I thought Lost In Space was a very funny and entertaining series, as ridiculously silly as most of the episodes were. Star Trek, which was not really meant to be funny, as LIS clearly was, was a different type of thing. I like and watch both still to this day.
LiS had that same kind of feel of the various classic horror series (sci-fi being part of the horror genre) like Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Land of the Giants, The Invaders, ST; it wound up being more of a send-up, perhaps due to its budget. Comparisons to the near-contemporary Gilligan’s Island were obvious.
Looks like it’s coming back, btw:
