cadaver's out there chawmpin' at the
bit, I have some<br>gift of gab here that's a real
eye-opener, which may cause some<br>chest-thumping, foaming
at the mouth and make you rear back on your<br>heels
and bellow, or belch happy tunes.<br><br>If any of
you die-hard LIS fans and hardcore Sci-Fi fans live
in the Los<br>Angeles area, or plan to visit LA
soon, you will be pleasantly surprised<br>to know that
there will be a big, bustling Confab there on June
16th,<br>with those special guests from the planet Altair IV...
including that<br>mechanical Robotoid celebrity; "Robby the
Robot"!!!<br><br>I borrowed the following bit of information from
the Sci-Fi Channel<br>website, in case any of you may
not have seen it. <br><br>I hope you all enjoy, if
you plan to attend!!! :-) <br><br><< Star Trek
alum George Takei will host the Forbidden Planet
cast<br>reunion at the Los Angeles Theater in Los Angeles,
Calif., on June 16.<br>Invited guests include Anne
Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Warren Stevens,<br>Richard
Anderson, James Drury, Earl Holliman, Bebe Baron, and Robby
the<br>Robot. >>
Well, considering the list and the shows that are
on it, it's pretty clear that the author is not
familiar with "Lost in Space" or most of the other series.
Look especially at "Mercy Point." That UPN program
only ran for about two episodes last fall. That's
hardly long enough to be judged as good or bad. It never
had a chance to develop into anything. Bottom line:
don't worry what Playboy says about LIS; their opinion
is not based on any factual information as far as I
can see. <br>Cheers/Rob
