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:

Well, it did in the beginning with the B/W episodes of season 1. Got pretty far out later on in seasons 2 and 3. I've read that this had to do with them competing with the then very popular 'cartoon-like' Batman series.

I didn’t realize until now that you meant they’re planning on doing a remake of the LiS TV series. The movie looked so completely different than the original TV show I didn’t even consider going to see it, or looking for it on the internet since. This, like nearly every such remake, will more than likely also suck. But I’ll definitely check it out to see. Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong. Thanks for the link.

The premiere ep of LiS was top-notch sci-fi with a purely evil Dr. Smith. If they kept it in that vein, it would’ve remained an excellent series. Alas, it descended into kiddy comedy/caricature.
