With Ron Moore involved, it might be decent.
Still, like the new True Grit movie, why does hollywood think they can improve on the originals?

Good point, but at least they were smart enough to use Jeff Bridges in it. It might actually be pretty good!
In bad economic times it is comforting to many viewers to have familiar shows from better times to watch. Most of these reboot shows were from most of our younger days, including my childhood. Now let's reboot Lost in Space.
I"m guessing that having Joey from Friends as Major West is what doomed this reboot. Even Heather Grahm couldn't save that turkey.
Fox owns the rights and did produce a pilot you might find it on the web. Perhaps at Youtube.
Lost in Space reboot might work with the right crew. Not the ones that did the movie. Which wasn't that good imho. However they have sort of done a Lost in Space. It was called Voyager.
Yes, Star trek Voyager show is why I went with DISH in the first place 14 years ago. I liked the whole series especially the 2 part ending that involved time travel and the Borg queen .
Yup, UPN moved the Voyager feed off of C-Band so I subbed to Dish for the supers...
I watched the True Grit Trailer last night in my HT... it actually looked good.

Actually for people like me, I never knew there was a previous wild wild west series on TV. I saw the movie, but I did not know there was a TV series. It could be good. At worst I will watch an episode or 2 and see if I like it.
Well, let me start off dating myself. I watched the first run when it came out. It was in B&W when it started. Robert Conrad (James West) was the James T Kirk of westerns is how I would put it. Robert Conrad was 200% better playing James West than Will Smith. And while Kevin Kline did a decent job as Arte. Ross Martin was a better Arte.
I used to look forward to the opening graphics alone. It was great fun even if it was utterly implausible.
I always thought that The Wild Wild West was a sci-fi/ western. Fire Fly was another in that same genre.
