In the year 1997, the Robinson family leaves Earth in the Gemini 12 spaceship and sets out on a journey to be the first humans to colonize Alpha Centauri. Disaster strikes when their ship encounters a meteor storm, veers off course and crash-lands on an alien planet. By December 2001, after a delayed revival from suspended animation, the family has settled in over a six-month period and made the planet their home, but a severe winter is coming and they must journey south. Traveling in their all-terrain "chariot," the family encounters fearsome cyclopean monsters, survives a stormy sea, and explores the cave of an ancient civilization. Eventually they find a tropical region and set up a camp, but unbeknownst to them they are being observed by a pair of humanoid aliens. Guest stars: Don Forbes (TV Commentator), Ford Rainey (The President), Lamar Lundy (The Giant) No Place to Hide was colorized and appears as an extra on the Netflix Lost in Space Season 1 June 4, 2019 Blu-ray release.

On October 16, 1997 at about 8PM ET, the Robinson family departs from Cape Kennedy, Florida in the Jupiter 2 spaceship to colonize Alpha Centauri, but Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris), working as a saboteur for a foreign government, rigs the environmental control robot to destroy the ship's control systems within hours after take off. Events lead to Smith being trapped aboard the doomed ship, which encounters a meteor storm and veers light years off course. Soon, the robot becomes active and does further damage before it can be stopped.

He becomes untethered and his wife Maureen goes out to help him. Guest star: Hoke Howell (Sgt. Rogers) Note: This episode is the first regular pilot of the series.

The Professor, West and Dr Smith explore the ship and try to figure out the craft's advanced navigation system in hopes of locating Earth. Smith ventures off alone, believing the ship to be owned by his foreign government employers. Meanwhile, young Will Robinson ventures onto the alien ship and meets an alien creature. Smith stumbles upon Will trying to communicate with the alien but hastily shoots it with a laser gun. More aliens appear and the furious creatures chase everyone back to the Jupiter 2 which forces its way out of the alien ship to safety.

He decides to first check out the planet himself and goes off in a spacesuit with forearm mounted "Para-Jet" thrusters. The thrusters malfunction and contact is lost. Major West tries to land on the planet, but Dr. Smith demands they return to Earth and uses the reprogrammed robot to force his authority. West manages to subdue Smith but the Jupiter 2 falls from orbit and crashes on the planet. With everyone safe, West leads a mission in the Chariot to find the Professor. Meanwhile, Smith schemes a plan to escape the planet and orders the robot to eliminate all "non-essential personnel."

The Robinsons begin to make themselves at home on the strange alien world, growing plants and herding local animals for food. After checking a meteorological station, the professor learns that a severe cold front is coming which will drop the temperature to lethal levels. To make matters worse, the professor and Major West are attacked by a giant cyclopean creature that lurks in the area. The family decides to abandon the Jupiter 2 and head south to a warmer climate, but Dr. Smith refuses to go with them.

The Robinsons continue their journey south where they encounter a frozen sea and drive across the ice. Back at the Jupiter 2, Dr. Smith deals with the severe cold, but just when he's about to freeze solid the temperature begins to swiftly rise. The robot computes that the planet is in a peculiar orbit around its star and will eventually become superheated. Now at risk of burning up, Smith sends the Robot to find and warn the Robinsons, but when it arrives, Major West shoots it with a laser thinking Smith sent it to harm them. West's hasty decision puts him at odds with the Professor and tempers flare along with the blazing heat wave. Heading back to the ship, the amphibious Chariot must cross a now-thawed and rough sea.

6	6	"Welcome Stranger"	Alvin Ganzer	Peter Packer	October 20, 1965 (1965-10-20)
Will listens in to radio energies from space, but after Professor Robinson warns him that the frequencies could attract harmful energy from a storm, Smith misunderstands the explanation, fears an invader, and spots one on the radar scope. Will's outgoing signals were intercepted by a passing rocket ship that lands nearby. Appearing from the craft is a cowboy hat-wearing astronaut named Jimmy Hapgood. He explains he launched from Earth to Saturn in 1982, but veered off course when his guidance system failed and he has been lost in space ever since. Dr. Smith offers Hapgood the guidance system from the Robot as a gesture of good faith (but to enable Hapgood to give Smith a ride back to Earth). Meanwhile, the Professor and Maureen make a critical decision – knowing Hapgood's capsule, Traveling Man, can carry two more passengers, they ask him to take Will and Penny off the dangerous planet and back with him to Earth. Hapgood refuses to accept the responsibility and Dr. Smith tries to weasel his way into the passenger seat. Guest star: Warren Oates (Jimmy Hapgood)

