Lost in Space, however, was unique from Allen's other science fiction shows for a variety of reasons. All 29 episodes of the first season of Lost in Space were filmed solely in black and white. However, in seasons 2 and 3, the film changed to vibrant color. The tone of the show also shifted drastically between seasons. At the time, trends in tv shows changed rapidly, and the creators knew the show would have to adapt. The wild changes in every season helped to keep the show running until it ended in 1968.

The constant changes to the tone of the series made it one of the more interesting television shows of the time period. The show focused on a family called the Robinsons, a zany family who pioneered the vast reaches of outer space. The first season was more adventurous, while the second season introduced more campy humor to keep up with new fashions and trends in television. By the third season, Lost in Space underwent a complete change. Rather than having each episode contribute to a larger arc, they became more anecdotal in nature. In this format, each episode brought a new adventure to the Robinson family as they
traveled through outer space.

Of course, no matter how religiously you may have watched this show, there are bound to be a few fun facts that you never noticed.
