Our friend Kevin Burns has dipped deep into the archives and unearthed rare shots of the robot being rescued by John Robinson from deep space in the beginning of "The Condemned of Space."
Shots include 4 shots of Guy Williams suiting up, a test run of the spacewalk effect (Guy isn't wearing a helmet) and 3 shots of the robot floating helplessly outside the J2.
Other images from this same photo shoot were used in the July 22 1967 TV Guide article How Do You Make A Robot Fly?
The beginning of the third season finds the Robinsons having to quickly leave the planet they are on, which is a similar plot to the beginning of the second season. Once in space, the robot is swept overboard and has to be rescued. Then the Robinsons find a prison ship filled with cryogenically preserved prisoners. The prisoners have been interred past their normal sentences due to a malfunctioning timepiece on the prison ship. Professor Robinson repairs the timepiece and frees the prisoners. Robby the Robot makes another appearance, threatening Professor Robinson and Major West.
One of my favorite episodes from the series and a great way to kick off season three. New opening theme, cast credits and outfits, accompany this fantastic hour of tv. Lots of great action as Professor Robinson must go out of the J2 which is in flight and save the Robot that has been accidentally cast adrift via Dr Smith. Robby the Robot is back again after a long absence and is a prison guard here. As far as bloopers go, when Will and Smith look into one of the prisoner chambers through the window watch as one of the prisoners clearly moves his arm. Guess he was kinda cold in there yikes! Despite a few moments of nonsense The Condemned Of Space is a great way to start year three off.
