OMG,
I used to watch LIS every day after school in my bedroom, making crafts and things.
The little black & white TV sitting on my bed, and happily cutting out papers and using glue, watching Lost in Space.
I didn't realize it was only on for three seasons, a total of 83 episodes from 1965 to 1968. It seemed like it was on more than that.
I was three when they stopped filming it, so I must have caught it during repeats in the 70's. I know I was in school when I saw it. There's no way I'd remember the show if I watched it when I was three.

According to the second link in the post above, Bill Mumy spoke to Mark Goddard on his 87th birthday in late July. He says that he became aware that he and Mark would most likely never see or speak with each other again, so his death does not sound unexpected. If that's the case, his family at least was able to make the most of every day they had together.
We knew my dad was terminal, that he would most likely not live much longer than a year. We were very fortunate to have had him for Thanksgiving and Christmas (2005). I made sure they were two of the best holidays he had ever had. We had 8 months with him. He had good days and bad.
Hopefully Mark Goddard had some good days that he and his family had a lot of quality time, leaving nothing unsaid.

Rest in peace Mark.
Same with my mom.
She had cancer and they gave her 6 months to 2 years.
We sought to maximize every good minute. She was gone in 7 or so months.

June Lockhart is still alive (which I was aware of before Mark died).
One of my many TV crushes in the 60's..."Kiss Judy already, you know she wants you to!"
I love that he and Bill Mumy remained good friends all of these years.
One of my friends had a huge crush on "Don." I actually wanted him to wring Dr. Smith's neck as he threatened to do many times. The first season was a real science fiction program, but it degenerated to kiddy camp for the next two seasons. I always wondered how June Lockhart felt about those silly scripts since she was the big name on that show.
At least Billy Mummy turned his life around and is still with us. He seems to have a great sense of humor.
Always found, because of him, the name "Don" powerful......provided it is "Don"...and not Donald.

Think how Guy Williams must have felt when Jonathan Harris stole the show! Still, for that role, it probably strengthened it, it seemed like it, to deal with "Smith".
BUT, for good science fiction at the start, would it have lasted 3 seasons like that?
Back to our star of the moment, saw him on The Rifleman and Blue Sunshine. Further, his credits suggest I may come across him in other shows since I have a lot of those series.
Mark Goddard also was the villain Ted Clayton on One Life To Live for a few years. Reconciling the evil Ted Clayton with the handsome, wholesome Major West on Lost In Space initially was a tough chore for me as a teenager, LOL. That's why they call it acting ...
When I was a kid watching LIS, I had a thing for Mark Goddard. But then I also had a thing for James Stacy, Robert Conrad and Michael Landon.
