Very Cool!!!

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

As a 70's child I loved this show.... It is amazing that with such little money and bad acting, we were all so entertained for so long. I enjoyed this so much as a kid that I have purchased the series on DVD for my children. Nowdays for a lot of children, unless the budget is in the millions and all the imagination is removed (creating mindless, non-thinking zombies) they cannot sit and enjoy the simple things.As "cheesy" as some say this series was, by reading some responses here, it made a lot of us "70's" kids get up early on a Saturday morning! I have also found lids-ville, Sigmund the sea monster, HR puff and stuff, lost saucer and far out space nuts episodes on DVD.At nearly 40, I am able to visit my childhood every Saturday with my kids when we watch them....

Do keep in mind that for the vast majority of those posting here, we are looking at the series through adult eyes, yet the show was never intended for adults. This show was extremely well written for what it was, and for it's intended audience.If you look at the show today as an adult, accepting the fact that the show was created for kids only, you would then see just how incredibly well-written it was. My favorite episode? I have two. The first is the one where they find the bones and uniform of a soldier from either the Civil War or the Revolutionary War (I can't remember which), and then the one where an alternate Marshall Will and Holly are found sticking out of a wall in a cave. See? For a Saturday morning kid's show, it was incredible. It wasn't the West Wing, but it never was intended to be that, either.

We ordered this on Netflix for our 8 year old who loves dinosaurs. He loved it just as much as we did, back in the day. My nine year old daughter liked it too. Tried doing a lookup on the main character actors - doesn't seem they did much in the way of movies or TV after the show. Can't believe we made our parents watch this - love the special effects now ... how the three of them are in a raft and the size of the river looks to be about 8 inches across, and the bricks slam down on it, then they're in the same jungle scene time after time, and its always dusty ... :D Didn't know that Walter Koenig wrote an episode - his commentary is on the Disc 1 features - kind of funny to here him without a Slovak accent. Brings back some nice memories.

First off..I must reiterate that there was no trap door. The Marshall family ended up in the Land of the Lost by traveling down a waterfall.Secondly, I must stress that this show may have been the most entertaining and original of all time. Where else do you get to see pea sized boulders being hurled at the main characters? Where else to you get to see mini wok befriending anyone other than Han solo? There is also something I need to bring up...I find a striking, almost shocking similarity between Jamie (the brother from Small Wonder) and Chaka the hairy little beast that has a schoolgirl crush on Holly? This show ranks among the best...mash, cheers, st. elsewhere, land of the lost - that is my take.
