You know how celebrity deaths happen in threes...? Well Billy Mays did it one better, and threw an extra death in for free! What a showman!

A political comic I believe, on the level of a non-sequitur.

No more coincidences?

I watched a bunch of those eps out of curiosity, mostly on the internet. The robot was, by far, my favorite character. I literally LOL at the things he (*) said & did, especially to Dr. Smith. I'm not sure I could've stood watching too many eps if it hadn't been for the Robot. (*I say he, because he did fall for a female robot once...just another thing that cracked me up.)
Granted, Dr. Smith, especially as the show got progressively more silly, was also hilarious. In real life, I wouldn't tolerate him at all (**), but on the show, his choice of words & delivery were cheesetastic awesome.
(**In the 1998 movie, where John Robinson tells Maureen that Smith is dangerous and maybe he shouldn't have let him live, I instantly imagined myself in Maureen's place explaining, "Don't worry about it, he's already in deep freeze. If we make it back to Earth, we turn him over to the authorities. If our provisions run low, he's on the menu.")

Even as a kid (when I first watched those shows), I was amazed that Will's parents would let Dr. Smith have unaccompanied access to Will. Aside from the creepy molester vibe he exuded ("Will....dear boy!"), in each episode he would sell Will to an alien circus, or to an alien zoo, or to a couple of faceless aliens in shiny bowler hats who wanted to use Will's brain for their supercomputer....all in exchange for a promise of a ticket back to earth for Dr. Smith from the aliens. Yet in the next episode, Will's Mom and Dad would let Will again wander off into the unexplored alien planet with Dr. Smith (and the Robot for a chaperone) while they tried to get the ship's engine running. :confused: Good childcare really must be hard to find!
