SERIES SYNOPSIS:
"Lost In Space" aired for three seasons between September 1965 through March 1968 and established itself as a classic TV cult phenomenon enjoyed by millions of fans. Before "Star Trek," the intrepid space family Robinsons traversed outside the intergalactic lanes in search of Alpha Centauri, the only habitable star system within the reach of man's technology. On October 16, in Fictional 1997, the Robinson Family takes off on the Jupiter 2 spacecraft for a journey to the planet Alpha Centauri. Before liftoff, Zachary Smith, an enemy government spy and intergalactic doctor, plans to destroy the spacecraft. But his plan backfires, and he becomes trapped on board. Smith accidentally destroys the Jupiter 2's guidance system and it becomes lost in space. Space Family Robinsons adventures begin, encountering galactic penal colonies, chasing Space Vikings, being trapped by fanatical toy makers, and even more sinister, being turned into giant vegetables!
