LAND OF THE LOST INTRO

[Hovenaut]

I need some Tang and a bowl of Life cereal. Stat.

[Bry67J]

Those were the days.I remember watching many of the 1970s Saturday Morning shows.

[dragon8080888]

on at 9:30

[dragon8080888]

this show is on KCET Kids And Family

[Ruach]

Did you see hose "special effects" oh wow.

[Mawgrim]

Man, I used to love this show when I was a kind back in the 1980s. I remember it kind of scared me but amazed me at the same time since it was different from all the other shows around, being very mysterious and dealing with concepts like parallel universes. I can't believe I found this again after almost twenty years without hearing of it!

[Avistiff]

I mean, a thousand feet...it's possible.

[Nikkodemis]

hooray for the mini moog

[travisnealtodd70]

Banjo. Fuck me.

[fastrapper030]

this show honestly scares me so much and im 18 ...damn syfy marathon in 09

[youraverageuser]

damn sleetstacks they moved so slow you could just power walk away from them ha ha!

[emmers57]

okay, this is pretty much why I skipped Jurrassic park, it could never have been this cool!

[geewdanger]

I remeber this show love the T rex

[michaelmcgcp]

The dinosaur was just saring at him shouldn't they be eayten by then

[gjc82071]

@timtaylor97044 I'd rather watch Sid & Marty just TALKING about The Land of the Lost, than watch 2 hours of CGI schmaltz & fluff.

[Wellch]

Too bad the cast members did not appear in LOST.

[handsuvlove]

@Wellch They did...Kathy Coleman "Holly" was in there

[bigcatisbig]

@Wellch lost borrowed ideas from land of the lost

pylons= hatches

hearth of the land=hearth of the island

on land of the lost season 2 gravity episode there is a rope on the ground

little girl trapped inside a pylon

lost has sawyer holding a rope on the ground

jack is about to fix the island

and lots more

[TheMackd08]

ahh the memories this brings back!

[PAULAWOL41]

This was the original Jurassic Park, AHHHHHH !!! LMAO

[gjc82071]

@PAULAWOL41 F#$%ing A butha!!!!

[RebeccaKLand]

Funniest bit about Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back? Will Ferrell's character name: Marshall Willenholly!

[sevenismagicman]

wow...i haven't seen these since i was a kid! i thought the claymation dinosour was so realistic!

[grinosmr]

me want Honeycomb

[njb641982]

The 1970's version of Jurassic park, eh? lol

[SuperHushPuppy]

Peter Griffin: ROOOOOAAAAAR!!

[phenobarbitalmv75]

Bring's memories of my childhood...love the original LAND OF THE LOST.

[Rtv03]

WHat the? I didn''t know there was one before the 90''s version.

Sweeeeet!

[vivandav67]

okay fellow Gen-Xers.....Will was Wesley Eure, correct? And did he play Mike Horton on Days of Our Lives for a brief stint? And why do I remember all this stuff? lol

[FSsimpro]

LLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNND­DDDD OOOOOFFFF THHHEEEEEEE LOOOSSSSSSST (lost lost lost lost lost)

[CAC62]

They spared no expense on the river.. and the dinosaur puppet. And fortunately the sleestacks were quite slow..



[mbattol]

Awesome thing about it, they're remaking this show!!! Except it'll be called Terra-Nova

[Nightstalk2000]

I was five and knew this show was awful even then...but good memories nevertheless.

[pernelldh]

We would like to ask E! Entertainment Television to produce more new episodes of "The E! True Hollywood Story" (THS). We would love to see THS: Land of the Lost. The story involved three versions: 1970s TV series, 1990s version and the 2009 movie adaptation. Including interviews with actors from all versions, Sid and Marty Krofft, themselves, etc.

[jityr2]

This show and the Flintstones reminds you of Kent Hovind. They have humans and dinosaurs coexisting. Even if humans and dinosaurs coexisted, dinosaurs and rubber rafts didn't coexist. Rubber, plastic, and polymers weren't invented until the 20th century.

[godsgiftowomen44]

D@jityr2 Don't forget about the plot of the show. Marshall, Will, and Holly came from the future going into prehistoric times. They took a raft with them. Remember?

