Are You Old Enough to Remember This?

[bookslover]

Robert Kinoshita, an art director for films and television who designed the robot for the TV series Lost in Space (1965-1968) ("Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!"), died recently at the age of 100.

Even as a 15-year-old boy, I knew the series was doomed when the space travelers got attacked by talking rocks...

I have a timer for my coffee machine which uses Robbie the robot (Forbidden Planet) wav file, "Your coffee is ready sir"

Do you mean that "Bubble-headed booby," that "Addlepated armorbearer," that "Bellicose bumpkin"...?

Peace,
Alan

They made it home because I saw Penny in Austria.

I loved it as a kid, but now find it quite campy when set next to Star Trek.

The show came out before I was born but I watched it in reruns when I was boy. I loved the show.

I remember the first run of syndication, but not the original episodes. I existed then, but I was not old enough to be "lucid."

Oh the pain...the pain!

I used to love watching that show in reruns. I liked the second version of the theme song better. Wow, 100 years old!

I enjoyed it as a kid. Now enjoy its reruns on the MeTV (MemorableTV) channel here in Arizona.

That's how I have heard of this show too.

I can remember watching it although I cannot really remember much about it.

Forbidden Planet good. Lost In Space bad.

The chimp with Spock ears "bloop bloop" Classic.
Gotta love Gilligans Island too, they made everything on the island bar the Eifel Tower, but couldn't fix the boat.

It turns out he was the same guy who did the robot for "Forbidden Planet." That's why the two robots sort of resemble each other.
