Top contributor wm58 Apr 07, 2015 Me want! Me want it Baad! redwing69 Apr 07, 2015 I'm confused... the specs say Full Screen, but the promo clip shows both Full Screen and Wide Screen. Will you have the option on playback of either aspect ratio? That would be great.

But if not, which one is it?

jayembee Apr 07, 2015 @redwing -- When they created the HD masters, they also created 16x9 versions of them. The episodes as they appear on the discs will be in the 1.33:1 OAR. The 16x9 versions will be available as digitial copies/downloads. I imagine they'll also be offered for syndication.

DB5 Apr 07, 2015 Got my preorder in with the recent Foxconnect sale, looking forward to this. dgness Apr 07, 2015 This will command top dollar. Will stick with what I have.

For $200 at Foxconnect, I don't think so!

Rich65 Apr 07, 2015 Pre- Ordered my set for $99.98 at Wondercon this past weekend, looking forward to this set.

lesco Apr 07, 2015 Listening to the cast commentary for 'The Great Vegetable Rebellion' is bound to be a hoot. IndianaJ Apr 07, 2015 Whats the deal? This was just posted today and I went out to Foxconnect.com/wondercon to preorder it and instead of 99.98 as advertised in this posting it is 199.99. I guess the price was for last weekend only. They should let you know. Hopefully it will be on sale again before it comes out. uther Apr 07, 2015 Screen Format: 1.33:1, Thank goodness.

Rich65 Apr 07, 2015 Only thing I can think of is the $99.98 price on foxconnect.com was to match the Wondercon price for the weekend only.

jayembee Apr 07, 2015 @IndianaJ: "Whats the deal? This was just posted today and I went out to Foxconnect.com/wondercon to preorder it and instead of 99.98 as advertised in this posting it is 199.99.

Yes, the $99.99 price was for the weekend only. There's little doubt -- at least in my mind -- that Amazon will be offering this for 50% off or thereabouts at some point before it gets released.

CandyStalker Apr 07, 2015 Would LOVE to view the extras, but the show itself is painfully bad for anyone above the age of ten who doesn't suffer from a mental deficiency. Mumy for President!!

ddwall Apr 07, 2015 Pre-orderd for $69.99 at foxconnect. Glad I did not miss out on that deal and I am in my fifty's and I think the show is great fun.

DB5 Apr 07, 2015 Rich65 what you said is correct, there was also a $30 coupon code for signing up for the foxconnect newsletter which brought the total down to $69.99 shipped.



http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=259932 uther Apr 07, 2015 I pray that the other Fox owned Irwin Allen classics will show up in HD. LucasM2012 Apr 08, 2015 When this was only that YouTube set of clips back when they were first planning this, the company had just done the samples 'on spec'. What they pointed out was that the original filmed aspect ratio was that of standard 35mm, because that was how the show was filmed (and they asked opinions about what would be preferred if a Blu-ray set were released). The standard 35mm negatives meant that there was slightly more than 1.33:1 ratio to what was filmed. It is upsetting that the little bit extra that was filmed at the two edges was - apparently - 'discarded' when mastering these discs.



I am rather irritated that they did not leave that little bit extra on each side for those who might like seeing all of what was in the 35mm master camera negatives, while giving the option (either via menu, or TV cropping) to make it the televised 1.33:1.



But had they gone with the hack-job 16x9 I wouldn't even have considered getting these. markjdye Apr 08, 2015 I LOATHE Dr. Smith. tom_k35 Apr 08, 2015 Maybe they'll keep the filmed aspect ratio (1.37?). When the Dick Van Dye show was remastered for blu-ray, they kept the extra image on the sides. BluToMe Apr 08, 2015 Confession (tongue-in-cheek):

Now that I am much older, I realize that I watched the show because I had a nerd-on for the ladies of the show. Alas, it seemed that every episode degenerated much too soon into a crappy Dr. Smith/Will Robinson travesty that I changed channels from. My darker side imagined John Robinson (Guy Williams) dispatching Dr. Smith by Zorro's sword as useless cargo.

Pass.

twardyyy Apr 08, 2015 Wow, never thought I'd see the day. My dad is gonna absolutely flip his s*** when he finds out about this. GDG-013 Apr 08, 2015 I bet the 1.78 ratio will either be released later (much later perhaps). It also remains another guess as to whether extras included now would be included in a possible, future release; forcing a double-dip. Digital delivery is crap, with it being cumbersome to download, store and view without a lot of 'overhead' available to do so. Plus, the digital delivery files would undoubtedly be more compressed too; not that he Blu-ray copies may fair much better even on a disc.

doctorD Apr 08, 2015 Like I said before, day 1 for me. Now bring on The Green Hornet. uther Apr 08, 2015 @doctorD, No! Just kidding...

monque Apr 08, 2015 Day 1

mikek58 Apr 09, 2015 This I will pick up on release date albey000 Apr 09, 2015 It will be good if they do the coding right ? Old Film = Old look ( Gritty and organic with a nice layer of film grain ). Old films which have been digitally processed to look like Video - look crap. uther Apr 09, 2015 @albey000, I agree but it cannot be counted on which is why I always wait until screen caps come out.

Cheers hilts Apr 10, 2015 Is there any living human being who can write about Lost In Space without using the phrase "Danger, Will Robinson"? I realize the news text is probably verbatim from a press release. I'm surprise they did not TM the word 'Danger'.



On topic, this is spectacular news. I'm jacked.

Khemin Apr 10, 2015 Yet another example of no notice given to anyone of the sale. And only after it's over do we find out about it. And that, not the sale itself, is what so obviously "pisses off fans."

Top contributor Count Orlok Apr 10, 2015 Can't wait to pick it up! I'm new to older shows, but they're so much fun! Way better than the crap on tv today! macfan Apr 11, 2015 Khemin:



You need to come out from under your rock once in a while. The sale was posted on several web sites including some not even related to blu rays but just everyday deals. I was able to not only get the sale price but the 30% off coupon with no problem at all. Stealthy Apr 11, 2015 macfan:



Yeah, but they quickly made the 30% off coupon NOT applicable to the 'Lost In Space' blu-ray set long before the sale was over -- for that reason, I'll stick with my DVDs. Suck it, Fox. uther Apr 11, 2015 @Stealthy, more punishing yourself then Fox.

johnv Apr 12, 2015 Lost in Space and Buffy are my number 1 shows to be on Blu-ray, one down and one to go!!!!!!!!!!

Pre-order for 69.99 at foxconnet, wow its back up to 199.99. I can't wait to get it Sept 15. lostboy408 Apr 13, 2015 Maybe it's just me, I feel like the show in 1.33:1 looks better. It's pretty evident when they shift it to 1.78:1 as a small bit but highly distracting amount of the frame is clipped
