      That sounds like a slam. Im from he 70s . It is filled with fishing in a little boat with my dad ,. going to Florida and the Beach and even The Blue Ridge Mountains. On on of those vacations wile swimming dad pulled me out of my world and made me watch Nixon resign . At home i enjoyed Lemonaid stands with friends hanging out in a wash room converted into a play room.. fixed up by grandma.. Lighting bugs.... tree climbing.. swimming at the public pool.. playing a my friends house.... each house that had its charms. Imbedded in me is memories of my depression era grandma with apple pies blue berry muffin and ice tea.I recall those days where we drank longknecked bottled coke and evenings with a HUGE box fan in the dinning room window where dad and my brother would listen to Baseball... where stars lie Hank Aron and Johnny Bench would be house hold names. Despite the hell of hated war.. racial tensions... and Water gate us kids watched not 24 /7 news cycle but The Six Million Dollar Man. Little House on the Praire, The Waltons. The Flintstones and Land of the Lost. Maybe the hippies of that ear were lost...but not the little ones behind them necessarily . Interestingly there is generation called the Lost Generation but it was not us. I myself m the caboose of the Baby boomers being born in 1964 and the dawn of Gen x.Im a hybrid i guess. Sorry it was so miserable for u but for me despite family turmoil.. it was MAGIC!

    I remember great Saturday morning shows like it was only yesterday in the 70s like Schoolhouse Rock, Scooby Doo, Fat Albert, Superfriends, Pink Panther, Jabberjaw, Clue Club, Soul Train, American Bandstand, and one of the best live action shows of all time Land of the Lost!!!! Before there was no internet, cell phones, I pad too but it was wholesome TV entertainment!!! Kathy Coleman was the best respected actress in the world!!! Land of the Lost the best show of all time!!!! I was so shocked that they was going to do a fourth season of the show!!! But it was cancelled in 1977, That was a great show but it had a great run!!!! Kathy Coleman haven't been doing television roles after Land of the Lost so what happened after that!!!! Thanks so much for posting this video!!! I love it!!!! I love the 70s!!!! Can you dig it!!!!😃😃😃😃😀😀😀😀🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🎂🎂🎂🎂☕☕☕☕🎈🎈🎈🎈🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🥳🥳🥳🥳😁😁😁😁🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌈🌈🌈🌈♥️♥️♥️♥️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️☕☕☕☕✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

    I Remember waking up on Saturday mornings just to watch Land Of The Lost..... I was absolutely in love with Holly. She was a cute girl, and I could never talk to her. So... She was an idol. Some of us kids used to get together and "play" Land Of The Lost, and I would always say the blonde girl was Holly. I remember those days as if yesterday, and wow , how the times have changed. Just call me Maudlin.

    I watched this show on Saturday morning as a kid around 1974-1976, at ages 6-8 and saw her as an older, wiser, and more mature kid to look up to. Her older brother that was on Days of Our Lives later on seemed almost on the same level as the father.
    If I was 12-13 during that time, I might have seen her differently!

      @@jdsundstrom like so many other bad "remakes", as you called out, it was a dumb spoof laughing AT the old show.
      How anybody in Hollywood doesn't slap the writer in the face and remind them we can read Mad Magazine if we want to see a movie torched or watch MST3K - we don't want "new" material taking the names and story elements from our beloved old shows and see them burnt on a pyre. How they ever got the notion that this was the way to treat the material is beyond me.
      Will can actually act when he needs to - it's once again the fault of a script that completely failed to get what the nostalgia market IS.
      Shaft sequels with Sam Jackson added to the old story, didn't retcon it or make fun of it; same with Equalizer reboot with Denzel.
      Then you have this shitshow or Starsky & Hutch - tried to make fun of the source rather than a new adaptation of the source... fail!

      I too loved the old tv show but have to admit I really enjoyed the movie and watch it all the time. Yes it was a parody, yes it didn't even remotely attempt to "modernize" the old show into today but if you watch the old show now you see how absurdly but wonderfully ridiculous it all was. The movie took that absurdity and maximized it. I love the movie AND I love the old tv show. They both have a place. Maybe the movie was not a realistic interpretation but it worked for me.

    Another terrific video Dave!
    Sometime between 5 and 10 years ago, a cable channel aired the classic episodes. I watched faithfully, even as I was approaching 50. It was at that time that I was blown away buy some of the writers names that I would see on screen. You mentioned them in another video, if I recall.
    Unfortunately, I didn't get to see this one episode that has haunted me since childhood. I don't know if _"haunted"_ is the right word, but it certainly stuck with me. I'm only going by what I remember as a kid, but I remember her going down a hole on a rope. She ended up cutting her hand on the rope as she did so. A short time later she somehow meets a woman who helps her, encourages her and (I think) even lets her know that she will get out of the _Land of the Lost_ someday. We come to discover later on that this woman is an older version of Holly, because she has a scar on her hand where she cut it on a rope as a child.
    What always excited me about that show was the mystery of it all. The pylons, the ancient city, the lights in the sky, _Enik_ and the rest of the Sleestak. What a fantastic show.

      @@jdsundstrom Thanks so much! I must say, I'm more than a little surprised that I remembered it as well as I did. I love it when shows don't talk down to kids. One of my pet peeves with television sci-fi in general is the trope of adding a little kid to the show in order to provide a character for children watching to relate to. You see, I always wanted to be _Race Bannon_ when I watched *_Jonny Quest,_* not Johnny himself. It's perhaps one reason I gravitated more towards *_Star Trek_* more than *_Lost in Space._* I didn't want to be _Will Robinson_ when I watched, I wanted to be _Major Don West_ or _Professor Robinson._
      I'm a big *_Babylon 5_* fan, and I'd forgotten _DC Fontana_ wrote more than one episode. I was always so impressed at how many that _Joe Straczynski_ wrote himself. I think he even broke a record for how many episodes had been written in a row for a TV show. If not, he should have. I think there was a preposterously long stretch there where he wrote every single episode save one by the fantastic _Neil Gaiman_ (love his work!).

      The episode where the machines get stuck on their arrival and one set of the Marshalls escaped while another one gets caught was also a favorite!
      Both these episodes dealt with aspects of time travel beyond the original premise. I think this show help to develop this interest in me, which is still strong today. Part of my sci-fi library is devoted to this topic.
      I haven't seen an episode in decades but can still remember at least some of the opening song. Let me Know how much I have forgotten. Here it goes:
      Marshall, Will and Holly were on a routine expedition, when then greatest earthquake ever known .....
      (here it showed the rock falling and blocking their path home)
      High in the mountains struck their tiny(?) raft and threw/sent(?) them a thousand feet below to the land of the lost.

Then my Dad took me and my brother to see a little unknown flick at the local Cinema on the first Saturday after its release called Star Wars.. I still remember playing the Arcade games in the lobby at Lochwood. Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia really reminded me of a grown up Holly.. funny how all your memories can blend together. Funny.. later I recall Carrie Fisher in an Austrailian film called "Timestream" about a City that traveled up and down the Timestream like a moving railroad.. the early 80's was a bizzare time... then Tron came along.
