When Netflix launched the new LIS TV show without John Williams songs I was thinking how it could works. John Williams songs are part of essence from original LIS as what occurs on Star Wars. One can't live without other.
I couldn't believe they let the ending of the first season go without playing one of Williams' (two!) great themes for their end credits! (Duh nuh dun nuh!!) It would have been so perfect. - edit: I suspect the rights are owned by somebody else (Irwin Allen?) who wanted too much money?
@@tuttt99 how the hell the crew of the Jupiter 2 knew the planet was named Preplanis I'll never know (and I've been wondering this since Will said mentioned the planet's name in a later episode. Bill Mumy and I are the same age.)
100% Agree. And considering how cheap the special effects got (remember the crab thing that looked like a repurposed vacuum?), the scene of the Jupiter 2 cutting through the desert landscape is still one of the most realistic special effects I can remember short of CGI.
"Lost in Space" has captured the imaginations of close to three generations now (going on 57) years. Either you get it or you don't. Those who don't have plenty of other things to get interested in. That should leave a lot of us who love "Lost in Space."
This Amazing Score Of Music Always Told You That A Space Monster Was Just Around A Boulder. Or Something Tragic Was Going To Happen. One Of The Best Campy Shows Of All Time. I Was There For The Start In B/W The Early Episodes Where The Best. My Favorite Is The Giant Cyclops. My Brother Had A Model Of The Cyclops On Top Of His Barrow. Holding A Bolder About Crush The Chariot . Great Fun Time, Makes You Glad To Be a Baby Boomer!
Yesssss 03:49 I remember all that excitement and tension build up hyping up for the ship to crash. and yess those chiming clanging bells really did add to the excitement along with the high pitched sound of the ship nose diving through the atmosphere. AWESOME memories :)
Lost in Space,was and Still is the Very Best,si-fi tv shows,I Enjoy watching on tv,I feel that All the cast members,John Williams and the entire work crew should have gotten Big Awards from Hollywood for all the hardwork and dedication they all did in putting all this together for all us Lost in Space fans to Enjoy. Happy 50th anniversary,Lost in Space,with Lots of Love to you all and Thank you for making every episode for all us fans and future generations of Lost in space fans to Enjoy as Well.❤️💕♥️🎉🎉🎈🎈🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🎇🎆💐💐👍👍😁👌
I regretfully missed out on the LIS '50th' CD boxset, but still have the 6 disc 'T.F.W.O.I.A' box set from which the above CD is superb. The above CD has the most popular pieces of music that I and many fans remember. Have to admit Season 3 main theme is my fav, I was also able to get Bernard Herman's music seperately so have the 'Pilot' theme and the 'Jet Pack' music, so Im not too disappointed overall. CD 6 had all the sound effects so The Keeper, Jupiter 2 landing and take off, Ray guns, Robot etc....Fantastic music by any standard and preserved for the future, that I hope one day it will all be appreciated again.
@@fromthesidelines that's From The Episode Target Earth When The Jupiter 2 returns To The Planet of The Clones Prothos And Will ask the Leader of The Prothos Clones played By James Gosa What have done with my Family The Photos they Are Free Look Year 3
What I'm looking for is that dreamy motif notably used when The Keeper first and last appeared to the Robinsons . it was used several times in that story. I think that's one of the reasons I liked it so much. Anyone know what I'm talking about.
I would love it if you uploaded all of the Music from episode 1, The Reluctant Stowaway. From the Introduction of The Jupiter 2, To the Cliffhanger when John Robinson was trying to grab the line, shot from The Rocket Gun by Maureen Robinson.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎶🎵💞
The producers using his music anywhere they could stick it with no knowledge was a shame.But what do you expect from someone who would make "The Great Vegetable Rebellion."
The American Federation of Musicians had a contract that allowed television producers to reuse any or all music recorded for an episode throughout a season, so only a minimum amount of episodes required original scores to comply with said contract. As such, TV music cues were made to be malleable so they could be used anywhere. In other words, it was not "a shame." It was the status quo. Also, what does that second sentence even mean? "What do you expect from someone who would even attempt to write a story that they thought would make an entertaining episode of a campy sci-fi drama"? I'm willing to bet that "The Great Vegetable Rebellion" is a more enjoyable story than the great nothing burger you posted.
When I first watched this show at the age of eight, I thought the show sucked but the music was great. All these years later, my opinion has not changed. However John Williams score was worth putting up with the amazingly bad stories and truly crummy dialogue.
To be sure, the second season story plots were often egregious- however, this show had tremendous potential as evidenced when the episodes from the first and third seasons DID hit their mark. You can thank Irwin Allen for his left-brained “bean counter” approach to the show. Jonathan Harris’ overacting and silliness certainly wasn’t helpful. Just goes to show how inept and indifferent Irwin Allen was, to defer to, and capitulate to Harris’ every demand. This show was successful in spite of Harris and Allen- and of course, the musical genius and brilliance of John Williams. That interior music plays like the Top Forty of our childhoods.
@@randyrudd5594 "To be sure, the second season story plots were often egregious..." Well, I'm not so sure about that. In fact, I highly doubt that. You don't have to refer to Irwin Allen's "left-brained 'bean counter' approach to the show" in a sarcastic and condescending manner. He created a show that could be serious and tense, campy and ridiculous, or anything in between. It's all kinds of fun, just like its peers of the time. And "Jonathan Harris’ overacting and silliness" most certainly was helpful. Harris found his character to be boring, and feared it would also quickly bore viewers. Harris "began rewriting his lines and redefining his character", by playing Smith in an attention-getting, flamboyant style, and ad-libbing his scenes with colorful, pompous dialogue. In other words, Harris cared about making the show entertaining for both him and the viewers. Furthermore, this does not "go to show how inept and indifferent Irwin Allen was, to defer to, and capitulate to Harris’ every demand," but rather that he cared about making the show entertaining as much as Harris. In short, the show was not "successful in spite of Harris and Allen," but because of them. P.S. Maybe Irwin Allen did have "a tenth of the vision Roddenberry and Spielberg had," but you're just refusing to see it. Comparing Allen to Roddenberry and Spielberg is absolute apples and oranges. As Bill Mumy said, Allen did not conceive Lost in Space as a star trek, but as The Swiss Family Robinson in space; a pioneer family stranded on a far-off planet settling and surviving the alien environment. And if the show already was a classic, why are you complaining? Apparently, it was enough of a classic to warrant reruns, cast reunions, a movie, and a Netflix series, but it seems that you're not one to leave well enough alone. Besides, Lost in Space isn't even the only science fiction/fantasy show Allen created, so you're limiting your idea of his vision to just one of his creations.
If you thought that "the show sucked" at the age of eight and your "opinion has not changed," then you must've not been a very fun child and have always been impossibly hard to please. Williams' score was as good as the stories it was used in. If there's one thing I learned in History of Children's Television class, it's that "anything campy is good." Something here is "amazingly bad" and "truly crummy," but it sure as hell ain't the stories or dialogue. The stories are entertaining, and the dialogue is witty, like a lot of shows and movies of the time.

