kerndtsr 1974? That would make me... well young enough to enjoy this show, but old enough to realize it's Trekkie "space-time continuum" sub-plot. Ever notice on the opening credits that only the name "Wesley" is used for the lead role Will Marshall? Go to YouTube and see for yourself! Was this guy ashamed on being on a kids show and chose to hold back his last name in case he got a real job? The Love Boat and Fantasy Island are coming soon! I always wondered why they did not go to the sleestacks cave where they slept and cut a few heads off? C'mon! they knew where they lived, and they hibernating! Waste a few and leave a note telling them not to fu*k with the Marshall's!
Sonnyboy I caught a marathon of this show on SciFi a few months back.I'm pretty sure I caught the gist of the show.First--The Acting.Awful. I remember Marshall being a particularly bad actor. They couldn't say a line without looking like idiots. I remember the episode where Will gets zapped by a yellow crystal. That was some of the worst television acting I've ever seen.Also, those little monkey people are very bad actors as well. What were they?... Pylons?...Second--The Scripts.Bad again. Almost so bad it's good, but it's... not. Every episode ended in a cheesy unfunny joke. And the dialog was always choppy, poorly said, and corny.Third--The Special Effects.Ha... the shows one redeeming quality...These are indeed so bad they're good. From puppets to claymation reused from every episode, these are indeed the worst special effects I've ever seen.You should also expect a lot of still-image backgrounds, bad picture control, and picture-in-picture graphics.Fourth--The StoriesI'll be honest. Most of the stories are not bad. Although... I remember once... A caveman miner is lost in the land, and when the gang walks in his cave, he holds a match over his cannon and says "Freeze!" or something like that... lol!!!And, of course, the stories eventually got tired...Fifth--The CharactersMarshall, Will, and Holly were immaterial. Their characters were stale, bland, predictable. Will was a intellectual, the children were typical brother and sister, and the monkey people were annoying.Overview--The show is not good.Still... with it's bad acting, cheesy characters, low budget special effects, and lazy stories, it has an undeniable charm... And that is why I will watch it the next time there is a marathon on SciFi. That is why I will watch it. It is worth watching, with all the awfulness included, if only for the camp value. Watch it. Appreciate the bad music. The special effects. Watch it, and remember...
Daniel Saks I started reading the comments in the hopes that someone would shed some light on the question: Which came first Sid and Marty Kroft's "Land Of The Lost" or Hanna Barberra's "Valley Of The Dinosaurs"? They are very similar. Modern family dealing with dinosaurs and cave men, Two kids a boy and a girl, somewhat preachy parents, everything working out in the end. They were both in 1974. You might say "well "Valley Of The Dinosaurs" must have come first because it was animated" but the fact is it was REALLY REALLY CRAPPY limited animation and "Land Of The Lost" had stop motion animation. So which one came first? and was one a copy of the other?
Woodyanders I use to religiously watch this incredibly off-the-wall quirky'n'kooky children's TV show every Saturday morning as a kid growing up in the mid to late 70's. Stalwart widowed forest ranger dad Rick Marshall (excellently played by the firm-as-granite Spencer Milligan), his whiny son Will (teen pin-up hunkling Wesley Eure) and spunky daughter Holly (adorable pig-tailed cutie Kathy Coleman) are absorbed through a mysterious time portal into an exotic and dangerous primitive world populated by ferocious dinosaurs, savage cavemen, vicious humanoid lizards called Sleestaks, and other such otherworldly beings. The trio are terrorized by Grumpy the Tyrannosaurus Rex, befriended by Cha-Ka the simpleton furball missing link, and try their best to leave this alternate universe. Of course, they run across plenty of bizarre beasties such as Medusa and the Abominable Snowman. Rick was eventually replaced by the equally gutsy Uncle Jack (rugged Ron Harper), but the show never lost its strangely beguiling and captivating sense of zany oddball fun, with the crude herky-jerky stop motion animation, chintzy sets, endearingly shoddy special effects, offbeat plots, likable main characters, and a simply spectacular spirited hillbilly bluegrass theme song all adding immensely to the hugely entertaining weirdness. An awesome vintage 70's time capsule of lovably ludicrous lunacy.
