Lost in Space was saved by the hilarious Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris).
[to the Robot] Unhand me, you mechanical moron.
[to anyone in earshot] Oh, the pain the pain.
Etc.
As a little kid, I always had an extremely uneasy impression of Dr. Smith, beyond being an underhanded traitor. I realized later he came across to me a a creepy child molester. I have no idea what he was like in real life, but his role just reeked of it to me.
I have to clarify-that was my impression about Jonathan Harris, not reality. In reality he was married to his childhood sweetheart until he died. I realized my post would impugn him if I didn’t clarify.