Penny finds a cave where she is greeted by a curious voice that draws her inside to play. Later, she returns to the ship with stories of her new friend, "Mr. Nobody", who gave her shiny crystals as gifts. When Dr. Smith realizes the crystals are really diamonds, he tails Penny to the cave but is unable to get inside. He then tricks Major West into helping him blast the cavern open. Penny learns of the scheme and fears the blast could hurt her friend, but she is too late to warn him and is caught in a cave in when the explosives go off. Thinking Penny is dead, the formless entity threatens to punish those who have hurt her with a powerful wrath. Note: This was the last episode to be scored by John Williams.

Dr. Smith is beamed onto an alien ship that is bigger on the inside than on the outside. There, two mouthless, floating heads tell him of their need for a replacement computer, but their technology requires the direct use of a human brain. After detecting treachery in Smith's mind, the aliens decide his brain is unreliable — much to Smith's relief — but they force him to provide them with another brain and fit him with a control collar which will kill him if he doesn't comply. To save his own neck, Smith decides to hand young Will over to the aliens and cons the boy into entering their ship. Meanwhile, the Robinsons come looking for their son and must save him before the aliens take him away.

While enduring another heat wave, the Robinsons try to conserve their dwindling supply of drinking water, but Dr. Smith selfishly uses the last of it for a shower. In their desperate search for more water, they find some delicious-looking fruit growing in an oasis and take it back to the ship. Smith however, finds the fruit and eats it before making sure it's safe. He then fears that he has been deliberately poisoned, accuses the Robinsons of trying to kill him and he runs away. As the men search for Smith, Penny's little pet Bloop, Debbie, eats some of the fruit and grows to a human size. Likewise, Smith is found to have grown to a giant size and he threatens to crush the Robinsons in revenge for what he thinks they did to him.

Meanwhile, Dr. Smith is approached by the alien's scout robot, but he considers it an attack and thinks their new neighbors are hostile. Problems arise when attempts to communicate with the aliens become futile because they do not speak verbally. Later, Will encounters the aliens' playful child, but the boy suddenly falls ill and Will takes him to a cave to rest.

Word of the magical machine reaches the Robinsons who want to use the device as well, but their eventual greed forces the Professor to get rid of it.

Smith then returns with more than enough fuel for everyone to return to Earth, but the duplicate canister is found to be made of useless vegetable matter. Meanwhile, having absorbed the deutronium, the flowers grow to enormous size and spread everywhere. Attracted by their beauty, Judy is lured closer to a flower, lays down on it and it closes its petals over her.

