on a routine expedition
met the greatest earthquake ever known.
high on the rapids
it struck their tiny raft.
and plunged them down a thousand feet below.

OK, it took me a sec, but I used to LOVE that show. "Land of the Lost," right??

yep! yep!

and then marshall went back to his present and the stupid uncle came back in his place.

i have a pair of custom oakleys with green lenses that i call my sleestack glasses.

Ha. I loved that show. It was so campy.

I LOVED that show-it was a Saturday morning staple for me along with Josie and the Pussycats and H.R. Puffenstuff!!

What was the name of the little caveman kid-creature that lived with them?

Not sure what to make of this...I have never heard of Land of the Lost. Am I sheltered or are you all nuts

Geez, Elke, I join you. I am convinced that I must be out of touch with reality--never heard of this one, either! :?:

I think it was Chacka (sp?)

i suggest the power of netflix for anyone who needs to brush up on their kroft superstars. land of the lost was (and remains) the most amazing piece o' cr@p ever made. i mean that in the best possible sense.

bad acting. bad effects. so bad, it's wonderful.

do NOT get the 90's remake. go for the mid 70's original.

zoom back and forth between worlds in the mysterious pylons. tremble in fear (at the bad makeup) when confronted by the sleestacks. wish you could ride your own dinosaur.

Alex, you must be older than I thought.
I used to watch this every Saturday morning. The Sleestacs (sp?) always scared me. I think it was part of the Krofts family Saturday morning or something like that. There was another show that had a family who got shrunk with a laser or something too... liked that show too. :mrgreen:

Used to love, love, love this show. Thanks for the reminder 'cuz I haven't thought about it in years.

JeepGirl · by **JeepGirl** » August 5th, 2006, 5:37 pm

ok so at lunch today my sister brought up Sid & Marty Kroft (because of a t-shirt she found me) and OMG I was so thinking of this thread LOL

*sigh* I miss the 70's and early 80's at times.

DogMa · by **DogMa** » August 5th, 2006, 8:17 pm

OK, Puffenstuff fans. Did you also watch Lidsville, the spinoff? Charles Nelson Reilly was some sort of wizard, and all the townspeople were different kinds of hats.

YES! That was it! What a riot. I can hear the SleeStack breathing as we speak.

JeepGirl--I loved Jimmy on Puffenstuff with all my heart--what a crush (I was young, young elementary school.) Your T-shirt is probably worth something to a collector somewhere!

Thanks for the Saturday morning memories...eating Franken-Berry cereal and watching the classics.
