Btw, many Lost in Space fans don't seem to realize it but the Lost in Space movie has an easter egg in it, too...many of the main characters are introduced with the actor who played them in the old TV series. For example, Maureen Robinson is first shown talking with Will's principal...who was played by the woman who played Maureen in the show. The old actress who once played Judy was one of the reporters at the beginning and the reporter who gave the last question was the one who had once played Penny before switching to the new Penny Robinson ironically answering the reporter's question.
Btw, I ended up catching the first few eps of the series and the movie had so many parallels to it. And as silly as the movie got it never came close to the silliness of the series. I guess the reason so many old fans didn't like the movie was because the modern values woven in (in the movie the women actually have spines rather than being submissive pretty things, for example) which messed up its nostalgia value.