[norton560]

I love this track! It makes me want to freaky, deaky!

[Opendataport]

That scene at the end of the opening theme scare the crap out of me when I was a kid.

[Sheeought]

Ever wonder why they say MARSHALL, Will, and Holly. The dads name was Rick. The family was the Marshall's. Just saying...

[deskdiva]

Oh, how I loved this! Those wonderful 70s special effects. Make me wish I were a kid again. :D

[AllAboutLOVEatYuToob]

Omg! this is so corny and so fake

yet i loved it as a kid!...what was i thinking?...LOL

[freshANDhesh]

I don't remember it looking so lame.. didn't they have a jeep the never ran out of gas and a little human dinosaur pet?

[colleen4ever]

@freshANDhesh You're thinking of the 90's remake.

[superbert35]

everyday before kindergarten,watched this show

[tellshiar]

My favorite part was when they went in the pylons and messed with the crystals.

[raydeen2k]

Bluegrass and Dinosaurs...who the hell thought that combination up? It worked though.

[Wellch]

If the cast of LOST met the cast of LAND OF THE LOST.....

[chuckamok12]

The most incongruous theme ever.

[KDavis418]

That is one REALLY unmotivated Tyrannosaur.

[upinflamezzz]

Funny how I still remember this.

[Mangaboy94]

i like the movie better then the tv show

[MrBastilleDay]

The best was that dive they took on the waterfall, they didn't even BOTHER having believable special effects!! It was like "Uh-yeah we KNOW it looks fake, there's freakin dinosaurs and walking reptile people for fux sake!" GOD I loved this show!

[terrondt]

lol, my childhood in the 1970's!!!

[RTDavis0503]

Man Grumpy had plenty of time to eat them! lol

[jayce79]

Oh . . . the classics.

[100btls]

sid and marty kroft must have been high makin these shows

[zmbklr101]

Thid is my favorite tv show!!! Watching it gives me a sense of nostalgia, and I'm 13 and still appreciate it!!

[publica74]

This intro used to scare the shit out of me..'cause of that damn dinosaur..Sid And Marty Krofft had to be on acid to make something like this

[mgee63]

I had major hots for Holly back in the day!!! I wanted to enter her "land of the lost" hahahah

[Lindawatcher]

@mgee63 You mean you wanted to stick your weiner inside her and go squirt squirt squirt squirt squirt? hee hee= = =me too!

[TheThomasmoon]

@mgee63 I hear you Holly was hot .

[MeanrBeanr]

@TheThomasmoon

No doubt...then again, I was 12-14 when the series ran. Saturday morning wood.

[jityr2]

@mgee63 In your case it would be the land of the lust. hahaha

[Wellch]

What was Wesley's last name in the show ?

[DixieDevil]

What I want to know is.....how in the hell did they manage to stay in the raft while going over the water fall?? lol

[WallyScag]

That brutal, thousand foot plunge was even more harrowing and entirely realistic-looking than I remember it from thirty-six years ago.

[Credithelper75]

I remember watching this every week, loved the dinosaurs!

[Shobikz]

i always used to say to myself...why didnt the dinosaur just stick his head inside the cave....cuz it was big enuf...but then again...that was the beauty of tv back then... :D

[Kyolover12121212]

This show is so bad-ass. <3

[lucifer73]

My god, I hadn't seen that in 30 years...I watched this religiously as a kid.

[Timbrock1000]

Funny how the T-rex just stands over their raft and it takes them about 5 seconds to get out. A t-rex that slow deserves to go extinct! Maybe the Federal government should hire him, he'll surely get work done faster than our bureaucrats!

[stabbification]

lol as a kid..you don't realize how bad the effects were.

[MultiJman69]

MAN EVERY SATURDAY MORNING IN THE 70S LAND OF THE LOST AND SUPER FRIENDS, THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

[gjc82071]

@MultiJman69 Saturday mornings in the late 70's. A bowl of Boo-Berry cereal + Land of the Lost reruns + Atari 2600 + some Star Wars action figures = a very content & happy little boy. Fast forward to 2011......give me all the same things & you'll have a very content & happy 40 year old adult male. :-)

[breath888]

@gjc82071

and a happy girl over here too! :-) Except I usually got Cheerios, and was lucky the rare times I got Fruity Pebbles, lol! Very content! And CBS had news for kids after cartoons were done. Weird that my kids were born into 24 hour cartoons. But my son appreciates stuff from the 70s, oddly enough!

