in 1968, this show costed $250,000 per episode. Converting that to the modern dollar, that ranges from $1.5-3 million, depending on the index you use. I have rediscovered this gem from my childhood, thanks to Hulu. Comparing it to other Irwin Allen productions of the same era, the acting in this was not that bad, the characters likable, and the effects still stand up, even 40+ years later. I have heard Fitzhue compared to Dr. Smith, but where Fitzhue was surely a heal, he was not pure evil and self serving like Smith. I still love Lost in Space, but rediscovering this intelligent, well made show has given me a good second choice for favorite 60s sifi! I would love to see some of these props, I bet they would be a cool museum!
