When I was 10 years old, Land of the Lost debuted on NBC as a Saturday morning kids show produced by Sid Krofft and Marty Krofft Productions. It told the story of the Marshall family who, due to an unfortunate rafting mishap, were transported to another world, where prehistoric dangers lurked around every corner — naturally, as a kid, I ate this stuff up.
The show ran for three seasons and 43 episodes in all, which, if you’re familiar with any of the other Sid and Marty Krofft shows, is the equivalent of a show running for 10 years or more. Sid and Marty usually only had their shows run for a single season, or maybe two if it was super popular, and then they’d move on to the next project and find ways to repackage the old stuff over and over.
