Sid and Marty Krofft were a big item in childrens' Saturday morning programming in the early to mid-70s, and this may have been the pinacle of their effort ... as least for me. I found all the Puffinstuff 'stuff' just far too silly.
For the first season of Land of the Lost, they had early efforts from some writers with names you recognize, such as David Gerrold, who wrote "The Trouble with Tribbles" for Star Trek several years earlier.
Second and third year scripts are not quite as good. Often relying on the "strange and not well explained occurrence of the week".
Of course, they lost "Rick Marshal" for the third season when the Krofft's wouldn't pony up what he thought to be a fair share of the toy market associated with the show.
