In the 1960s, CBS invited viewers to get shipwrecked on Gilligan's Island and get stranded amongst the far reaches of the stars in Lost in Space. Viewers who fell in love with the latter might know that the 50th anniversary of the show's premiere episode takes place this fall, and to celebrate the occassion, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is giving fans the ultimate gift: the complete series of Lost in Space on Blu-ray.
Blu-ray.com reports that Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release all episodes of Lost in Space on Blu-ray on September 15th—exactly 50 years after the show debuted in 1965. The Blu-ray collection boasts a remastered transfer of the original 35mm film elements and includes over six hours of special features (the cover art has not yet been revealed):