[guineapiggyman]

for being such low quality show, the stop motion was actually pretty smooth!

[DeepDeepSpace]

Its funny how the T-Rex just roars at them as opposed to eating them.

[leonel1982]

Hey it's that song from Family Guy!

[chumbersdee]

That's Will singing the theme song...no joke

[7DARKHELLS]

One of my favorites.

I remember Grumpy the Trex never learned not to stick his face in that cave.

Everytime he did they stabbed that sharp pole in his mouth he just never learned.

[chumbersdee]

@7DARKHELLS Ha Ha., And as weird as it was...the pole , they called it the Flyswatter

[jules420girl]

hahaha @0:20 the funniest

[chumbersdee]

I can't find any clips or references to those few episodes where they travel to this big ship of lights and the guy there is made up of lights as well...he kinda chimes as he walks. Does anyone remember that?

[VincentValdemar]

@chumbersdee: The alien's name was The Zarn, and was created by DC Fontana of Star Trek fame, iirc.

[chumbersdee]

@VincentValdemar Thanks so much. I was able to track that down to the very episode that "The Zarn" was in. Thanks again

[mariesguy65]

OMG. its saturday morning back in racine, wi. and its 1978 and i am missing these shows. great memories. thanks

[JENDALL714]

Enik was always douche to the Marshalls. 

[wiredtvcraze]

C'mon if that were a real T-Rex, they would've gotten ate up in the Intro....I remember looking at this show eons ago.

[evilmidget]

as weird as this sounds, Bubble Boy made me want to check this show out.

[twilightriverlove]

I wanted to marry chaka!

[Djvdzss]

Good memories!

[WelpeBaumgarten]

I always wanted to have these damn crystals!

[Lisajo1960]

Sleestacks!!!!

[Ibringthetruth1]

This was a damn good show. SciFi too.

Sleestack were great.

[rioextreme]

I used to see this tv show when I was a child. Thnxs 4 posting.

..70's rules man!

[todd291022]

You know what's sad....SciFi had every episode on a few years ago and I watched almost every one.

[LuvThoseLadies]

Grumpy the t-rex!

[RetroDork74]

The 90's one was not that great. I liked this one, though!

[captaineasychord1]

Another childhood fave. Anybody also remember Korg 17,000 BC? That was on around the same time period (1974-75ish).

[ThundermanX17]

i never liked the movie with will ferrel in it

[JohannaGotTalent41]

god we had some great shows in the 70s

[Jorgyandme]

lol......looking back the graphics were horrible :) but we loved it, I used to watch it all the time :)

[PAMAROSHOUSE]

crapo-tvo

[Dinoman217]

Marshal, Will, and Holly

On a routine expedition

Met the greatest earthquake

Ever known

High on the rapids

Struck their tiny raft

Shot them down a thousand feet below

To the Land of the Lost!

[paulpaid]

makes me want a big bowl of Honey comb cereal..lol..

[joeyvader]

@paulpaid yes!! Yes!! And eaten in yer underwear!!! With nobody else in the house up yet!!

[paulpaid]

@joeyvader LOLOL...Yeah..

[jayce79]

@paulpaid

Haaha! Yes! It does. Or mabie Captain Crunch.

[leshy69]

@paulpaid RIGHT????? love it

[spadehatesscrewtube]

@paulpaid naw dawg, alpha bits. sold from alpha beta. with a free mail in for a bobba fett that kills your brothers left eye gland, while the gold centurion says "by your command".

[CowboyUpBR]

@paulpaid Cuz Honeycomb's big, yeah yeah yeah.

[hoosierhiver]

I wonder what Holly is up to these days?

[shannyb5]

I always remember toward the end of the intro that if he stuck his head into that cave-hole....he was gonna eat us.

[kudiepie]

I saw the syndicated episodes in the 80's...this was all we had to watch. There was no Jurassic Park back then.

[brandaddy0]

what song is that?

