WI: Paul Lynda on Lost In Space

WI: Paul Lynde on Lost In Space
  • Just a little while ago on this site, we had a
    thread WI: JACK LORD WAS CAPTAIN KIRK?
    This got me thinking. The other notable TV
    Sci-fi show of the 60's was LOST IN SPACE
    (no arguments here re it's quality!) It was
    supposed to be a serious show but by its
    2nd season got as campy as BATMAN. So
    WI:

    It was decided from the get-go LIS would be
    campy. So instead of Jonathan Harris as Dr
    Smith, Paul Lynde is cast. Guy Williams never even signs on(he didn't want to be on
    such a show unless he was the star- & he could tell he sure in heck wouldn't be). Jack
    Lord also says "no way!" Finally, Robert Reed is brought in. OK, think LIS will be
    better? Or worse?

    P.S. I've left the rest of the cast un-
    changed- but everyone, feel free to make
    suggestions!

    NOTE: Again, thanks to my friend John Hall
    for his suggestions & input.
