I really wanted to like this series. The special effects are excellent but that is about where it all ends. The writing is pretty amateurish, the acting is terrible. the father is pathetic in all respects and the mother is a pain. Dr. Smith's efforts to be nasty don't fit with her weak character acting and she just doesn't ring true.

I like the robot and his presence is enhanced by the lack lustre family he has been saddled with except maybe Will and Penny.

As dated as it is I think the original series had pizzaz this lot could only dream about. What a shame because besides looking good it is just awful.
