If this show would have gone the same route as the original, people would have given it crap because there was nothing original. And since it has not gone that way, people give it crap because it strayed from the original. A no win scenario. If you haven't watched the 60's original or have forgotten, let me refresh your memory. The first several episodes were not what you would call comical. Dr Smith was an evil, ruthless man with the intent on destroying the Robinsons and Jupiter II. As the show went from black and white to color, so did the tone of the show, characters, and over all scope of the show to what we all loved. Shows evolve, actors get "in the groove" of their parts and it all begins to flesh out as time goes. Give it a chance. Its not that bad. Yes lots of PC crap because if they don't go that way, the media will attack non stop and hurt the ratings. I don't like the pc stuff but that's the day we live in. You must have the right amount of races playing characters, you must have gay content, the list goes on. I'm on episode 4 and I think it already deserves another season. Much much worse TV being produced than this. So, enjoy
