Space Family Robinson
''Space Family Robinson'' was an original science-fiction comic-book series published by Gold Key Comics. It predates the ''Lost in Space'' television series. Both are loosely based on the 1812 novel by Johann David Wyss and similarly named movies, ''The Swiss Family Robinson''. Publication history ''Space Family Robinson'' was published as a total of 59 issues, from 1962 to 1982. The first issue was published in December 1962. In 1965, when Irwin Allen produced the primetime television show ''Lost in Space'', Gold Key's publishers noticed the similarities between the comic books and the show.

The two companies reached an agreement that the comic could change its cover title to ''Space Family Robinson: Lost in Space''. The new title appeared starting with issue #15 (Jan 1966).

Dinner Theatre
Dinner theater (sometimes called dinner and a show) is a form of entertainment that combines a restaurant meal with a staged play or musical. "Dinner and a show" can also refer to a restaurant meal in combination with live concert music, where patrons listen to a performance during a break in the meal. In the case of a theatrical performance, sometimes the play is incidental entertainment, secondary to the meal. In the style of a night club, the play may be the main feature of the evening, with dinner less important or optional. Dinner theater requires the management of three distinct entities: a live theater, a restaurant and, usually, a bar. History The Madrigal dinners in the Renaissance were early forms of dinner theater. Some early dinner theaters, known as "theatre restaurants", served dinner in one room and staged the play in another.Lynk, p. 18 Notable venues in the United States Barksdale Theatre Barksdale Theatre in Richmond, Virginia, founded in 1953 by David and Nanc ...
