Customer Reviews of Land of the Lost - The Complete First Season
Marshall, Will And Holly In A Complete 1st Season DVD! From September 1974 to November 1976 countless young Saturday morning viewers (myself included) of the 70s were spellbound by the innovative live-action series Land of the Lost. Created and produced by puppeteer brothers Sid & Marty Krofft, the show was about a forest ranger and his two children who fall through a time portal and find themselves in a prehistoric world. Ranger Rick Marshall (Spencer Milligan), his son Will (Wesley Eure), and daughter Holly (Kathy Coleman) encounter dinosaurs (aptly named "Grumpy," "Dopey," and "Big Alice") and Cha-ka (Philip Paley) and his apelike race the Paku. But most memorable from LOTL (just ask any fan of the show) were the Sleestaks, a lumbering, hissing race of reptilian creatures, who were performed by Dave Greenwood, John Lambert and Bill Laimbeer of Detroit Pistons fame.
As impressive as the special effects were back in the 70s, today they are considered as primitive as the dinosaurs that appear in the Land of the Lost itself. But don't be surprised if you find yourself appreciating the Ray Harryhausen-like techniques & effects and those surreal backgrounds, as it is very painstaking work with an end result that is uniquely satisfying. The cast was solid and gave strong performances. It's uncanny how the show puts the viewer in the Land of the Lost, which I've always regarded as "the ultimate camping trip." From the Marshall's cool above-ground, above-danger cave and their mirror "communicators," to their day-to-day adventures in the prehistoric world, the show was in a class by itself to which the inferior 90s Land of the Lost update paled in comparison.
The first season comprises of 17 episodes, one of which ("The Stranger") was written by Walter Koenig (Ensign Pavel Chekov from "Star Trek"). Rhino Video's previous 4-episode Land of the Lost DVD featured nice picture quality (for an early 70s print), 2.0 mono mix and 2 extras: an interview with the Krofft brothers themselves, and a 'look back' with Kathy Coleman (Holly) and Philip Paley (Cha-Ka), so as far as treatment and extras go you should expect no less for this long-awaited classic collection. Pour yourself a bowl of your favorite cereal, get lost in Land of the Lost and enjoy!(...)
A Saturday morning classic show gets royal treatment
At long last, the first season of LOTL has come out on DVD, and has been given a first-class treatment by Rhino. Even when viewing the disks on a PS2, the video and audio quality are superb for a thirty-year old television series.
As one of the most intelligent and intriguing Saturday morning series ever produced, the quality of episodes alone make this set worthy of purchase. But the three disks are full of many wonderful extras, including interviews with and commentaries by such luminaries of science fiction as Larry Niven, David Gerrold, Walter Koenig and Dorothy Fontana, as well as comments by the Krofft brothers, Wesley Eure (Will), and Kathy Coleman (Holly). Hopefully Spencer Milligan (Rick Marshall) will be interviewed for the upcoming second season set.
A superb release that all LOTL fans will appreciate. If you miss the Sleestak, Pakuni, and Skylons of your childhood (or want to introduce them to your own children) go out and buy this set now...you won't regret it!
ROFL
BILL LAMBEER IS ONE OF THE SLEESTAK.
LOL.
