Thanks to a kindly film collector in Germany, Star Trek fans will now get to experience the third pilot that was made to pitch the original 60’s series.

When that pilot was deemed to serious for TV audiences, a second pilot was made with William Shatner in the lead. That is called “Where No Man Has Gone Before.”
According to The Live Feed, an alternate version of this pilot was made and up until …read more

If I were to compile a list of my favorite TV dads, John Robinson of Lost in Space would be high on my list. He was strong, brave, understanding and he did all he could to raise his children right. Manners are important, even if there is a two-headed swamp monster headed for the ship, you don’t interrupt mommy and daddy when they’re talking.
When it came to playing John Robinson,  the fatherly part was new for actor Guy Williams, but the strong and brave part was a no brainer as he had spent two years portraying that swashbuckling, western hero, …read more
