When I was a kid I thought I was the only one that ever liked this show.

Was there a cartoon version of this with some rhino type guy that shot stuff from his horn?
This is before my time

You're thinking of the Herculoids.

The cheesy special effects in this show are hilarious. If they weren't so bad, the show wouldn't be quite as good.

Chaka is a gay little Ron-Howard's-brother looking thing.

I'm watching Land of the Lost right now with my 6 year old son, the first time he sees a dinosaur on the show, he tells me "Dad, that dinosaur doesn't look very real."

BTW, the dude who plays Chaka looks better with the Chaka makeup on.

LOL, they just got out of the water and not five minutes later their clothes were totally dry.

It would be great show if the actors and special effects were better but it still has a lot of hillarious comedic value in its 70's cheezyness...hehehehe lol

It's just awful.

The 3 and 5 year old seemed to like it enough though.

Got an "Unca Gabe, my toy dino looks realer" comment out of the 5 year old though.

I've got to agree with him there.

if i were them i might kick it with Enik but the sleestaks were definitely too slow for the east coast lifestyle i've grown accustomed to. i'd probably just end up dodging them all day. like lister i too had a crush on Hollie, looking back i was obviously single digits or close to it in age. i didn't remember Cha-ka's brow-ridge being so pronounced either. must have some of that redhead neandertal in em i suppose.
