The Adventures of Swiss Family Robinson is a 1998 family adventure series that originally aired on the PAX network (now Ion Television). Based on the 1812 novel The Swiss Family Robinson, it follows the adventures of nine survivors of a shipwreck as they attempt to adapt to life on a deserted island. It lasted for one season.
This was the fifth television series based on the 1812 novel and followed nearly a dozen theatrical and made-for-television film versions. Like many of these previous versions, it altered story lines and added several members to the cast of characters.
The show contained 10 story arcs of three episodes each and aired on closely spaced dates over seven weeks in September and October 1998. It was one of the first shows broadcast on the newly formed PAX network.
Questar/Sunset Home Visual Entertainment (SHE) released a complete series DVD in 2005.
