Sean KleefeldIn memory of Sid Krofft, I'm going to present again my #LandOfTheLost / #DoctorWho crossover theory that posits that LOTL is just a DW spin-off. You'll be surprised how many connections the two shows have!
The basic premise of Land of the Lost is that the Marshall family slips through a crack in time and ends up in this mysterious land of dinosaurs. But beyond just dinosaurs, the place is populated with alien creatures like the Sleestak and the Zarn.
ChancerubbageI never gave it a chance.
Why?
Well the promos, commercials, even the shows intro, promised something it couldn’t deliver:
Stop Motion Animation. What we got instead of stop motion dinosaurs were sandpipers not quite up to ‘Triumph the insult comic dog’ standards.
I refused to watch in protest.
Of course stop motion on a weekly show would have been harder to produce than 2d flat animated cartoons.

I still knew what skeestaks were oddly enough
Are you sure? Can’t know what they are if you can’t spell it!
You may be confabulating them with Skeeks from Wall Of Voodoo
Maybe Autocorrect changed it I don’t know. Someone will figure it out.
