The Robinson Family gets Lost in Space for the first time on CBS-TV on this date.

Irwin Allen pitched his idea for the series to CBS programmer James Aubrey, who immediately snapped up the idea. A couple of weeks later Gene Roddenberry pitched his idea for Star Trek: The Original Series to Aubrey, who turned him down as he felt that Lost in Space was the more commercial of the two.
