Lost In Space: The Complete Adventures (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder (1 Viewer)

Which episode is the one with the chimp with the colander hat? That is the first one I want to watch.

You can find Debbie, the Bloop, in a number of first season episodes, with lesser appearances as the series wears on. For sure, she appears in the unaired pilot.

 

[Joe Kelly]

YES!! As Mr. Carabimero stated above, just checked my email and LIS blu ray is on its way! (Can you tell I'm psyched?).

 

[Joe Kelly]

My favorite episode with Debbie the Bloop was "The Magic Mirror" (featuring guest star Michael J. Pollard). Thought it was a great episode for Angela Cartwright also, where Angela got to show her acting chops.

Debbie the Bloop showed off her acting chops too!

Got my confirmation of the $69.99 deal being honored and my set has shipped! Haven't seen the show since it first aired so I'm looking forward to revisiting it.

 

[Harry-N]

Pre-ordered sets ship today and tomorrow from Huntsville.

My credit card has been charged way back on the 4th or 5th, but I've had no shipping confirmation. Starting to be concerned.

 

[Carabimero]

You should have gotten an email confirmation yesterday or today. Your order might be fine, but why not check with Fox connect just to make sure.

 

[Joe Kelly]

FYI, email shipping confirmation contains tracking info. According to it, my order was shipped UPS ground from Knoxville TN around 11 PM last night, projected delivery date (to the South Jersey shore) is Monday. Harry, I bet you will have shipping info in your email this AM.

 

[Harry-N]

And so I have. Got it this morning.

Yeah got my notification last evening. It should arrive in plenty of time to watch the network version of The Reluctant Stowaway on the actual 50th anniversary.

If you really haven't seen any of it for 50 years I'd be prepared for a shock. I'd skip season 2 and watch season 3 first or you'll never make it.


I've loved the show since 1968 but I've rewatched many episodes many times over the years so I've grown up allowing for its failings.


Unlike Star Trek I think LIS relies a lot on nostalgia and familiarity with the characters.

I don't think the majority of episodes standup to adult scrutiny.

Many are painfully dreadful but there are enough for me ( mostly in season 1 and 3) that combine nostalgia and some great situations to make this purchase essential and I'm in the UK so I'm paying $130 + postage + customs so I must love it.

That's cool. I'm prepared to possibly be disappointed in it from an adult viewer standpoint. But I'm usually pretty good at seeing a show for what it was and the time it was made, as well as the nostalgia factor for my childhood. And of course, for the price I got, I'm not going to complain. But thanks for the heads-up! If I find S2 a slog, I will definitely skip ahead to 3.

I was beginning to wonder, but I received a shipping confirmation email this evening. Wonder how long UPS Ground is to South Florida?

 

[Jerseydevil]

Go to the UPS tracking website and enter your tracking number it gives you the delivery date

 

[Carabimero]

The plan is to have everyone's pre-ordered set to them on or around Tuesday.

Yeah I just checked my status. On track for Tuesday.

I tried that, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'll keep checking back on it.

You could have a look at some reviews of the seasons as that might give you an idea what to expect.

As with Man from Uncle season 3 the second season of Lost In Space was "Batmanised" and while very colorful and enjoyable in places literally loses the plot. But if you can get all the way through Space Vikings ( amongst other OTT episodes) then you might survive season 2.


For me , season 3 has some of the best episodes but also some very dodgy ones - The Great Vegetable Rebellion is fortunately near the end but Target Earth, The Anti Matter Man and a good many other season 3 episodes are a joy to watch.


Silly as it may seem , one of the highlights of this upcoming release for me are the season 3 "next week" trailers being put back in their proper place as they really are the highlight of some of the lesser episodes. The dvd's just don't play right without them in their correct place.

For anyone on the fence about whether or not they'd like the show or can't remember what it's like, if you're in the USA and can stream video, then check out Hulu. Every episodes is there on the free side of Hulu.com

I actually prefer the goofiness of the later episodes. When I was a kid I liked things more "serious"... I wanted stern faces and no fun. Today, I like the last season of Star Trek and that wonderful vegetable episode of Lost in Space. I even prefer the Munsters to the Addams Family now. I've mellowed and gotten more jolly in my old age!
