The new Land Of The Lost was a total disappointment to me. I thoroughly loved the original - it had great dinosaurs for the time, and the new one had dinosaurs that weren't good for this time. The family in the original was very real - the kids fought, but their love for each other shone through. The original sleestaks were far scarier than the newer ones, and the backgrounds, the special effects, were so cool on the original. The story and effects on the new Land Of The Lost were so crazy - a jeep, a bush bunny named Christa, and an extremely unreal looking baby dinosaur. All that said, I hope that the new one will somehow be as much of an enjoyment, a life-changing, never-to-be-forgotten experience as the original was for this LOTL-er when she was seven years old.
The special effects are amazing. So amazing, in fact the same scenes must be reused over and over - and it never gets old! The episode with the dinosaurs was just great. Those Sleestaks always gave me nightmares when I was little; creepy! Ed Gale does such a great job in this show. 15 years later and I still sing the theme song in the shower every morning!! "Doncha turn your back -- you'll become a snack!" I have all the action figures, and they reside on my mantle. As I grow older and my hairline recedes, I look more and more like Stink every day. LOTL will hold a special place in my heart 4eva. In conclusion if there's anything to be learned from LOTL it is to always wear your seat belt and steer clear of potholes.
When I was around 5 years old this new Land of The Lost came out. Like any 5 year old I had no idea it was a remake. I'm 16 now and I still have a vague recalection of these "remake" episodes. If you'd ask me I loved it. Although I havn't seen the older ones, if they're better than these I need to try to find one and watch it.
I have to agree with Wakener below with his comments on this sub par remake of the original show.
I wonder if the people who decided to make this show were actually fans of the original or if they were only taking advantage of the current dinosaur craze of the early 1990's.
I just hope that the people who are making the theatrical movie version of this show (starring Will Ferrell), which is supposed to stand true to the original series, won't louse it up.
I bet if Steven Spielberg or Tim Burton got their hands on a theatrical release of the original television show, a descent movie could be made.

- TriviaTwo episodes were written for this series but never shot...
ACES WILD: Two World War 1 air corps pilots - one French, one German - accidentally tap into the Land while dog-fighting. Christa and the Porters convince both fliers to put aside their differences. However, amid efforts to return them to turn-of-the-century Europe, Kevin lets it slip that Germany will lose the war...*and* that there will be a Second World War, even more tragic than the First, two decades thereafter. The German ace decides he can win the First War, and prevent the Second, by using Shung's power-crystal...which he accordingly steals. What he doesn't know is that, if Germany does win, Tom's parents will never meet and thus he won't exist - which means that neither will Annie and Kevin!
FINE PRINT: Annie struggles with homesickness...tempered with Kevin's frustration that numerous people come and go from the Land of the Lost, yet the Porters are never among them. That's when a beautiful red-clad young woman, who calls herself Lucy, rescues the siblings from a Sleestak ambush. Lucy explains that she can send the Porters back home, provided they sign a pact with the Devil; indeed, her name turns out to be short for "Lucifer"! Annie, Kevin, and even Christa agree to Lucy's terms; yet Tom hesitates to do the same, despite Annie's speculation that the Land actually *is* Hades. Ultimately, Tom's suspicions regarding Lucy prove correct; now he must draw on his experience as a lawyer to save the souls of his kids, and of Christa.
