GREAT! BUT WAIT FOR THE BOX SET!, April 22, 2002
This review is from: Land of the Lost (DVD)
This show is a classic and a must to own! BUT WAIT FOR AMAZON.COM TO RELEASE THE BOX SET!!! Rhino Home Video has also released the COMPLETE SEASON BOX SET. SO DON'T JUST BUY THIS DVD! Why have only a couple of episodes.....WHEN YOU CAN HAVE THEM ALL!!! I love this show....it's the ONLY SID and MARTY KROFT show I can even stand to watch! I grew up watching this show along with Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc, etc. It's great that Rhino Hame Video is bringing these great shows to DVD! I'll buy 'em all!!! As should you....So they keep releasing more of these great sets!

Land of the Lost lives on ;-), June 9, 2002
This review is from: Land of the Lost (DVD)
This television show is the essence of my childhood without a doubt. Back when it aired in the mid 70's I was only about 6 years of age, wearing green pajamas that covered my legs and feet and I walked around the house thinking I was a Sleestack. Every weekend in the morning I loved watching this show, it had awesome stories with mysterious caves and magical colored crystals. I'm glad that I found this DVD at amazon.com to purchase last week. I couldn't wait for it to arrive and when it did I introduced my 8-year-old niece to this show by watching these 4 episodes with her and she is hooked, as I am and will always be. I wish to purchase them all and I'm looking forward to obtaining them when they're available. This DVD is well worth the purchase, I just wish it had more episodes on it. Thanks Amazon.com for helping me buy a piece of my childhood.

Great show, and not just for kids--, July 23, 2000
This review is from: Land of the Lost (DVD)
I hadn't seen this show since I was about 5 or 6 years old, so when I saw this DVD at the store, I grabbed it immediately. I don't know how kids today will react to it, given all the high-tech special f/x that are taken for granted. The fact is, this show really had a lot of good ideas behind it and it stands up well. From an adult perspective, it's fun to look at how horrible the f/x look, and wonder how I ever was convinced it was real. Some of the stuff in these four episodes is pretty far out. Consider the part when ape-boy Chaka comes over for dinner, and little Holly gets all dolled up with make-up and perfume. As Chaka becomes apparently very attracted to the young girl, her brother and father chuckle about how she's "becoming a woman." Then later, Chaka and his ape-parents kidnap Holly and take her back to their home where they can't stop oogling her and sniffing her body (supposedly its because of the perfume). Pretty weird... The DVD is a good value for the price. There are four episodes which run approximately 22 minutes each. For bonus features there is a very interesting 16-minute interview with Sid and Marty Krofft and even more entertaining a 14-minute new interview with the actor that played Chaka and the actress that played Holly. The adult Chaka is a relatively composed and dignified man. The woman that played Holly, however, laughs hysterically throughout the interview. She seems kind of demented. And boy oh boy-- I had a crush on Holly as a kid, but I would have never thought she would look like this today-- Yikes!
