DVD Reviews of Lost in Space - Season 2, Vol. 2
DVD Review: Well, it's fine for the nostalgic baby boomer, like myself
Summary: 3 Stars
Though I thought season two of Irwin Allen's classic series was the weakest of the show's three, I finally succumbed and purchased volume two simply because it contains some of my favorites from that year: "The Astral Traveler," "The Galaxy Gift," "Trip Through the Robot," "The Phantom Family," "The Mechanical Men," and "The Cave of the Wizards." Though these exhibit the same fantasy-oriented storytelling that dominated the season, they do have a better structured plot than the rest in the compilation.
Lesser episodes, but tolerable, are "Revolt of the Androids"(featuring the return of Dee Hartford as Verda the Android and also starring future "Land of the Giants" star Don Matheson) and "The Colonists," with a rather sexist view of the roles of men and women, something that, unfortunately, permeated all of Allen's series.
However, a waste of celluloid are "The Questing Beast," "The Toymaker," "Mutiny in Space," "The Space Vikings, "Treasure of the Lost Planet" (with Albert Salmi returning as space pirate Alonzo Tucker), and "Rocket to Earth."
Speaking of the actors, the six of the seven regulars tried to play what-had-obviously-turned-into-fantasy/farce as seriously as they could while the guest stars, like Jonathan Harris, decided to go over the top with their performances. Albert Salmi, Ronald Long, Hans Conried, Walter Burke, Sean McClory, Al Lewis, and the master of "hamminess," John Carradine, stole just about every scene in which they were featured.
If I had actually had to pay full price for the set, I wouldn't have spent my money; I happened to find the compilation at a much reduced price at a national retailer.
In other words, seek out the cheapest price that you can find.

DVD Review: 5 Star Sensation!
Summary: 5 Stars
Lost In Space is a must for any Sci-Fi fan! Just Dr. Smith and the Robot alone make this series superb and a 5 Star sensation in my book! A great buy and one that you can enjoy over and over again! Sure some of the episodes are a bit silly, but it does make you wonder what you would do if you were stranded on a lost planet of which I hope I never find out! DVD Review: Lost in Space-Season 2, Vol.2
Summary: 5 Stars
I keep enjoying watching the episodes! They bring wonderful memories from my teenager years. My friends and I watched it and talked about the episodes a lot!
Description of Lost in Space - Season 2, Vol. 2
As its second season progressed, and as these 14 episodes from 1967 attest, Lost in Space continued to swap science fiction for comic fantasy, and the show's ratings went into orbit. While Star Trek satisfied a smaller audience of serious sci-fi fans on NBC, Lost in Space (airing Wednesday nights on CBS) delighted a younger audience with the cheesy adventures of "Space Family Robinson," stranded on an isolated planet that nevertheless played host to an abundance of alien visitors. Here they include operatic Vikings, a disembodied mechanical head, a spacefaring buccaneer, a Scottish bagpiper in a haunted castle, and, in the deliriously entertaining episode "Revolt of the Androids," a silver-painted super-being whose primary purpose is to "Crush...Kill...Destroy!!" It's all harmless family fun, offering equal amounts of tongue-in-cheek whimsy and some scary highlights that kids, then and now, will find instantly unforgettable.Yes, it all looks quaint and innocent by present-day standards, and it's painfully obvious that series creator Irwin Allen didn't know what to do with the Robinson clan, a wooden variant of Ozzie & Harriett in V-necked velour, with June Lockhart playing happy homemaker while patriarch Guy Williams spent most of his time repairing damaged equipment. It's just as well, since season 2 is dominated by the scene-stealing duo of Dr. Smith (played by Jonathan Harris in the role he was born to play) and the sarcastic Robot B-9, who plays a scolding R2D2 to Harris's duplicitous, flamboyantly feckless C3PO, the latter delivering alliterative insults (like "you ingot of ingratitude!" and "you nickel-plated nincompoop!") in virtually every episode. Guest stars like Albert Salmi, Al "Grandpa Munster" Lewis, and John Carradine are in on the game, adding weekly flavor to a series that shares much in common with such later kid-stuff as H.R. Pufnstuf and Land of the Lost. Some may find it hopelessly ridiculous in retrospect, but Lost in Space still offers fun aplenty for those who enjoy its anything-goes approach to low-budget fantasy for the young and young-at-heart. Unfortunately for devoted fans, vintage 1966 radio interviews with Lockhart, Williams, and Harris are the only extras in this well-mastered four-disc set. --Jeff Shannon
