Jetpacks and Rocket Belts: Seeking episode info for *Lost in Space*, etc.



Mac Montandon, who is writing a book on the Bell Rocket Belt and its descendants, asked me the following question:

"Can anyone tell me exactly what episode a jetpack appears in Lost in Space,
the year and episode number? And what episode(s) did it appear on the
Simpsons and Family Guy, too? And Jetsons?"

I recall *Lost in Space* featured footage of the Bell Rocket Belt, possibly in the early, black-and-white episodes, but I don't know specifics. Can anyone help with airdates or titles?

Saturday morning's *Ark II* used a rocket belt, too. Airdates or episode titles?

Did the real rocket belt appear in other Sixties or Seventies TV shows?

I recall many TV commercials-- Colonel Keds, the Man from Glad-- with rocket belts.

As for fictional jetpacks, or animated ones, they are legion.
