The fact that Billy Mumy was a producer and cowriter on this project only erodes the credibility he built up for himself by being half of the musical duo Barnes & Barnes (whose "Fish Heads" video was directed by character actor Bill Paxton). Was Mumy really "one of the busiest and most versatile child actors of the decade"? (Busiest, perhaps.) Was the premiere of the 1998 film version of Lost in Space really "the most eagerly anticipated in motion picture history"? Doubtful. But there are some nice moments pulled out of the archive. Clips from the original pilot are shown in length with no annoying commentary, and the screen test of Guy Williams (Prof. John Robinson) shows a charming man who might be described as a '60s version of George Clooney. Recommended for hardcore fans of the show who are willing to sort through the modern-day crap for the archival gems. --Andy Spletzer

Customer Reviews of Lost in Space Forever
This is a must for the "Lost in Space" fan This was one of the main reasons I bought my DVD player several years ago. For the "Lost in Space" this is a must. Although the television production is not that great, the extras are terrific, including outtakes and Guy William's screen test. Now that Jonathan Harris has left us, this DVD is even more special as he, Bill Mumy, and Bob May recreate their characters from the classic series one last time together.
Lost Forever-- Found at LAST!
WOW! I've really got to hand it to the producers of this programme. It is SPECTACULAR! I had heard about it when it was first broadcast in the States, but I couldn't find a copy ANYWHERE! Now, thanks to the folks at Foxstar Productions(who produced it) and Image Entertainment, HERE IT IS! One hour of GREAT information on Irwin Allen's BEST TELEVISION SERIES EVER! Hosted by TV's John Laroquette, it has everything from clips (galore) to interviews, bloopers, and scenes from the movie. But the BEST is at the END! There... RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES... JOHNATHAN HARRIS, BILL MUMY and THE ROBOT POP IN! ON THE SET OF THE JUPITER 2! IN CHARACTER! Unbeleveable, folks. As if all of this weren't enough, the DVD includes BONUS MATERIALS! Guy Williams COMPLETE screentest! Special effects bloopers! A behind-the-scenes featurette! The ORIGINAL CBS-TV network sales presentation (that was used by Irwin to promote the show to advertisers and toy companies)! What MORE could you ask for? How about GREAT picture, colour and sound quality! If you are reading this and haven't purchased one yet -- SHAME ON YOU. As for me? I was lucky to get a preview of the DVD from a friend who works at 20th Century Fox TV. I've already ordered mine! ENJOY!
One Last Trip Aboard the Jupiter 2
While the majority of this DVD is a rehash of other Lost in Space documentaries, it is worth purchasing for the last 10 minutes of the main feature - in which Dr. Smith and Will reappear aboard the pretty accuruate reconstruction of the Jupiter 2 - in full character and costume. The late great Johnathan Harris shows he can still play Dr. Smith to a tee. While its a shame he did not live to participate in the "Voyage Home" TV movie, this is the next best thing seeing these memorable characters give it one last show. Also interesting is the "making of" segment showing the filming of the final segment. No serious Lost in Space should be without having this DVD.
