Dr. Zachary Smith: Yes. Yes, I do.
Disk: Then ask your question.
Dr. Zachary Smith: I would like to know where to find the greatest treasure in the galaxy. Can you tell me?

Dr. Zachary Smith: Yes, oh, yes. Tell me.
Featured review
'All that Glitters' is not gold... but is OK
A space-thief (Larry Ward) on the run from awkwardly-named space-cop Bollix (Col. Klink himself, Werner Klemperer) leads Penny and Dr. Smith to a necklace that gives the Midas' touch (except for platinum). This is essentially the Midas fable enacted in outer-space and isn't a bad episode despite the contrived 'cop and robbers' premise. Harris takes the opportunity to actually act as he steps back slightly from his character's descent into a comically greedy, vein and cowardly caricature and adds a bit of humanity and pathos to his otherwise intolerable Dr. Smith. The story suffers from the usual inconsistencies (notably the timing of the transformation), silly-looking monsters, and the frequently ignored fact that an unlimited supply of any 'precious' substance would render it worthless.
