Personal note: my dad was a storyboard illustrator for Irwin Allen for a number of years, into the “Master of Disaster” movie period. And he did work on those ’60s series including TT. I met Mr. Allen several times, but of course I was just a schoolkid at the time. Thanks again for the look back!

Part of me half wonders if this:

Might be a Tipler cylinder:

That’s your real time tunnel.

Time Machines need be spacecraft

But hay, that’s part of the fun. Loved the insults Dr. Smith hurled at Robot. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was my favorite. Lately though I have started to notice how really good the musical themes and scoring are.

The themes from Lost in Space. Exciting and a little spooky.

The theme from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea with SONAR pings scored as a musical instrument brings to mind nautical adventure.

Have the Time Tunnel DVD set, and I actually watch MeTV, cancelled my satellite-tv a few years ago and put an antenna in the attic. (Practically all the episodes are up at youtube but the quality varies.)
Now, if you want to watch Star Trek and “classic Dr. WHO,” check out:

Upside is it’s all free, and they have on-demand viewing, downside is commercials.

It is part of the Sci-Fi Saturday night line-up. Which includes all of the shows mentioned in this Evening Pause. Star Trek, Voyage, Land of Lost, TT, Invaders…

I’m too old to stay up for the overnight viewing, but I’m usually up early enough to catch the last bit of TT and then “The Invaders”… 8^)

Bill Mumy has had quite a career – actor, musician, writer, producer, etc.

One of the best Evening Pauses!

You will never understand when you are.
So shallow your undertanding of existence.
Wait, here is a friend of mine.
ID.
Do not rely upon ID.
Never a friend of mine.

Gary: Nope, the documentary narrator was not the person who did the voice for the robot. Gealon already gave the answer, though the proper spelling is Billy Mumy, who played Will Robinson of Lost in Space.

Great selection!

Other than Will Robinson, I particularly liked him in the roles of Mr. Lennier from Babylon 5.