With the thieves looking for a place to lie low, Zumdish contacts Dr. Smith who learns the "vacationers" are willing to spend much money for some R & R. With the rest of the Robinsons off on a survey mission, Smith turns the empty Jupiter 2 into a 5-star resort with Will as the bellboy and the Robot laboriously filling every other position a hotel needs. Guest stars: Fritz Feld (Zumdish), Richard Krisher (MXR), Eric Matthews (QZW), Edy Williams (NON), Carroll Roebke (TAT)
73	14	"Castles in Space"	Sobey Martin	Peter Packer	December 20, 1967 (1967-12-20)
Major West, Judy, Will, Dr. Smith and the Robot are on a mission to install a radar station when Smith stumbles upon a being frozen in a block of ice. While standing guard, Smith carelessly places a thermal blanket over the ice and it melts releasing an alien princess. Soon, a silver-skinned bounty hunter-turned desperado named Chavo arrives and holds Will captive under the guard of fake soldiers. Chavo then demands West surrender the ice woman or he will harm the boy. West challenges Chavo to a duel to save her instead. Guest stars: Alberto Monte (Chavo), Corinna Tsopei (Princess Reyka)
74	15	"The Anti-Matter Man"	Sutton Roley	K.C. Alison	December 27, 1967 (1967-12-27)
While conducting a power experiment, Professor Robinson brings forth an evil double of himself from a parallel universe. The double takes him back to an anti-matter world where a sinister clone of Major West also exists. Trying to find the Professor, Will and the Robot recreate the experiment and venture to the alternate dimension, but they bring back the anti-matter duplicate instead (thinking it's the real Professor). Everyone suspects something is wrong as the Professor acts cruel, demanding, paranoid and casts no shadow (they are, however, completely unaware that he keeps hidden a skin tag "collar" that physically distinguishes him from the real Professor). Will then sneaks away to find his real dad, followed by the anti-Professor and later Smith and the Robot. After escaping his cage, the real Professor meets up and fights his anti-self, winning and bringing the universe to its normal state.
75	16	"Target Earth"	Nathan Juran	Peter Packer	January 3, 1968 (1968-01-03)
While in space, Dr. Smith separates the Robot's upper body from his track section which wheels itself into the space pod and takes off. The Robinsons chase the pod to a nearby planet where it lands amidst an alien city. There, the crew encounter a race of bloblike creatures that all look the same. Wanting to experience human individuality, the aliens take the form of the crew and hijack the Jupiter 2 on a course for Earth. Will and Smith, having sneaked aboard, try to sabotage the ship and warn Earth that their ship has been taken over by hostile aliens. Guest stars: Jim Gosa (Gilt Proto)
76	17	"Princess of Space"	Don Richardson	Jackson Gillis	January 10, 1968 (1968-01-10)
On a search to find a missing Princess, a space captain named Kraspo believes Penny is the girl he is looking for. Will tries to convince the captain that he's made a mistake, but Penny passes all his tests to verify her identity including feeling a pea hidden under a mattress. Once Dr. Smith learns he could live like royalty serving Penny in her kingdom, he tries to convince the bewildered girl to accept the situation. Meanwhile, Will overhears Kraspo's robotic crew plotting a mutiny to take over during Penny's coronation ceremony. Guest stars: Robert Foulk (Kraspo), Arte Johnson (Fedor), Sheila Allen (Aunt Gamma)
77	18	"Time Merchant"	Ezra Stone	Bob & Wanda Duncan	January 17, 1968 (1968-01-17)
While conducting an experiment to capture cosmic energy, Will inadvertently traps Chronos, an alien who controls time. Furious at Will for interfering with his business, Chronos forces the boy to return with him to his factory. When Professor Robinson learns what happened, he and the Robot pursue the alien, followed by Dr. Smith. When Smith learns Chronos' machine can transport him through space as well as time, he "steals" a ride back to Earth in 1997, hours before the launch of the Jupiter 2. Chronos warns Robinson that unless Dr. Smith is on board the Jupiter 2 at liftoff, the ship will eventually be destroyed by an uncharted asteroid and the Robinsons and Major West will all be killed. Guest star: John Crawford (Dr. Chronos), Byron Morrow (General Squires), Hoke Howell (Sgt. Rogers) Note: Regulars June Lockhart and Mark Goddard appear only in a "flashback" sequence filmed specifically for this episode. Marta Kristen and Angela Cartwright appear only in reused footage from the pilot episode.

The Robinsons finally arrive at their destination, the Alpha Centauri system, but they are surprised to find an Earth colony already established there. Another oddity is that it only seems to be populated by teenagers who try to brainwash Penny and Will into rebelling against the "olders". When Dr. Smith snoops around, he discovers the teens are really aliens in human guise, but they give Smith his youth back and make him forget what he saw. The aliens, who never grow older-minded than adolescents, try to discover what makes the human children mature. Guest stars: Gil Rogers (Bartholomew), Keith Taylor (Edgar), Ezra Stone (Computer Voice)

