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.
