If I had to pick one TV show that made me love dinosaurs as a kid, it was probably Land of the Lost. I honestly don’t remember much about the show itself, but I remember the intro (shown above) very well and all of the dinosaurs that were in it. A part of me always wished I could go back in time like the characters in the show and see dinosaurs up close and be their friends.
Anyway, apparently, Will Ferrell is starring in an upcoming film of the same name based on the original TV series. It’s supposed to come out in a couple of weeks (June 5, 2009) but so far I haven’t really seen any sort of advertising blitz for it.
Thanks for reminding me of this original intro though, Ray!
OH SHOOT!! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS SHOW!!! I used to watch it too. I remember that short purple dino thing at 0:39 and the monkey thing at 0:40. Looking at it now.. they kinda creep me out though. I think I saw part of the trailer on TV and I have to say it did not remind me of this show at all. It looked ridiculously stupid to me. It looked like a very low budget, poorly written movie and I was shocked it was coming out in theaters. I was expecting it to say “coming out on VHS” or something. In general I just don’t like really stupid movies though so it may just be me.
