Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe "fuel cells" for the water distillation unit are actually metal encased vacuum tubes of the type used in early car radios.
- GoofsWhen the family leaves to look for Dr. Smith, the entrance to the Jupiter 2 is clean and neat and there is a short ramp to enter. When they return the entrance is covered with rocks and branches, like when they first landed. It appears to be reused footage.

Featured review
One of the sillier episodes in the first season
Alien fruit turns Dr. Smith into a paranoid giant. Despite a nearby ocean and the even closer pool Penny played around by in the earlier episode "My Friend, Mr. Nobody', the Robinsons et al are threatened by 'death-by-thirst' if they don't find water. They do, but the fruit floating in it has amazing properties: if causes organisms to grow to gigantic size (and in the case of Smith, this includes his clothes and shoes). The whole episode is insipid, especially the ridiculous scenes in which Maureen is almost blown over when the giant Smith sneezes, and the final resolution to the family's problems is pat and convenient. The first throwaway, space-filling episode in the otherwise watchable first season.
