Land of the Lost

Do any of you remember that show in the late 70's early 80's called "Land of the Lost"? It was about a dad and his two kids who get lost in another time zone or world where dinosaurs and aliens lived. (Apparently it was such a hit that Will Ferrell has a spoof coming out based on that series.) Remember?  

Remember now? I vaguely remembered the show so when Jacob checked out the complete first season from the library I wasn't too worried. We popped the first DVD in and sat down to watch. Lindsey and I immediately started laughing - if the story line didn't scream "OUTDATED!" the graphics most definitely did. Lindsey even commented that the background looked like paper. (I did watch a few episodes as a child and thought the graphics were pretty cool. My how times have changed.) Anyway, the kids loved the shows. They couldn't get enough of them. I think they even rivaled Scooby-Doo on the "Can we watch something?" request.  It's been about 3 weeks since we returned the DVDs to the library and the kids are still talking about "Grumpy" and "Sleestacks." Even Ethan joins along when they sing the theme song "to the land of the lah-ah-ah-st."

Today upon checking my email I found an "arrived hold notice" from our local public library. (Now that Lindsey has learned how to place books on hold and check the catalog online I am finding these emails in my inbox quite often.) Apparently - there is a "Land of the Lost - the complete second season." Who knew? And it's waiting for us. Good times ahead.  Jealous?
