- StarsMarvin MillerTed KnightJane WebbThe government employs a team of experts who are shrunken to microscopic size to infiltrate and combat otherwise impenetrable threats.This cartoon is different to the famed 1966 movie! The submarine does not just go into a human body, but rather, it goes all over the place.

- CreatorFrank D. GilroyStarsGene BarryGary ConwayRegis ToomeyThe millionaire captain of the LAPD homicide division is driven to the crime scenes in his 1962 Rolls-Royce by his loyal chauffeur.Gary Conway and composer Leith Stevens.

- DirectorErnest B. SchoedsackStarsAlbert DekkerThomas ColeyJanice LoganA mad scientist working in the South American jungle miniaturizes his colleagues when he feels his megalomania is threatened.This is generally regarded as the FIRST good "little people with giants" production ever made!

- DirectorRichard FleischerStarsRex HarrisonSamantha EggarAnthony NewleyAfter the animal communicating veterinarian goes too far for his clientele, he and his friends escape their hometown to the sea in search of the Great Pink Sea Snail.The Shell Game episode of LOTG used the snail set.
- DirectorFranklin J. SchaffnerStarsCharlton HestonRoddy McDowallKim HunterAn astronaut crew crash-lands on a planet where highly intelligent non-human ape species are dominant and humans are enslaved.LOTG was originally going to be called - Planet Of The Giants - but had to switch to "Land" because Fox was making this at the time.

- StarsDerek JacobiOlivia WilliamsAngus MacfadyenOne of the most legendary adventures in all mythology is brought to life in an epic saga of one man's quest for the Golden Fleece, a gift from the gods.Giants. Under-rated. And what a great way to begin the new century! But, I am guessing it was actually made in 1999?

- DirectorRod AmateauStarsBob DenverAlan Hale Jr.Jim BackusThe pilot episode that tells the tale of a tiny ship which set off on a three-hour tour but got caught in a storm and beached on an island. The pilot was filmed in November 1963, and not aired until almost 30 years later.This Gillligan's Island lost pilot is actually 100 times better than the series that would follow. Shades of LOTG. Both shows have two cute women who are marooned.
- DirectorRon WinstonStarsBarry NelsonNancy MaloneDenise LynnA hung-over couple awaken to find themselves not only in a strange house, but in a deserted town, where nothing is as it should be.Shades of the LOTG episode: The Ghost Town.

- DirectorWilliam BeaudineStarsJohn McIntireJames FranciscusHarry BellaverA young gang member is assigned to perform a revenge shooting after a member of his own gang is killed.The Lost Ones / Every Dog Needs a Boy. Note: The high quality of this Naked City episode might inspire you to track down the whole series of Naked City - I would think twice about that. I am not saying the show is bad but I am not saying it is that good. Take away the wonderful location filming of New York/the jazzy Billy May music cues and you are left with some of TV's most boring police officers. But having said this, another episode with David Janssen (A Wednesday Night Story) is still worth a viewing.
- DirectorLeigh JasonStarsArch Hall Jr.Robert PagetBurr MiddletonA gang of teenage delinquents terrorize a small community by stealing cars and stripping them for parts, then selling the parts to a crooked junkyard owner. The police and an insurance company investigator set out to break up the gang.The Lost Ones / Every Dog Needs a Boy
- DirectorJack ArnoldStarsRuss TamblynJan SterlingJohn Drew BarrymoreA tough kid comes to a new high school and begins muscling his way into the drug scene.

- DirectorPaul WendkosStarsDennis WeaverEstelle ParsonsKristoffer TaboriA family's outing turns out badly as they are terrorized by a gang of young thugs.The Lost Ones / Every Dog Needs a Boy
- DirectorDon WeisStarsJack LordWilliam SmithHerman WedemeyerUsing radio-controlled model airplanes, three college students engineer the theft of the Hawaiian crown jewels.Shades of Land of the Giants episode - A Small War - with misguided youth using model planes for the wrong reasons!

Authorities initially believe it was an assassination attempt on the general's life. Five-O, however, turns up leads that the lead protester was the intended victim of the killer. McGarrett & Co. probe the backgrounds of the other protesters. While the young people protested for peace, it turns out some of them did have motive.Misguided youth.

All is going well until a gang of pirates arrives on the island looking for a hidden treasure.Irwin Allen made better pilots in the 60s. There is a lot of walking and running around the island here. At one point I got a surprise when characters stopped moving around and started talking instead. The endless Planet of the Apes music cues and the volcano are fun. Some of the regular cast is missing. Seen in 2024.
- DirectorDavid Lowell RichStarsMartin MilnerPat DelaneyWillie AamesA fierce storm shipwrecks the Robinsons on an island, abandoned by the crew. While exploring their new home Fred and Ernie find a deserted hut which puts them in peril as it a spiritual place for the natives.Impressive start to the series after the bumpy pilot. The family seem like a family and everything seems to be going okay at this point. I was watching a very faded print of this episode which made the typhoon footage less pleasing. Seen in 2024.
- DirectorChristian I. Nyby IIStarsMartin MilnerWillie AamesPat DelaneyJeremiah's pet hawk returns but elation soon turns to concern. The raptor's focus is on the livestock of the Robinson's especially Helga's pet goat. A difficult decision must be made by Jeremiah.The pre-credit sequence is very well scored and filmed. Jeremiah's pet makes a nice story idea but not really compelling enough for me. Seen in 2024.
- DirectorDon McDougallStarsMartin MilnerPat DelaneyWillie AamesTwo escaped British prisoners capture Lotte and Helga, holding them hostage. Karl and his sons must find a way to rescue them without anyone getting injured.Normally the episodes with island visitors are the best but this one is less pleasing than the other island guest adventures. Seen in 2024.
- DirectorRobert DouglasStarsMartin MilnerWillie AamesPat DelaneyErnie goes missing and the rest of the castaways fan out in a search for him. Mother Lotte finds a cave and while looking there is trapped in a landslide. The rest of the group are frantic to free her.No guest stars.

And a weird native kid. Seen in 2024.
- DirectorGeorg FenadyStarsMartin MilnerPat DelaneyWillie AamesWhile exploring a rugged part of the island Jeremiah come down witn a life threatening illness.
