Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt a recent autograph convention Bill Mumy recalls an alarming circumstance during taping of a Lost in Space episode. When Mr. Zumdish (Fritz Feld) orders his side kick Ex-Wrestler Tiger Joe Marsh to chase Verda (Dee Hartford) because Dr. Smith was delinquent with his payment. After 4 takes of running, the hefty wrestler suffered an asthma attack and Director Don Richardson left the scene in the final film showing the heavy goon laboring for breath behind the rocks. Richardson yelled "CUT!" The burly wrestler collapsed to the set floor and was given medication and insisted to finish taping which he did. Joe Marsh went on guest star in other television shows and passed away in 1989 at the age of 77.
- GoofsWhen Verda took the pointer away from the robot there was a holder for it on his claw, but moments later the holder is no longer there.

Featured review
Should Have Been Called: Mr Zumdish
Verda, a female android, appears on the lost planet and she soon displays human emotions.
A very hard episode to review as my view of it changes with each screening. You need to get into that campy child-like fantasy world to like this hour. Sometimes I can do that while other times I can't.
But there is no question that the humanoid character of Mr Zumdish (Fritz Feld) is funny every time I re-watch this colourful episode of Lost In Space.
I can't call The Android Machine a favourite but it is more pleasing than some of the later second season episodes.