Major West and Dr. Smith encounter Creech, an alien fugitive who forcibly swaps his prison shirt for Smith's jacket and flees the scene just as prison guards arrive. West and Smith then find themselves accused of aiding the criminal and stand trial before a computerized judge. Will and the Robot act as their legal counsel, but the two are found guilty as charged and sent to the notorious prison planet Destructon to serve life sentences, along with Creech who is captured by the Robot just as the trial is ending. There Smith is convinced by Creech of his escape plan, but West refuses and is knocked unconscious and carried away by Creech. Will and the Robot learn that Smith and West were framed so the warden can find where Creech was planning to escape, leading him to hidden billions in Deutronium. Creech gets killed entering the Devil's Quadrant and the warden gives Smith and West their pardon. Guest stars: Michael Conrad (Creech), Tol Avery (Warden), Charles Horvath (Guard #1) Notes: Regulars Guy Williams, June Lockhart, Marta Kristen and Angela Cartwright do not appear in this episode (see The Great Vegetable Rebellion). Mark Goddard, Jonathan Harris, and Bill Mumy are the only main cast members to appear in this episode. This episode was in production at the same time as Planet of the Apes, and John Chambers' make-up was tested during this episode. Jonathan Harris was offered a part in POTA, but declined because he found the 4-hour make-up process to be daunting.
80	21	"Space Beauty"	Irving J. Moore	Jackson Gillis	February 14, 1968 (1968-02-14)
The space traveling showman Farnum B. returns seeking contestants for a Miss Galaxy pageant and sets his sights on Judy when his mysterious sponsor demands she enter. Judy turns down the offer, but Dr. Smith, knowing he could profit greatly for signing her up, coerces her into signing a contract. When Major West reads the fine-print he learns the winner of the contest must be given over to the sinister being who is made of fire and comes from a dark world without beauty. Guest stars: Leonard Stone (Farnum), Dee Hartford (Nancy Pi Squared), Miriam Schillar (Miss Teutonium) Note: Regulars Guy Williams and June Lockhart do not appear in this episode (see The Great Vegetable Rebellion).
81	22	"The Flaming Planet"	Don Richardson	Barney Slater	February 21, 1968 (1968-02-21)
The Jupiter 2 passes through a radiation storm and Dr. Smith's alien plant mutates, growing into an intelligent monster. He dumps it out the airlock, but it attaches to the hull and endangers the ship. The Professor takes the ship into a planet's atmosphere to burn it off the hull, but the inhabitant of the world attacks and drains the ship's energy. Stuck in orbit, Major West forces Smith to go with him down to the planet to talk to the attacker – an alien called the Sobram. The being offers to spare the Jupiter 2 only if the Robot stays behind and plays a wargame with him. Unbeknown to all, the plantlike creature has made it to the surface and begins to multiply into an army of its own – and becomes a far better challenge for the Sobram. Guest stars: Abraham Sofaer (Sobram)
82	23	"The Great Vegetable Rebellion"	Don Richardson	Peter Packer	February 28, 1968 (1968-02-28)
While Don and the Robinsons celebrate the Robot's birthday, Dr. Smith sneaks off in the space pod to a planet dominated by intelligent flora. After picking a flower, Smith is accused of murder by Tybo, the carrot-man who rules this world. Tybo sentences Smith to an eternity of literal tree-hugging. The J2 crew lands to search for Smith, but instead they find Willoughby: a purple-haired botanist who is Tybo's aide-de-camp. With Dr. Smith mutating into a stalk of celery, and Penny into a flower bed, it's up to Will and Judy to find them all, and the Professor and Don to save the day by sabotaging the planet's weather-control system. Guest stars: Stanley Adams (Tybo), James Millhollin (Willoughby the Llama), Jerry Traylor (Plant) Notes: In 1997 TV Guide ranked this episode number 76 on its '100 Greatest Episodes of All Time' list. [2] Guy Williams and June Lockhart ruined so many takes of this episode by "corpsing" (in other words, they were unable to keep straight faces while filming) that both were suspended without pay for two episodes' worth of work; their characters were written entirely out of "Fugitives in Space" and "Space Beauty." [3] This episode is a rare occasion where Judy (rather than Penny, the Robot, or Dr. Smith) serves as Will's companion and assistant as he works to rescue the others.
83	24	"Junkyard in Space"	Ezra Stone	Barney Slater	March 6, 1968 (1968-03-06)
A fire breaks out aboard the Jupiter 2 and the Robinsons must land on a nearby planet to make repairs. They momentarily lose contact with the Robot, who has taken the space pod to scout ahead. Upon landing, the family discovers the entire planet is a massive junkyard run by a strange metallic junkman who has no intention of letting the Robinsons leave. When the ship's food supply becomes contaminated by a "rust blight," Dr. Smith bargains with the junkman for food, offering parts from the Robot to replace the junkman's own degrading circuits. The junkman eventually sets his sights on Jupiter 2, and after upgrading himself with the Robot's parts, he steals the ship with Dr. Smith aboard and leaves the Robinsons behind. Will follows in the space pod hoping the Robot's memory banks, now part of the junkman, can influence a change of heart. Guest star: Marcel Hillaire (Junkman) Notes: While this episode was in production, the cast and crew were informally led to believe that the series had been renewed for a fourth season. At least one script (the planned fourth season premiere "Malice in Wonderspace" [4] ) was written; some accounts claim as many as five scripts were prepared. However, less than two months later, in May 1968, CBS announced they had cancelled the series and no fourth season was produced. The end of episode teaser trailer was for "Condemned of Space" as the series now went into summer reruns.
