March 6th was the 50th anniversary of the final episode of the initial run of Lost in Space, which originally aired from 1965 to 1968. This is also the date when Netflix, in a coup of marketing timing, elected to release the trailer for their new rebooted version of Lost in Space, which will drop on April 13th. This trailer is, of course, all that general audiences currently know about the new Lost in Space, but it certainly contains enough substance to offer sci-fi fans and old-school TV geeks fodder for endless speculation and conjecture. So let’s take a look at how this new Lost in Space looks when compared to the older versions?
The original Lost in Space, in case you're unfamiliar, followed the future adventures of the Robinson family, as they quested to find a home after their spacecraft was thrown off course by a creepy stowaway. The cast included Guy Williams, June Lockhart from Lassie, future member of Barnes & Barnes Bill Mumy, Marta Kristen, Angela Cartwright, Mark Goddard, and the indelible Jonathan Harris as the menacing and over-the-top stowaway Dr. Smith. Bob May suited up as the show's boxy robot friend (who was voiced by Dick Tufeld).
