Actually, "The Great Vegetable Rebellion" is widely considered the worst episode of Lost in Space ever made. Allowances are made for other opinions, though. ; )
Also, Dr. Smith wasn't "in Orange" in that episode. He was turned into a stalk of celery, which would be green. The character of Tybo the Carrot wasplayed by Stanley Adams ("in Orange"). Sadly, Mr. Adams committed suicidein 1977. Hopefully the role of Tybo the Carrot wasn't a contributing factor.

Here is a somewhat little known fact about Lost in Space and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. They were both produced by Irwin Allen, and sometimes had the same monsters on both shows. One week the monster would be walking around under the water, other times on a alien planet :)

i'm assuming that all shows kinda recycled there props here and there, as a budget thing.
like take the red dress used in several UFO episodes disscused not to longago, i guess since each episode wasn't suppose to continue on into the next week[s] they figured what the heck. i only mentioned the carrot episode so people would realize thst UFO was'nt as bad as some of the other 60's or 70's sci-fi shows out there. now back to our regular disscusion of the UFO tv show scott............. > Here is a somewhat little known fact about Lost in Space and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Actually it was quite a common practice amongst producers with limited
Budgets. The original Doctor Who did that all the time. Scenery was usually ripped off other TV Programs. One Doctor Who episode (whose name I can't remember, but think it was one of the E-Space ones, it definitely came from one of the ones that came on DVD because the producer recognised the piece of set) actually had a piece of scenery that came from Blake's 7. And even earlier in the Patrick Troughton era, the Robots from The Mind Robber were actually taken from Out of the Unknown (a very little known (at least nowadays thanks to nearly all the episodes being wiped from existence. Thanks BBC!!) program from the 60's dealing with mainly Science Fiction stories, a separate one in each episode, kind of like The Twilight Zone) Also I believe that in at least one episode from Doctor Who, one of the producers revealed that one of the scenery items was actually nicked from Space 1999. Also costume designs were taken and used in different episodes (usually painted different colours) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

This is SO weird!!!!!!!! I have a psychiatrist name Dr. Smith but I think he refuses to wear orange unless it's a bow tie. He's semi retired but works with prisoners that wear orange uniforms. And, I'm not a prisoner either.I'm a PRIVATE PATIENT. He's yet to give me a shot but he does prescribe my pills.

Part of the Moonbase set turns up in episodes of Doctor Who, as well. 'Revenge Of The Cybermen' and at least one other from the Tom Baker era. James |

Two UFO moonbase suits show up in a Space:1999 episode "Mission of the Darians (???)" ???, the one with the huge multigenerational starship whose reactors explode killing & devolving the crew into backwards savages.

I believe the suits were from Moon Zero Two, but one of the helmets is saidto be from UFO. Miss Ealand's typewriter from UFO can be seen on Paul Morrow's desk in 1999 too.
The UFO consoles were rented out by Century 21 Film Props and appeared dozens of times in Dr Who in the 70s and 80s. The next issue of Andersonic has a feature on the Anderson props and costumes that reappeared in other productions. Some unexpected places they ended up in, too. > > > Two UFO moonbase suits show up in a Space:1999 episode "Mission of the Darians (???)" ???, the one with the huge multigenerational starship whose reactors explode killing & devolving the crew into backwards savages. > Dave H. > |

Moon Zero Two (1969) is a glorious timepiece; highly recomended. The science is largely accurate, but stapled to the most hoary old western-style plot and characters. The lead (James Olson) sees his girlfriend (AdrienneCorri) gunned down in front of him, and in the very next scene is loving it up with catherine Schell! Priceless. It has a great animated cartoon credits sequence, with a great '60s rockin theme tune. Shame it was a bust at the box office.
It is increasingly hard to get as well, as it came out about a year ago on DVD in a double bill with the uncut X version (now probably a 15 in the UK;R in the US) of When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1969). This is initially a Best-Buy only discs, but late in 2008 it was released all over the US. Still hard to get and more expensive than several of the other former BB exclusives. MZ2 seems to have influenced - visually at least - both UFO (1969-70) and Space: 1999 (1974-6). Indeed leading lady Catherine schell guested in the first series of 1999 (Guardian of Piri) and became a regular in series two.
