[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 330125, member: 57984"] The first season is [B][I]sooooooooo [/I][/B]very different -- B&W (as the 1965/66 season was the last year an American primetime show could be broadcast in B&W) and more-or-less legit sci-fi for television. After that, as everyone seems to recognize, the show dropped into garish color camp-shlock with the robot ("Warning... warning... aliens approaching!!) and that special-guest-star queen ("Ohhhhh, the pain, the pain...!") at the center, all apocalyptically underscored rather niftily by a young "Johnny" Williams (who uses lots of bells to convey looming catastrophe). Guy Williams always looks to me a little like JFK (obviously resurrected to continue his series TV career), June Lockhart (isn't she still alive today, at 126??) and Billy Mumy proves yet again that [B]Moon in Capricorns[/B] make the best child actors (when they're not the worst, simpering like Shalane McCall -- which explains Victoria's shift from simpering crap actress to excellent actress circa 1982, and a birth certificate perpetually rolling forward to make her "twelve" when DALLAS started).
