Bill Mumy is most well-known for being Will Robinson in the 1960s sci-fi TV show Lost in Space and the boy who wishes people into the corn field in that Twilight Zone episode (I can’t remember the name). He was also Lennier in Babylon 5 and co-wrote the song Fish Heads with his band Barnes and Barnes.

Apparently he’s been producing Ancient Aliens for years. 130 episodes from seasons 11 to the upcoming 20th season. As far as I can tell, there’s not even a good reason to have him involved with the show. His only other producing credit is for a documentary about Lost in Space.

So now you know who to blame for keeping that show going.

I liked his involvement in all of the things I listed above too. Makes me sad.

    I’m shocked for two reasons:

    I thought this show just fell off the earth around the time that dude with the stupid hair became the biggest meme a long time ago, though now that I think about it, the extra attention probably gave them tons of new viewers.

    But also, after 19 seasons, are the pyramids really the only thing they talk about? I would have assumed they moved on to discredit the hard work that went into Stonehenge or the Moai statues or something. Or are the pyramids more of a visual identifier for their show, similar to the purpose a logo would serve?
