  1. Uh-oh..do I dare? Dr. Smith was in the very first episode as ‘The Sto-a-way’, when he inadvertantly got trapped inside at lift-off. But that first episode was so good! Then it, in time, turned into Dr. Smith as a Carrot uttering ‘Moisture, Moisture!’

  2. I loved all the Rubber Monsters each week. But that was what it turned into, the first couple of episodes in B&W are still very well done by today’s standards.

    1. The entire first season was in B&W. Second and third were in color, and it was then that the series lost its way IMHO. There are some fascinating articles and YouTubes out there describing how Johnathan Harris basically took over the show, much to everyone else’s chagrin, especially Guy Williams. He was sold the show on the fact that he would be the main character, the father figure holding the family together and then the Smoth character took over with his shenanigans-of-the-week. Sad, really. LIS had such potential, especially those first five episodes (culled together from the unaired pilot that had no robot or Dr. Smith).
