05/25, 06/04, and 06/05, Land of the Lost marathon on The SciFi channel

Advertisements

The entire 1974-1976 Land of the Lost series from is being shown on two marathons on the SciFi channel. EPGUIDES says that there are 43 half hour episodes. I counted 80 entries in the schedule at the Scifi channel, so presumably they are showing most of the episodes twice.

Also, presumably, this is some kind of promotion for the upcoming movie.

Here is the list from the schedule search. This is from the East coast feed, EST listed.

The new compilation DVDs will be out in a week or two. The old DVDs, which were of individual seasons were discontinued some time ago.

I'm sure all of this is merely to hype the movie.

 

I never said that they were good, just that they were there.

It's a kids show shot on a pathetic budget. It isn't Jurassic Park. It merely is what it is, and it doesn''t pretend to be anything else.

And yes, they were pretty bad, especially the third season.

 

Especially the Krofft Saturday morning children's shows. They were not only SUPPOSED to be bad, they succeeded!

It's all just advertisment for the new movie. Clay dinos, bad/cheap sets, bad writing, worse acting, all standard for the era. There were others that were just as bad or worse. The only real value is nostalgic.

 

I don't know if this is the wrong place for comments, but I have a few right off the bat:

1) The opening themes says "Marshall, Will and Holly..." but the dad's name is Rick Marshall. The kids are Will Marshall and Holly Marshall. The opening song seems a little "off" calloing the dad by his last name and the others by their first names.

2) It seems obvious to me that they never expected a second (or third) season. The last episode of the first season is clearly a SERIES finale, not a season finale. "Circle" neatly wraps everything up, and Enik's last line, made to the audience, is a goodby.

3) What the... happened with the third season? The first two are fairly internally consistent, but the third is just different. That earthquake shook loose more than they told us, because the entire tone and direction of the show changed.

4) Holly grew several inches from ep 1.1 to 3.13. By the end, she was very nearly as tall as Will. Was she, all of them in fact, getting their clothing from the Land of the Lost local Walmart? Three years and not a stain, tear or rip anywhere to be seen.

Yeah, I know, with all the nonsense in the show, complaining about the clothes seems very petty. Well, it came to mind.
