Those are some pretty impressive Special Features.
I tried to watch a few episodes on MeTV, but it's just to cheesy for me.
 
Who is Toni Williams? She is mentioned as being on the original cast interviews and “Lost in Space: The Epilogue”.
 
Between this and the complete TV series scores coming out on CD , this is gonna be an amazing year for LiS fans. Pre-ordered my Blu's, now the long 5 month wait...
 
I've only ever liked the first year of this show, but, I may not be able to resist all those special features. It can go with my dvd of the 1997 film (I'm one of the 23 people who liked it)
 
^The 1997 film and the short-lived comic book by Bill Mumy based on the TV show are all that I can stand of Los In Space now (and I wished that the movie had made enough money for a sequel-the set up is better than the TV series.) I'd love to see the movie on Blu-Ray, instead.

The '97 movie has been available on Blu-ray for quite some time.
 
The 1997 film actually came out on April 3, 1998. It has the distinction of being the first film to knock Titanic out of the number 1 spot for the weekend at the box office.

Titanic was released on December 19, 1997.
