Not a great Physics primer
I remember this as a hokey but good fun series from my childhood. Watching Season 1 again was a bit painful, apart from the fairly wonderful Jonathan Harris as Zachary Smith, an early incarnation as Dr Evil the most evil man in the world (or off it.)
Eventually the only way I could watch this was to sit on the sofa with my son and pull the stuffing out of it (the series, not the sofa.) Then it became really quite fun - okay so it wasn't supposed to be scientifically accurate (in fact you'll find Thunderbirds about ten times more believable, and the acting's slightly better too) but some of the goofs in this were hysterically funny.
My favourite is when Prof Robinson decides to land himself on the Earth-like planet they're orbiting in Jupiter II, with the aid of rocket powered 'parajets' which are about the size of car fire extinguishers, and elegantly strapped to our advenurer's wrists.
So he jumps out of the airlock, and with no other aid to deceleration falls towards 'Earth2'. At this point, we see that their ship may well be orbiting this Earth-sized planet but at a distance of about 250 thousand miles! Gee he's got a long way to go; couldn't they have parked a little closer to the kerb? If he just falls there it's going to take him a few years, even in an Apollo it's gonna be a week!
But wait, Dr Smith seems to have sabotaged his parajets and they don't work at all! Distances must be deceptive in space though, as only a minute or so later he's at 40,000 feet, although when we see him again he looks still to have a couple of hundred thousand miles to go!
Later we learn that the Prof did make a more or less safe landing, but as he explained it was rather lucky that he finally got his parajets to work when he was 100 feet from the ground. Wish we could have seen that - Prof Robinson, now reduced to a tiny lump of flaming charcoal after falling through the clone-Earth atmosphere at several thousand miles an hour manages to start deceleration with only a hundred feet to go. I make that a deceleration of about 300,000g, and all done by a pair of dinky wrist rockets. The only reason his arms weren't pulled off was because they'd been burned off way up there when he started to hit a bit of atmosphere.
Oh, and there's a great bit later when they have to head South in the Popemobile to stay warm in Winter (are they looking for Florida?) and there are dire warnings that the temperature is going to plummet to 10 degrees below zero (and they're all - of course - gonna die) a few seconds after sunset. So after a brief zip down the road in the piste-basher at about 10mph, the sun does indeed go down, so they stop for cosy picnic outdoors by the campfire!!!
And why oh why does Angela Cartwright (younger sister of Alien's Veronica) decide to christen the chimp-with-very-dodgy-barnet-bon net 'Debbie'. It's a hoot!
There's loads of this, and quite honestly it turns a pile of tosh into seriously funny entertainment.
Honestly I could work up a good stand-up comedy sketch from each episode - camp was the only way for this series to go, but one disc was enough for me. -

Great fun
If you remember this from the 1960s then you are in for a treat. The DVD editions of the Season 1 episodes are good quality and, while it's all very silly, it is good fun. Dr Smith is so wicked it is almost an art form. The regular actors are all effective and mostly photogenic; June Lockhart is very easy on the eye. Quite why the family treat life on another planet as a picnic so much of the time (and are then surprised when something nasty appears - as it invariably does) escapes me but you'll probably enjoy the adventures. By the end of the Box Set you may be a little weary but it'll have been a nice, nostalgic wallow.
