I loved the (campy) TV show as a kid, and I still have a few of the Gold Key comics in my collection. The movie was visually interesting, but otherwise forgettable.
I'll give the Netflix series a look, if it comes to fruition. |

I used to know a writer who wrote a reboot script for LiS about ten years ago. He asked me my opinion about what to do with Doctor Smith. I suggested that Doctor Smith could be Will Robinson's imaginary friend that is accidentally brought to life through interaction with an alien merchandise maker.
The script I guess went into the trash bin. |

See the old shows are on one of cables rerun channels. I have watched a few usually wondering what I would do to Dr Smith while doing it. |

There was at least one Lost in Space novel as well. |

Bill, if you ever find out the title of the novel I would love to read that! (If it was older – i.e. 60's) The Gold Key comics are awesome! They have anthologies out:

I thought it had been remade. STAR TREK VOYAGER |

My question would be why? |
