Marshall, Will, and Holly, on a routine expedition...
Met the gr-e-a-test earthquake, ever known...
High on the rapids, it struck their tiny raft...
And plunged them down, down, deep below...
Come on, join me on the Chorus...
TO THE L-A-N-D OF THE L-O-S-T(lost lost lost lost)
Man, that's some good stuff, and I mean the memory, not the show.
I caught some of Sci-Fi Channel's "Land of the Lost" marathon on Memorial Day, and here are a few observations:
1) That show is a lot worse than I remember
2) Special effects on television have come a LONG way
3) It did have some background story stuff ala Star Trek, and other sci-fi serials
4) Those Sleestak costumes were just silly
5) I got a kick out of all those BIG vegetables
6) Did they ever shower?
7) I really miss OLD SCHOOL Saturday morning kids shows
My kids are incredulous when I tell them about the OLD DAYS and having to get up early on Saturday morning to catch the good shows. If you're anywhere near my age you remember when we had THREE (3) TV stations--the ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates.
Remember when we were all freaked out over this brand new thing called HBO? Man, me and my friends watched it ALL THE TIME--didn't matter what show it was--it was REAL MOVIES ON TV! Sometimes we got lucky and caught an R rated one! "This program has been rated R, by the Motion Picture Association of America..."
Those were the days.
Now I sometimes find myself flipping through about 200 channels, and sayin' "THERE'S NOTHIN' ON TONIGHT!" Amazing.
Happy Memorial Day...remember to give thanks to/for ALL THOSE WHO SERVED, AND ALL THOSE STILL IN HARM'S WAY.
