I started reading the comments in the hopes that someone would shed some light on the question: Which came first Sid and Marty Kroft's "Land Of The Lost" or Hanna Barberra's "Valley Of The Dinosaurs"? They are very similar. Modern family dealing with dinosaurs and cave men, Two kids a boy and a girl, somewhat preachy parents, everything working out in the end. They were both in 1974. You might say "well "Valley Of The Dinosaurs" must have come first because it was animated" but the fact is it was REALLY REALLY CRAPPY limited animation and "Land Of The Lost" had stop motion animation. So which one came first? and was one a copy of the other?
