Land of the Lost was a fantastic adventured themed show for kids. My sisters and I watched reruns of it for years and the characters and tropes of the show were discussed often. In the world of Saturday Morning entertainment, it was one of the rare live-action shows that I would watch instead of a cartoon. So I am happy to cover it here on the Retroist Podcast.
I start the show with a little story about Land of the Lost. Then I discuss the people in front of and behind the camera, its production, reboot, and much more. Amazingly a Land of the Lost film is coming out this summer and I really hope they get the tone of the film right (although I have my doubts). Oh, and for all you list fan’s metagirl is back, and she's bringing us the top 5 Land of the Lost episodes of all time
Because they are doing a movie, its obvious Land of the Lost is not forgotten. That said, I think it is not a show younger people know about. Despite its slightly aged production value, I think its the type of show many kids would still enjoy. So if you can, please share this amazing bit of TV history. That way even if the movie is a bomb, future generations might learn to see the appeal of the original.
