The Sci-Fi Channel is going to be running the original episodes of "Land of the Lost" on Monday May 25th, Thursday June 4th, and Friday June 5th. (Check you local listings for the correct distortions to your time-space continuum.)

One of the greatest fans of this nifty show is Sleestak over at Lady, That's My Skull.

People seem to be eagerly awaiting me to go ballistic over this film. More likely I'll just be disappointed as I'd prefer a hard-SF version over the zany film we are getting. I suspect that the trailer contains all the 'best' parts of the movie.

I am eager to see the old TV series again, though. I met David Gerrold (one of the show's writers) at a Star Trek convention when I was a kid. He was kind of a dick, though.

At Thu May 21, 11:20:00 AM, Sleestak said...: It's important to look past the low budget effects and pay attention to the story. What's very interesting is the hate-on the two kids had for each other. Very good characterization for a kid's TV show.

I want the original LoL.

At Tue May 26, 10:28:00 AM, Dr. Zaius said...: Randal Graves: A new form of torture for the young Randallites! How nice. :o)

Sleestak: I had forgotten about that, but after seeing it again I can see that you are right. Those kids hated each other!

Zirgar: You win the geek crown for the day! ;o)

Dean Wormer: We shall see... Maybe you are right.

The Hermit: Enik was very cool, in his own Vulcan-ish Sleestak way.
