Land of the Lost news from around the world and beyond
(The oldest
items start at the bottom of the page)
LOTL70 = the three
seasons of the original Land of the Lost television series of the 1970s
featuring the Marshall family.
LOTL90 = the two seasons of the Land of the Lost television series of
1990s featuring the Porter family.
An early review of the new Land of the Lost DVD boxed set from Universal.
Here are a couple of amusing Cha-ka and Sleestak drawings by artist Bob Canada on flickr.com: Cha-ka vs. Sleestak and Cha-ka Has a Sna-ka.

Another LOTL-related item from our friends at Lady, That's My Skull, this time posted on flickr. I have a ton of old Starlog issues, but missed this one somehow. I even remember seeing thumbnails of all the Starlog covers in the past, including this one, but never quite looked at it closely enough to realize that it was the Lost City and Big Alice on the cover! Click on the cover image to visit flickr and begin reading. | ||||||||||||||||
| I noticed something on page 3 of the article. There is a photo of the Grumpy stop-motion model with a figure in the background. The caption on the image explains, | |||||||||||||||||
| "The man-sized figure in the background is used to line up the live action with the stop-motion sequences as they are transferred to video-tape. The figure is kept in the frame while the TV cameras line the live action with the filmed dinosaurs. The model only appears in the first few feet that are used for this alignment and then is removed when the live action and film are taped." | |||||||||||||||||
The background figure
looks a lot like the shape of the Altrusian guardian
statue from the episode "Ancient Guardian." Maybe
this make-shift figure was the inspiration for the
script?

Assault on High Bluff Here is an awesome piece of art by Ben Mackey! Click the thumbnail to go to his posting on DeviantART. I like the 3 crossbow bolts imbedded in Will’s shoulder, the blood on Rick’s sleeve, the animal look on Cha-ka’s face. Like a mature version of Land of the Lost. Also, check out his stylized (Mignola-ized?) Sleestak! |

Where Turok Meets the
Land of the Lost T. lex got a nod in the blog of Rob Schmidt, Newspaper Rock - Where Native America Meets Popular Culture. Rob comments on my episode study of "Medicine Man" which features the Nez Perce character of Lone Wolf (and whom I compare to comic book character Turok). |

Another Parallel Universe? Is this another parallel universe version of the Marshalls? No, just Lost List member (and LOTL fanatic) Jerry Leighton and daughter Natalie, all made up as the Marshall patriarch with torch in hand and his perky daughter Holly for a visit to their local theater to see the Land of the Lost movie! Sweet! Way to go, guys! |
