Danger No More

He was big and shiny and had lots of duties on the spaceship Jupiter 2. But his major jobs were keeping Will out of trouble each week and foiling the evil plans of Dr. Zachary Smith.  

 













Bob May, the man inside the robot suit in the hit 1960s television show “Lost in Space” died in January of 2009. And Sunday, the voice of the robot (a Class M-3 Model B9, General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot, which had no given name), Dick Tufeld, passed away at the age of 85.  He was also the narrator for the series and did narration voiceover for many other productions, such as Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and The Time Tunnel, and did voice work for the 1978 animated television series Fantastic Four. He was also the main title announcer on the 1981 Mar­vel Pro­duc­tions show Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends  

But most of all, he was responsible for saying at least once each week (all together now), "Danger, Will Robinson. Danger."

  1. Than Spiderman cartoon was incredibly terrible--I know, because Mike and I watched it many times. Did you watch Lost in Space when you were a kid?