[MsDsparks]

Wow how funny , I had to show my son who is 9 years old what I used to watch as a child. We laughed of how scary the dinosaurs looked back than. pretty silly he said. I miss the old shows. Now I feel old !!

[TheMashwatcher585]

i loved this show as a kid

[tfan68]

The laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand of the lost ost ost ost :)

[Tiamat1156]

As cheesy as the effects were, the story for this show can't be duplicated. This show had infinite potential. While the movie to this show had the effects but the story was complete garbage. Me, I'd rather have story and cheesy effects any day.

[danielmountain]

@Tiamat1156 agreed, television shows back then actually had a storyline and character development. CGI can't replace decent script writing.

[TodAG69]

What I'd like to see is a reunion show where, as old as they are now, they all get home (minus the Dad since he went back supposedly in the series after)

[SuckkerFree215]

OMG this makes me feel 5 again lol

[locco4coco]

Cheesy but funny!

[vmvlkc]

Only reason I watched this show was because of the dinosaurs. Oh, and that hissing the sleestaks made creeped my sister out too.

[arzon75]

thats so cheesy, its just AWESOME.

[tdelamont]

Man oh man I had a crush on Holly, and that blond girl from the Witch Mountain movies. And I couldn't understand stand why my dad wouldnt watch this, but he really enjoyed Wonder Woman. Ha!

[spreadeagle311]

It was cheesy in 1975

[towringer]

This used to air when I was 10 in the 70's. My sisters used to love it as well because this was one of the first kids shows where girls got dirty & had adventures, too.

[TNviewer01]

WOW did this look cheesy! I used to watch this show back in the day as a little kid, it seemed neater back then. As technology gets better, the old stuff looks So outdated! Of course, this wasn't a classic show, just sat morning entertainment, but wow.

[teewoods]

This looks nothing like the originll! Holly screamed 'Daddy do something' in the intro. 

[Ax3C]

@teewoods

This IS the original.

[yugigreen]

my...goodness. im 19, so yea, forgive me, but WOW, I cant believe people actually watched this lol. sweet, delicious corn. mmmm, smells like the 70's lol.

[Connordude37]

And I thought the movie was cheesy...

[Srhandel]

One of the guys who wrote for the original Star Trek series produced this show I remember his name was David Gerrold. He wrote the "Tribbles" episode among others.

[marshalljimduncan]

Eniks the shit!!

[jengacrock]

The actor who played Will Marshall must have been so f'ng embarassed by starring in this "Gem" that he only wanted Wesley in the credits. What we do for money.

[ratatonic30]

The intro was the best part of the show. NEVER missed it. Hell, every show back then had awesome intros. The Electric Company, Spiderman, Batman, Good Times, The Jeffersons, Maude, Welcome Back Kotter, Wonder Woman, What's Happening, and countless others were shows that you didn't tune in late for.

[AngelofAnguish]

@ratatonic30 In my opinion, the '70s-AND '80s-were T.V.'s "crowning eras!" Today, we are we stuck with American Idle (note the sarcasm!), Hell's Kitchen, Survivor, Lost...what HAS HAPPENED to T.V. lately?!

[pwnage0013]

the movie sucked balls

[jackiemickie]

Watch it years ago, wow 35 years hard to believe.

[Pinhead554]

I loved this show growing up. The 1990's version wasnt as good though.

[TheJackiemoon33]

Good movie, but good show? At least I heard it is. The effect are a little dated though...

[tyrantofglory]

The stories were much better back then. All they have today is computer effects. What's so great about them anyway? An era for morons.

[zoobumz]

The movie is my fav, so freaking funny!

"that's nice craft" lol

[lawrencelugar7777]

I just watched this DVD

lol - it's good... if you like silly, light-hearted, dumb comedies.

[jcp1977]

at the end of the intro when the that big raptor T-Rex was about to devour the screen it scared me but that was when I was a kid

[PatrioticPirate]

@jcp1977 ...and that one last roar... LOVED IT!!!

[luvudarren1]

the movie so fuckin hilarious

[biigzen]

I remember when I was a kid I'd cry when the TRex came at the screen at the end, and for some reason my mom would yell at my sister about it.

The fucking old days. Everything licks balls now.

