    "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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • @wcoyote5502
      @wcoyote5502 6 років тому +1

      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.

    @Sheilamaizi 8 років тому +3

    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!!!

    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.
