Received yesterday in the mail. Marathoned it all night. Have watched 14 episodes so far. This Blu Ray Set totally blows away the DvD set I purchased 10 years ago. The oversize cast member picture cards are cool & the B 9 robot blue prints are also. I just might buy an extra set to put aside. Sound quality is superior to the original DVD release. The picture quality is beyond top notch watching it on My Samsung model # un40ju7100 40 inch 4 K TV. If you like the old Lost in Space show You need to add this to your collection !

If you're reading this, I'm sure it's not because you want to know if the show is good enough to spend money on the series.
You likely want to know if the quality is worth the asking price.
I am thrilled to confirm that it appears someone has actually spent quality time remastering the films these episodes were stored on.
It's immaculate in its presentation. The contrast is spot on resulting in a less than 3D viewing experience, but definitely superior to a high quality DVD. IF there's any complaint at all, for me is the sharpness seems to be turned up a tad too much... and no, it's not just the grain in the fil (though, the grain is nicely preserved).
The audio is glorious mono, but unfortunately, they didn't opt for PCM UNCOMPRESSED as criterion discs would offer. Regardless, the image is clean, weighty, and solid.
I highly recommend getting your copy before they're gone! You'll love the broadcast presentations which include the commercials and sponsorships of the day. (You can opt to not play that version, too).

Great Set, but frustrating disc packaging

Lost in Space TV series brings back pleasant childhood memories of watching this show with the family all together in the living room around a single television. My how times have changed! Even as a child I initially enjoyed this program, but became disappointed as the series progressed since I was "spoiled" by another sci-fi series which was more cerebral and adult in nature, i.e. Star Trek. After all these years, it was fun to revisit Lost in Space on Blu-ray. The video quality and transfers for a 1960's show are excellent. This is a great set to own and enjoy with nostalgia for that time. My complaint for this box set lies with the disc packaging. The discs are packaged in season sets (good) which consist of fan-fold cardboard sleeves which hold the discs tightly (bad). It is difficult to grab a small exposed edge of the disc and pull it out. For some reason, seasons one and two are folded in such a way that 2 discs face each other and you pull toward the center to remove making it even more difficult to remove a disc due to interference with the adjacent disc. But season 3 fanfolds in a manner such that the discs are removed pulling to an outside edge. That makes season 3 just a bit easier to deal with, but still frustrating. To minimize damage to the discs/package from repeated removal/insertion when viewing (since I do not completely watch an entire disc at one sitting) I put the disc I am viewing into an empty standard DVD case.

Having watched this as a kid I've always loved this show. When LiS was first out on DVD I had to pick it up and they only released it half a season at a time - very costly but one of my favs next to Star Trek. So seeing this as a complete series on BluRay was a no brainer for me. Yeah it's campy and somewhat dumb at times especially compared to today's sci-fi but it's part of my youth that I enjoyed. Now I can enjoy it over and over again and again. "DANGER, DANGER Will Robinson!" "Shut up you bumbling booby"

Getting Lost in "Lost in Space"

Great set. The packaging is not the greatest, but it's not nearly as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be. If it's stored on a shelf, it's going to be fine. Just treat it with care. Also, if you widen the slits that the discs slide into just a bit, it makes them easier to remove & replace. LOADS of extra features that will keep you entertained for hours, and the quality of the video and sound is fantastic.

My Favorite 60s Show

What a wonderfully fun show. I grew up in the 80s, and never really got to watch this show until the 90s. I used to have them all on Video Cassette. I love having them on Blu-Ray, now.
If I have one gripe, it's that the picture is very grainy in the B&W Season One. I can't tell / don't know if the original footage is that grainy, or if it's just the transfer.
Otherwise, it is AWESOME to have my favorite old show, silly as it can be sometimes, on the next-highest visually-appealing format available (4K being the highest - we'll see if they decide to do that later, or not).

I have been looking for "Lost in Space" as a complete series for quite some time and had only been able to find it available broken up into different volumes. When I found out that it was available on Blu-ray as a complete series I was very excited. The remastered picture is awesome and looks crystal-clear. I am very happy with this purchase.

Rewatching this series really brought me back to being a kid. I'm only 31, so obviously I always watched reruns on what used to be the SciFi Channel, but still... I have been slowly realizing that 60s TV was a bit of a golden age. This Lost in Space set is crammed with extras and fun doodads like robot blueprints and a script. It's a bit pricey, but I got it on cyber Monday for only $60. Highly recommended.
