| - The series began to be filmed in color this season (previously, only the SFX shots were shot in color, though presented in black and white). It was in direct competition with ABC's Batman television series, and echoes that show's campiness. The stories were more fantasy oriented than in the first season, and many of the episodes featured Dr. Smith, Will and the robot, almost to the exclusion of everyone else.

Mark Goddard's comments on the second season include: "I was involved in stories and dialogue that could only be written by writers and story editors who must have been eating colorful mushrooms while sipping colorless drinks. This imbibing turned one of them into a colorless, dour, vindictive, hateful person. I am referring to Don Richardson, who directed twelve of the " Lost in Space" episodes that year."'
