Anyone here a fan of theirs? Land of the Lost ruled! So cheesy, but still better than some of the drivel on today.

You mean this "Land of the Lost"? I watched reruns when I was around 6 or 7, it's one of my earliest TV memories. I don't know anything about this Sid and Marty. The producers?

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Ooohhh, Ric's comment gives me an idea for a new thread...

I didn't watch the seventies version, but I remember loving the remade version in the early nineties.

I think thats the version he is talking about.

What with this thread and Bossk's, I'm getting hit pretty hard with nostalgia today.

Yes. Actually, as I remember it, Land of the Lost was part of a full hour called the Sid & Marty Kroft hour that featured many kids shows that they created. Some of the others included Sigmund the Sea Monster, Witchi-poo, a cheap Gilligan's Island in space type deal with the actors who played Gilligan and Skipper, then one more called the Bug-a-Boos (may be wrong about that one being a S&M K creation). IMO Land of the Lost was the best of them by far.

I watched the 70s version, it was broadcasted here in the mid 80s by a local network. It was probably the cheapest thing they had available to fill time...
