I wonder if this crossover was ever considered for real back in the day. How cool would it have been to see the casts of these two outer space shows interact with one another? I'm not sure how the timelines match up, but they could have come up with a plot device to get around that.

Yes, yes, YES!!! :-)
I love this concept. And you'll be surprised how many others do, too, Ross. In fact, just recently, I came across a fan film on Youtube that brilliantly edits together footage from "Balance of Terror" (STAR TREK:TOS Season 1) and "Visit To A Hostile Planet" (LIS:TOS Season 3).
oh superb !
by the days end, he will need Doctor Bones Mc Coy for “ the pain , the pain…
Bill Mumy is a Star Trek fan and was on one of the franchises..DS9, I think. Meanwhile , there was a Saturday morning cartoon of Lost in Space that was aired once??
Considering how the Enterprise had travelled back in time, they could have encountered the Jupiter 2's crew anywhere in the universe.
John Robinson and Kirk would have made a good team.
McCoy wasn't worth a label?? oh, the pain...the pain.
@ Actually, he wrote a two-part story called "The Worthy" for one of the licensed comic book spin-offs of STAR TREK back in the Eighties. But, if you were, perhaps, referring to a live-action series, you might be thinking of his role as "Lennier of Mimbar" on BABYLON 5.*
*The only "clone" of DS9 that successfully gave it a run for its money in terms of greater than-two-season longevity---Cary.
P.S.---the Saturday morning cartoon you refer to is where this illo-capture of Dr. Smith is from. I believe it was an anthology series called "ABC Saturday Superstar Movie." Other feature-length episodes consisted of a prequel to Rankin-Bass' "Mad Monster Party." A WB/Filmation crossover called "Daffy Duck Meets The Groovy Ghoulies." And an anime spin-off of Marlo Thomas' "That Girl"!
Funny you should do this crossover now. A few days ago, this turned up in my YouTube recommendations.
Mumy did appear on DS9.
Hmmm! That maybe the one episode of DS9 I missed. Because I just found the publicity stills from it via Memory Alpha. Only I have zero memory of AR-558!*
*Which, truth to tell, sounds more like a Star Wars droid.
By the stars, this is a home run Ross! "Danger danger captain Kirk!" Maybe this leads up to how Kirk wound up in the Batmobile. But instead of a threat from a talking carrot-man, they have to face... The Roly Poly Fish Heads! Yum!
@Ken Roskos: nice cult-classic reference! :-)
@Ross: just imagine con man Cyrano Jones going back in time, via the Guardian of Forever, while enthralled by a female Orionid space pirate. Tentative title? "Alas Smith & Jones!"
@Anon1241: shouldn't that be "A Lass, Smith, & Jones"? ;-)
@Cary: lol! Good one.
@Detective Tobor: who's down with OTP?*
* "Oh, The Pain!"
Thank you Anon 12:41 pm! Don't forget that Photoshopped image of Spock giving Dr. Smith the Vulcan nerve pinch that's been floating around the internet. Of course, having Spock conduct a mind meld with the good doctor would be disastrous. We would have another "evil" Spock on our hands.
I'll see if I can find that on Youtube...in between fan films like "The Final Empire" (a Star Wars/Star Trek:TNG crossover).
And here I am, merely thinking that The Question vs. the old Dick Tracy villain known as The Blank would be a great face-off. #BadPunNoCookie
For the timelines, the Jupiter 2 left Earth in 1999, so just after the Eugenics War ended. So not sure how they could meet, unless when the Robinsons & Smith woke from cryosleep in the pilot, it was actually 300 years later.
Just one more group, bear with me - Star Wars meets the original Lost in Space. Enter... Dr. Zachary Sith!
@Carycomic: McCoy is in the pix but he's not wearing A LABEL!
@Wild Card: that also means the Jupiter 2 left Earth two years before Moonbase Alpha (John Koenig, commanding) was blown out of the solar system.
So one wonders: would Luna have been the "rogue asteroid" the Robinson party might otherwise fatally have collided with, if not for Dr. Smith's additional weight?*
*See "The Time Merchant" (LIS:TOS Episode 3.18)
Roll tape! And Dr. Smith would still need the Robot to figure out the Enterprise's systems. The Robot might just throw up his arms and say "It does not compute." Then Smith would lose his temper, and push the wrong button, sending the Enterprise out of control. Then not even the Medusans could get them back to their galaxy.
Det. Tobor--it was Simon who said something about McCoy being MIA. Not me!
Nobody said McCoy was MIA. Cary and Tobor both just noted that his name isn't in the list of labels for this post, but Kirk, Uhura, and Spock are.
I meant Simon and Tobor. (Sorry!)
Bones has not had a solo cover appearance yet. Hence, no label.
Simons says: apology accepted. :-)
Well, we need to team him up with someone, then -- and Beast seems like a natural fit.
Just a silly thought. Ever thought of a crossover (perhaps called "Multiverse of Martians") featuring Martian Manhunter, Uncle Martin, Marty the Martian, the Martians from War of the Worlds, the Martians from Invaders from Mars, and/or the Martians from Mars Attacks? :-)
"Ack-ack-ack-ack-ack!" *
* "Never in my right mind!" ;-D
i second this idea....
How about The Question vs. The Blank (the one-shot Marvel villain from "West Coast Avengers"), No-Face (from "Mortal Kombat") and Dr. No-face?
I'll take your silence as assent. ;-)
