Merrick again...
As a few Talkbackers have noted, a 2002 pilot for a revamped TIME TUNNEL series is also available on YouTube. Like THE ROBINSONS, this pilot never aired and it didn't go to series.

Merrick here...
Back in 2003/2004, four or five years after Stephen Hopkins' spectacular-but-lackluster big screen adaptation, John Woo directed a pilot for a proposed re-launch of Irwin Allen's LOST IN SPACE television series. It was called THE ROBINSONS: LOST IN SPACE.
The new series was not picked up, the pilot helmed by Woo never aired, and the producers of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA reimagining eventually bought sets from this LIS pilot for use on their own show (notably for the Battlestar Pegasus, if memory serves).
Copies of this unaired pilot have been making their way through the underground circuit for years - although they were never particularly easy to come by. But now...some industrious and loveable Geek has slapped the whole thing onto YouTube - spread across five parts and presented in rational/aiight video quality - that are linked below (embedding was disabled on these files, otherwise I would post them here).
Looks like these files have actually been on YouTube for some time, but judging by their view counts...and by the amount of e-mail I still receive asking where this pilot could be found...I'm guessing not too many people have noticed they were there.
As such, we thought this might be of interest to y'all. Enjoy!
