Re: Danger, Danger, Danger!

If you are wondering where this phrase came from, it was something that the Robot said on ‘Lost In Space.’ He said it when the Robinson Family was in danger, and more specifically when “Will Robinson” was in danger. Lost In Space, was a goofy sci-fi, primetime television program that my kids grew up watching. It had a certain appeal at the time, because it was a takeoff on a book and story, ‘Swiss Family Robinson.’ The only difference between the two was, ‘Lost In Space’ was set in space, and on a planet far away from Earth, and ‘Swiss Family Robinson’ was a about a family living life on a deserted island. It was a way to escape the troubles of our time, and to identify with what it might feel like to be lost in space, and somewhere other than Earth.
