It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Weekenders!

Sorry - this is Sundays blog but it is published a day early. My fault. Please scroll down to see Saturdays blog, and read them both. Oops!

You know what I did Friday night?

I watched the first 2 episodes of the original 'Lost in Space' show from 1965. I used to love that show. I rented (from Netflix) Disc 1 of the very first season.

I didn't even realize it was in black and white, I thought it was just because we had a black and white TV!

Anyway - I didn't remember as much about the show as I thought I did.

I didn't remember the name of the ship (the Jupiter II), the ridiculous balloon like thing that was a sophisticated system, and that poor, delicate Mom fainted about once an episode so that Dad could gather her in his arms and gaze at her lovingly. Aaaawwww....

I also didn't remember that Dr. Smith (who I did remember as a conniving, whining menace) tried to kill them all in the first episode before he got stranded aboard! Sorry if that was a spoiler for anyone...

I don't believe I'll rent the other 8 or 10 discs, but it WAS fun to see the original episodes, however hokey they may be. I do want to find the disc where Billy Mumy got to go back to earth briefly - that was my favorite episode.

TTFN and have a nice Sunday!
