Lost in Space/YMMV

From the show

• Crowning Music of Awesome: John Williams' theme song from season three.
• Memetic Mutation: "Danger, Will Robinson!"
  • "Oh, the pain!"
• Narm: Hoo boy. Probably most notable is the episode "The Great Vegetable Rebellion," where Mark Goddard has noted that during several shots you can see him deliberately not looking at the vegetable people so he wouldn't laugh.
• Values Dissonance: It's a standard overused joke nowadays that any sane parent wouldn't let Dr. Smith anywhere near Will Robinson. "Dear boy", indeed.
• Villain Decay: Doctor Smith went from a fiend planning to kill everyone on the ship for some vague reason to a prissy jerk who actually saved the crew sometimes. Unusually, this was actually at the request of his actor, Jonathan Harris, who feared that Smith would soon be killed off if he continued being a threatening villain.

From The Movie

• Dull Surprise: John Robinson, notoriously. Unfortunately he has the most screentime. In fact, the rest of the crew qualify too, apart from perhaps Major West, and certainly Penny and Dr. Smith.
• Narm: "I love you, wife."
• Nightmare Retardant: Spider Smith in the movie.
  • Still pretty damn terrifying for a little kid.
• What the Hell Casting Agency: Matt LeBlanc as Major West. Although the film's bad enough, and he plays every one-liner so straight, that imagining it as something Joey's been cast in actually improves it quite a lot.
  • And Heather Graham as Judy Robinson! I repeat- HEATHER GRAHAM as a scientist's daughter!!
  • LeBlanc actually does one of the best acting jobs in the movie, or at least is as believable as a gun-wielding man of action as any other action movie star is. If the movie had been better he might have had a chance of breaking out of his typecasting as Joey. As it is, it sunk any hopes he had of a movie career despite being one of the only people who didn't suck in it.
