"This show is a classic and a must to own! BUT WAIT FOR AMAZON.COM TO RELEASE THE BOX SET!!! Rhino Home Video has also released the COMPLETE SEASON BOX SET. SO DON'T JUST BUY THIS DVD! Why have only a couple of episodes.....WHEN YOU CAN HAVE THEM ALL!!! I love this show....it's the ONLY SID and MARTY KROFT show I can even stand to watch! I grew up watching this show along with Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc, etc. It's great that Rhino Hame Video is bringing these great shows to DVD!
I'll buy 'em all!!! As should you....So they keep releasing more of these great sets!"

"This television show is the essence of my childhood without a doubt. Back when it aired in the mid 70's I was only about 6 years of age, wearing green pajamas that covered my legs and feet and I walked around the house thinking I was a Sleestack. Every weekend in the morning I loved watching this show, it had awesome stories with mysterious caves and magical colored crystals.I'm glad that I found this DVD at amazon.com to purchase last week. I couldn't wait for it to arrive and when it did I introduced my 8-year-old niece to this show by watching these 4 episodes with her and she is hooked, as I am and will always be. I wish to purchase them all and I'm looking forward to obtaining them when they're available. This DVD is well worth the purchase, I just wish it had more episodes on it. Thanks Amazon.com for helping me buy a piece of my childhood."

"I remember being completely obsessed with LOTL when I was a kid. This show had everything a boy could ask for in a TV show in the early to mid 70's: dinosaurs, adventure, scary monsters, and an underlying creepiness that tingled the spine. LOTL is indisputably a classic to those of us who were growing up 25 or so years ago. In a group of your friends, sing "Marshall Will and Holly." Chances are you'll hear a resounding chorus of "On a routine expedition" in response.The five stars is for the quality of the show, particularly the enclosed episodes. The extras are interesting, but too brief. The interview with the Krofts peaked my interest in many ways, but I feel that a lot of intersting stuff was edited out, particularly relating to their early years (there's a bit about how holyman Billy Graham condemned them at the Seattle World's Fair in the early sixties because of sexy topless puppets featured in a show of theirs, which of course helped them to be the hottest show there, for example). The bit with the actors who played Chaka and Holly was interesting and all, but I wish they could have got more players involved to show up.Also, while the four episodes are excellent, I wish they would instead release the entire series chronologically as a box set. Honestly, this teaser just whets your appetite for more."
Memories NOT LOST!

"I grew up watching Sid & Marty Krofft shows! I remember this one the most! Every Saturdat morning I would wait for it to come on and you couldn't pry me away from the Television! (I did cover my eyes immediately when the sleestacks came on, for some reason I was deathly afraid of them back then...I also referred to them as the "sweestacks" and my parents still laugh at me to this day!)
Anyway, I wanted to share my Saturday morning experience with my son because we were recently discussing what was on when I was young. At first I was unsure on which disc to buy. I know that the entire first season is out, but this disc has two great interviews with both Holly and Cha-ka that I think made this disc worth the money. (Along with the episodes that are included on the disc of course!) I loved my Saturday's with the Marshall family : )
It's been fun revisiting my childhood and the Land of the Lost. I have great memories and now they are just a dvd away! It's great to see these older shows coming to dvd and I highly recommend them to anyone that was young or old growing up in the 1970's!"
