Movie Description This sci-fi staple of Saturday-morning TV originally aired from 1974-77, subsequently achieving lasting cult status amongst fans of all ages. The show followed the adventures of Ranger Rick Marshall (Spencer Milligan) and his two children, Will (Wesley Eure) and Holly (Kathy Coleman), whose canoeing trip takes an unexpected turn when they accidentally tumble over a waterfall and enter the Land of the Lost. This is an alternate, ancient realm peopled by the peaceful, Neanderthal-esque Pakuni tribe, as well as the evil lizard creatures known as the Sleestaks, who only come out at night and are afraid of fire. The family also encounters a number of dinosaurs (both friendly and otherwise), the Abominable Snowman, and even Medusa. The puppeteering effects of creators Sid and Marty Krofft were fairly revolutionary at the time, and although special effects have vastly improved since then, the strength of its storylines and its highly endearing characters earned LAND OF THE LOST a permanent spot in the pop-culture pantheon. This collection includes every episode from the show's first season.
