Excellent and classic example of top-notch THE WILD WILD WEST here. Every aspect is near perfect. Great guest cast with Pernell Roberts and the superbly perfect and completely gorgeous Lana Wood..plus Paul Lambert. Great story from Edward J. Lakso. Superb and exciting background music scores from Richard Shores. Lots of rugged and beautiful outdoor cinematography and shooting. Outstanding all around!
I never knew this one too, too well, but it is most definitely a favorite now. THE WILD WILD WEST was like a perfect show, and this one is a perfect example why. Really pretty much every episode is a reason why. The gorgeous Lana Wood is worth the price of the story just by herself, but we have so much more as well.

Come on people..this episode deserves right around a score of 8 of 10. It is a classic black and white Season One episode..obviously not one of the best of the season but being from Season One pretty much automatically makes it better than all the colored episodes from the final two years.
The average score of only 6.9 at this web site is a gross under rank for this episode.
This story itself is played quite straight and adventurous, and it has that great survival theme, reminiscent of the great black and white early stories.
It may be a little implausible and cheesy in situation and characters (like some mention), but this is classic LOST IN SPACE, full of great fantasy and adventure.
Indeed, this is the one and only episode of the series where "special guest star" Jonathan Harris (Dr. Smith) does not appear, except for a cameo appearance in the final scene.
I love Royal Dano as a guest star here. Among other things, I loved Royal Dano appearing in a total of four excellent episodes of THE BIG VALLEY..one from each season.
This episode was written by William Welch, who was scarce as a writer for this Irwin Allen series. He only wrote a total of four episodes, with "The Lost Civilization" here already being his third.
This episode was directed by Don Richardson. It was only Mr. Richardson's third episode of the series to direct, but he went on to direct a total of 26 episodes of LOST IN SPACE, making him the most prolific director in the series.
Come on..get the grade up around 8 of 10 stars where "The Lost Civilization" belongs, here in classic and glorious Season One of LOST IN SPACE.
I will always remember seeing a rerun of this episode on Christmas morning in 1976.

Here is an excellent story/episode that in general seems to be greatly underrated by the picky, partial, artificial LOST IN SPACE fans.
This one has all you should want and need in an episode of LOST IN SPACE.
First of all, since it is so close to superior black and white classic Season One, it still has that beautiful, meaningful, warm, down home, and survival feel and look to it.
"Space Circus" could have almost fit in latter Season One.
This episode was the first of the series written by the writing team of Bob and Wanda Duncan, and it was the fourth episode, and first in color, directed by Harry Harris.
Both are relatively rare for LOST IN SPACE, as they both totaled only five installments for the entire series.
The guest cast is colorful and fun, and there are more guests than usual. I love guest star James Westerfield as "Dr. Marvello."
Melinda Fee as "Fenestra" is very pretty to look at.
Michael Greene played "Nubu," and of course, the usual "monster man" Dawson Palmer played "The Cosmic Monster" (from Super Nova 12).
The story is very warm and great, and it has the usual early series close family moments and stuff, the stuff that makes the episodes work best.
This episode had a guest composer doing the background incidental music scores, and it was the great Herman Stein, who was responsible for the spectacular epic music score from way back in episode number two entitled "The Derelict."
The episode even has a bit of fun and mild humor here and there, before the Season Two fun and humor really kicks into high gear later on.
The climactic scene is very good.
Everything is very good.
In great, classic, and definitive Season Two of LOST IN SPACE, we have a excellent warm example of the best colored style of the series.
This episode, and all like it are for the most part, completely better and on a higher level than the final psychedelic and overblown season, which is hardly real LOST IN SPACE anymore.
In almost every way, nothing in later Season Three can compare to the goodness of stories such as this, with everything earlier, and everyone younger.
"Space Circus" just gets better and better all the time..
