       Damn, that list of people who we lost in 2023 had some names I didn't know, or forgot had passed:Robby Knievel (stunt cyclist), Tim McCarver (former baseball player and Mets broadcaster), Tom Sizemore (great actor), Kevin Mitnick (hacker), Michael Parkinson (Britain's Johnny Carson), Mark Goddard (Major Don from Lost in Space), Richard Moll (Bull), Marty Krofft (from Sid & Marty Croft productions).

       @Ricardus I always though "Lost in Space" was drivel. However, I saw an interview with Mark Goddard made long after the series was concluded. He also stated he felt it had been pretty silly, but that some of the stories during the show's first season "were actually science fiction." He earned a place of respect in my heart with that remark.Rest in Possibilities

       @stevensrmiller I loved Lost in Space. Major Don was always available to kick ass if needed.

       @Ricardus Heh, 8- or 9-year-old me found 14- or 15-year-old Penny oddly beguiling in a way I would not really understand for a few more years. But, that was also the same time in my life when I discovered science fiction, and how it was different from fairy tales and ghost stories. Once I knew what sf really was, Lost in Space never interested me again.

       @Ricardus Oh, yeah. I did love the robot. Pissed me off that the actor never got a credit for it. Still does, in fact.
