Land of the Lost (1974–1977)
1/10
A real crap show...
25 May 2009
One of the low points 1970s kids Saturday morning television. Terrible on every count, but the so-called "acting" takes the prize. Of the "so bad it's bad" category, and that's about it, though I can understand how soft headed 20 and 30 year olds might "love" it thinking it's camp or due to some childhood "crushes" on the actors that they can't seem to get over. Hard to believe that some think that the last season went "downhill" and was "hokey"--it never went uphill and was hokey from the start! But then there's no accounting for taste and especially stupid taste.

Have been watching bits of the Sci-Fi network's LotL marathon, but I can't watch more than 2-3 minutes at a time without crinching at something. Holly and Cha-ka are especially grating. They act like those kids on BARNEY--phoney and just too much all around.

Hard to believe a Hollywood movie is being made from this show. Oh, wait, that's right: I mentioned 'Hollywood,' so it makes sense. In the land of No Ideas, why not go back to 70s kiddie trash and bloat it in to a big-budget summer flick! That's certainly a formula for success these days.
