Rhino vs Universal,
By Guy (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Land of the Lost: Season 3 (DVD)
I was born in 1973, so of course I grew up watching Land Of The Lost and loved it! A few years ago, I was elated to learn that this series was now available in a DVD collection, by Rhino. I bought the complete first season and enjoyed reliving my childhood. However, recently I tried to purchase season 2 and 3 and ran into a dilemma. I had the choice of buying the remaining seasons from the Rhino collection, as before, or from a new collection put out by Universal Studios. I searched all the reviews on Amazon to determine which release was better and to make sure the new Universal releases had good special features like all the commentary the Rhino releases had, but could not find one review that would say one way or the other. I finally gambled and went with the newer releases by Universal because they had better looking covers compared to the Rhino releases and I was thinking "newer release should equal better." I quickly learned, after they were delivered, that the cover-art was where Universal's superiority ends. The Universal releases basically did not have any special feature except for a short interview with Sid and Marty Krofft at the end of Season 3.
Also, as if that wasn't enough, the menu interface was so bad and unfriendly that whoever designed it should probably be fired. The menu would have only three or two episode thumbnails on each menu page, and they were arranged in a way that made it difficult to move and highlight one episode to the next or to select the "more" link. The cases are also difficult to put back into the main case. After I received my Universal DVDs and discovered how bad they were, I did an online search (outside of Amazon) and finally found reviews telling me what I'm telling you now. I wouldn't recommend buying the Universal releases unless you're a major collector and want them for the cover-art or don't care for the special features the Rhino collection has. This is one of those rare cases when the newer release is not nearly as good as the older release. I hope this helps someone avoid making the same mistake I made. Hopefully, I will be able to sell my Universal releases (at a really low price) to someone who doesn't care about the differences. I have since bought season 2 and 3 from Rhino and enjoy them very much! By the way, I was also profoundly disappointed in the new Land Of The Lost movie, starring Will Ferrell. I could have written a better script in my sleep, casted better actors more suitable for those characters, and directed a far better film, even though I've never directed a movie before in my life! Here's a clue to those who made that movie. The series has always been viewed by the original fans as creepy and scary! It was never meant to be turned into a comedy!

Land of the Lost should have had as many seasons as "Gunsmoke",
By
This review is from: Land of the Lost: Season 3 (DVD)
This 3rd and final season of Land of the Lost reminded me a lot of Gilligan's Island. Why? People just kept showing up every week our of the blue and Will, Holly and Uncle Jack just treated that as normal. They also never figured out how to get back home.
One of the Osmond brothers wrote the theme song for this season and it's horrible. They should have kept the original theme. The guy that played Uncle Jack on this one was also the white dude on the Planet of the Apes t.v. show. On the DVD extras he said he liked the storylines in this show better than Planet of the Apes. On Saturday mornings back in the day I don't think they ever showed much of season 3 in reruns. If you have Season's 1 & 2 of Land of the Lost you should get season 3 because you have to complete your collection. You don't want people thinking your some kind of freak that just watches complete season's 1 & 2 of something and then just stops there!

Another Awesome Season!!!,
This review is from: Land of the Lost: Season 3 (DVD)
After seeing the extremely awesome Land of the Lost movie, I decided to buy the complete set. This season was pretty good, but very different. Rick Marshall is transported back to Earth, the same time his brother Jack comes looking for them. Cha-Ka speaks English. Their home in the Land of the Lost is destroyed, and they are forced to find a new place to live. During the course of this season Will turns invisible, the Sleestak tamper with the sunlight, they meet Medusa, go aboard the Flying Dutchman, stop an Abominable Snowman, Cha-Ka turns evil, and much more! I highly recommend LAND OF THE LOST: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON!!!