[TheGlamourAddict]

That's because she told me not to watch it BECAUSE it made you cry and I would still watch it and you'd rat me out with your tears....punk.

Ah, the "good times" on California Blvd.

[ZX2ManDave]

As out of date and funny as the animation is in this show, well think of it this way. During its time when this was released everyone thought it looked so real. Then Star Wars came along and everyone thought it looked so real. A few years later The Terminator came along and it made the effects of Star Wars look ancient. Then Terminator 2:Judgment day put the original Terminator to shame. Now the big thing is Avatar.

It wont be long before the next big thing makes Avatar look out of date.

[themightycelestial]

Stop-motion T-Rex & banjo music:

Two great tastes that taste great together.

[BentBrent69]

@themightycelestial Hilarious!  And so very true.

[tw69hands2]

@themightycelestial:

That and the folk rock harmony is really groovy.

[johnnycharco]

@themightycelestial I needed a good laugh today. Thanks !

[Iccarus72]

Man...I dug these shows back when I was a kid..still like watching them. Sid and Marty Kroft shows were a major trip.

[inbetweentics]

was talking with wesley about a year ago just before the film came out and told him i just couldn't believe none of the original cast members were going to be in the film. he said it felt very strange too that none of them were cast.

we both agreed that while people may be critical of the tv series in that it was "old school" - IT HAD A LOT OF HEART!

i love this series :)

[ChopstickBrando]

Why the Earl Scruggs/Lester Flatt-esque music?

[lowfuellevel]

love it, never missed it each Saturday morning...and to the last person that posted, I loved the Captain crunch too.

[GreatGarloo876]

Oh man, where's a bowl of Cap'n Crunch when I need it?

[gamewizard]

One of the best examples of Ray Harryhausen style animation ever. Still a bit jerky, but smoother than the Hollywood films where the technique was employed. Of course today they'd just use 3d computer models but back then this style of animation was hard work.

[twinflame93]

Sure the effects are rather..um..average..but the show itself was rather deep for a kids show and tackled some cool sci-fi themes. So much so that even as an adult if you get past the cheap effects it's a great little sci-fi show and IIRC some episodes were written by ex Star Trek people.

Can't wait to buy this piece of 70's bliss on DVD and relive my childhood!

[NowhereMan1966]

Plus a lot of the story lines were written by contemporary (at that time) SF writers as well as a few of the old pulp SF writers from the 1940's/1950's. IIRC, I think Theodore Sturgeon wrote an episode.

[ChloeHollyWood2]

The new land of the lost,I don't like it,but the old one is so much better becuz its old and takes like the 70's to the 2000's!

And everything looks fake but I love that!

[wombatmoose]

Wow, it's kinda like Jurassic Deliverance.

[ChopstickBrando]

@wombatmoose

LOL.

Exactly.

Banjos'n'shit.

[Skulldini]

Love that banjo at the opening.

[Thirdshiftzombie]

I miss TV like this, not the retarded crap kids watch today.

[lavalizard3]

Ah, it's good to see the 70's intro again. That show used to freak me out when I was little X-D

It's funny that when I was a kid, I was always more scared by cheezy special effects than realistic ones :-P

[Skulldini]

THATS because when your a little kid you dont know what's realistic and what isn't ( "cheesy" to use your word ).

[Wellch]

Wesley Eure (born August 17, 1951) is an American actor.---Would he be 58 years old now?

[Skulldini]

Shit !! I didn't think that he was THAT old !! I assumed that he was about ten years younger than that. He must've been alot older than he LOOKED and PLAYED in that case !

[Skulldini]

This show was made in 1975, so if he's the age you say he is, then he's 24 here, yet he's suposedly playing someone about 14 years old.

[NowhereMan1966]

He looked morel ike 15 or 16 to me but I see your point.

[twinflame93]

I'm amazed he was in his 20's playing Will Marshall who was in his mid teens.

[74tmcentralc]

land of the lost lost lost.lol

[63gstone]

Your DAD watched it when he was 5?! Damn! That makes me feel REALLY old! LOL!

[monsterboy31]

He'd only be in his 40's. This show premired in the 70's.

[Wellch]

Just a WESLEY played Will Marshall? no last name?

[mexigogue]

@Wellch when you're really pimp you only need 1 name
