Week of June 5: Land of the Lost, the series

The productions of Sid and Marty Kroft are remembered as tools of the 1970s and Saturday mornings. One of them, "Land of the Lost," has been made into a feature film with Will Ferrell.

The television series ran from 1974-77 on NBC. It was about a family, a park ranger and his two children, who were caught up in an earthquake and wound up in a land with dinosaurs. The cast never really became famous (The most famous person was Bill Laimbeer, the basketball player.). And a look at the introduction shows how far television hadn't yet come with special effects.

But the show became a cult classic, and has been released on DVD. The movie will be in theaters this week.

See you next week. Until then, Happy Viewing!
