on youtube or on the internet!!!! Thanks for your post!!!
outstanding stuff...thank you for sharing this.
I had no idea the Dr. Smith robot was gonna talk like a ventriloquist dummy and keep his mouth moving at times when he's not talking lol. Great video, although I cringed at the singing parts.
This just made my night! Fantastic! B9 never looked so good. Awesome job sir.
Thanks-BOB! ~M~
This is great, I feel bad for kids today, they didn't grow up with this kind of TV, what imagination/innovation, all they have is CGI junk.....
very cool
so nice I don't feel like a bad robot
I don't want to know your problems..... lmao yay for bob may
I like this video!!!, how lucky you are!!. I love the Lost in Space TV series. I have every episode on DVD! I met most of the cast and saw a B9 robot.
You are a lucky guy!!
awesome
Never thought about it before but the robot suit looks VERY uncomfortable.
starsiegeplay lost in space! #a classic #💓that cast! & crew!!!!!! Always! 💓🌎💓#💋💓🌹👧👶👩🌈.
Robot gets his own UA-cam video.
THIS IS AWESOME !!
I never noticed it before, but you can see the shadow of the head in the clear part of the robot under the lamp like part. Now I can see it in the eps even the black and white ones. BTW the only B&W eps of the show were from the first season, and they shot the pilo 2 times. One with DR. Smith and robot and one without Dr.Smith and Robot. then they ended up combining the two to an extent to create the second pilot. The 1 w/o Dr. Smith was not aired until after the series ended.
Great Doctor Smith voice. Too bad his face looked so angry.
