The Land of the Lost was one of many cheesy and cheap Saturday morning programs that I watched when I was a kid. Like several other similar Seventies programs by creators Sid and Marty Kroft, the show featured live actors negotiating sets that delivered all the Styrofoam boulders, costumes with visible seams, and puppets you could expect from a low budget children's program. In the program, the Marshall family (Dad, son, and daughter) fall through a time-space portal while white water rafting and end up in a land of dinosaurs puppets, latex lizard men, and spray-painted pigs. As a child, I enjoyed Land of the Lost, as well as Sigmund the Seamonster, the Lost Space Saucer, The Bugaloos, HR Puffinstuff, and the Far Out Space Nuts (nice that Gilligan was able to find work, again).
