==Syndication==
''Lost in Space'' was picked up for syndication in most major U.S. markets. The program didn't have the staying power throughout the 1970s of its supposed rival, ''Star Trek''. Part of the reason for the show's obsolescence was that the first season of ''Lost in Space'' was in black-and-white, while a majority of American households at the time had a color television receiver. By 1975, many markets began removing ''Lost in Space'' from daily schedules or moving it to less desirable time slots. The series experienced a revival when [[Ted Turner]] acquired it for his growing [[TBS (U.S. TV channel)|WTBS]] "superstation" in 1979. Viewer response was positive, and it became a WTBS mainstay for the next five years.<ref name="History of TV's Lost in Space"/>
