The "LOST IN SPACE" season one episodes are compiled on one single layered and seven dual-layered discs (full frame, aspect ratio 1.33:1). Episodes are presented in black and white, with English mono and Spanish mono.
Last year, as you recall, Lost In Space fans around the world were petitioning Fox video for Lost In Space the classic series to be released on DVD format. Well now Fox has listened and on Tuesday January 13th LIS the Classic series on DVD will be available through retailer outlets such as Suncoast Video, Coconuts movie and music and such mail order outlets as Amazon.com.
The packaging that house the DVD's is beautiful. The front has a very nice picture of the J2 crew and the back of the box is also very attractive and has some pretty nice photos too.
The DVD's come in eight plastic sleeves that house one disc with three episodes per disc. Disc eight has episode 29 on it, "Follow The Leader," and also contains the rarely seen unaired pilot and the CBS Pitch Featurette. Fox also did include the cliffhanger to the second season opener " Blast Off Into Space" which appears at the end of " Follow The Leader" which is the last episode of season one.
Each disc case has an attractive sleeve in it. The front of each sleeve has a photo of an LIS crew member, the back has screen grab photos of each episode that is contained in that sleeve.
Picture and sound quality is crisp and clear and Fox did a great job with these season one prints in bringing them to life on these DVD's.
The episode menu on these discs are fabulous! Each disc has a different menu set up which makes each disc different.
I am sure everyone will be pleased with what Fox, with the assistance of Kevin Burns, has done with season one. It was definitely worth the wait!
To Be Continued!
