I caught an episode of the original Land of the Lost. I loved that show, along w/ all the other old Sid & Marty Croft shows. Wow, it was bad. You KNOW that the Crofts were sky HIGH making those shows. HR Puff n Stuff w/a singing flute? No coherent person could make that up...

I never thought about that before....HR Puffing Stuff!! you never know!! When you mentioned HR P&S, I had to look up a show I watched sometimes as tyke: Sigmund The Sea Monster!! another Croft show. This show came after Puff'n'Stuff, obviously they had some "stuff" left over.

What was that show where...at the beginning... a bunch of costumed characters always rode around in 6-wheel dune buggy-type things? I think that was a Croft show also...?

You’re talking about the “Banana Splits” which was actually a HB production though AFAIR the Kroffts did some work on it and H. R. Pufnstuf was a sort of spin off.

One of my fave shows was "The Rat Patrol" (1966-68) as a kid: what kid doesn't like jeeps and army tanks? Trouble was, by the time I was 10 I was wondering why the German Army was using M3's against the Allies in North Africa. Anyway, I remember loving that show, I saw a few minutes of an episode a while back, other than the nostalgia it was rather unbearable.

Another biggie from the 60's was "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" which was pretty cool, what with all the 'special effects'. There may not be any Star Trek series had this show not existed beforehand. Alas, men dressed up as human sized plankton attacking the crew of the ship, isn't as groundbreaking as it once was.

Still, this is the nature of the industry...we have come along way in the spec effects area, but it was older shows and movies like the original 'King Kong' and 'Wizard of Oz' ect that made the first(huge) steps.

If you guys go back that far, I'm surprised no one mentioned Johnny Quest. I always thought the puppet one was cool looking, though a bit creepy.