I'm Black and I hope John Williams knows how much the world loves and appreciates him! That includes black people!
Thank-you Musical Genius John Williams for giving us the perfect quality soundtrack to compliment our favorite Childhood Space TV Series
This music always conveyed the mystery and dangers of space.
John Williams music made LIS so good!
Just like Star Wars!
Great Theme and musical score! Never anyone like John Williams ever again! Truly Beautiful and composed music by a Maestro. Peace
6:16 LOST IN SPACE always has the best fight music!
WONDERFULL,,I never tired listen this battle soundtrack...JW was a genius...
Exactly. It shows up a lot in the Keeper Episodes and One Of Our Dog is Missing. It conveys action and danger and heroism better than most anything.
It was originally used during the crash landing sequence of the J2 on Preplanis in the episode "Island in the Sky"
@@tuttt99 how the hell the crew of the Jupiter 2 knew the planet was named Preplanis I'll never know (and I've been wondering this since Will said mentioned the planet's name in a later episode. Bill Mumy and I are the same age.)
100% Agree. And considering how cheap the special effects got (remember the crab thing that looked like a repurposed vacuum?), the scene of the Jupiter 2 cutting through the desert landscape is still one of the most realistic special effects I can remember short of CGI.
The crash landing at 6:18 is worth all of the other tracks put together.
I agree totally, the intense of all the LIS songs.
Which is why Irwin Allen reused that cue time and again.....
The most memorable piece of music in the entire show! :)
Agreed, great piece...bought goosebumps to me as a 9 y.o watching the crash scene, and it was on an ASTOR B/W TV in Mono! What a great show!!
Yeeesss !!! And many of fights on LIS with this song. Remarkable track.

Oh my delicate back.
Pretty much a soundtrack for 2020...
It's remarkable how much John Williams' style was already set by then
Williams was 32 years old in 1965. He is 90 years old in 2022.
It was the most incredible music that shows on a sci-fi tv fantasy series Lost In Space as the greatest television shows of all time.
This Amazing Score Of Music Always Told You That A Space Monster Was Just Around A Boulder. Or Something Tragic Was Going To Happen. One Of The Best Campy Shows Of All Time.

That my John Williams.

Dear sweet Penny. Oh, the pain.
The only show where the music was a featured cast member.
Far from the only one. Star Trek and Mission: Impossible would like a word.

Beautiful music !
best soundtrack ever...
Whenever I hear 2:08, I instantly think of the giant from Ep.4. It was the first I heard that track.
The addition of the tubular bells at 1:12 is brilliance.
The infamous Cliffhanger track
can't give enough likes.
Maine mis víctor de chile yo tenia 10 años cuando veía por TV perdidos en el espacio
Listen to 1:52 They used this score to put us in suspense and then went to a commercial.
Lol ! How astute sir ! 😎

I don't know why, but at 2:09, I always imagine Dr. Smith screaming!
Some classic moments in there - 0:58 , 2:08 , around 4:40 , 5:18 , and those bells at 6:18 !
Dave the entire cut is classic.
Are you going to have the rest of the soundtracks soon?
Do you happen to have OST of THE DERELICT?

6:17
Starting at 1:15 you can hear the predecessor of Jaws music . This low buildup
I hear bits of Indiana Jones too. You could replace segments of Indy soundtrack with parts of this track, and it would not sound out of place.
I can't believe how you haven't mentioned how much this is early Star Wars music!
Não foi por acaso que George Lucas chamou John para compor a trilha de sua obra-prima Star Wars.
