Based on faded memory, Collision of Planets was going to be a terrible episode earning a typical Mid-Season Two episode rating of a "1". However, from my recent viewing it is not that bad.
Yes, it is a drop in quality from most of the first third of Season Three and is more like some of the mid-Season Two episodes with heavy camp and non-sense. That said, it has some very funny moments, such as when the head hippie asks Dr. Smith if he was Prof Robinson and Major West's father!
Also, the first time Dr. Smith tries to regain his strength back by exercising, is laugh out loud funny, especially is running and the look on Penny's face is classic.
On the down-side the lazy loopy hippies are a terrible idea, executed in an idiotic way. The head hippie (Daniel J Travanti of Hill Street Blues) is annoying beyond belief. And the plot just stumbles along.
Dr. Smith as Sampson or maybe The Incredible Hulk, with a green Harpo Marx wig is initially funny but grows old quickly.
