Sometimes that show was the coolest thing on TV and sometimes it was cheesy--often both in one episode! I could've done without the Brady Bunch elements and Cha-ka. But the dinosaurs and the Sleestaks and the Pylons were so cool, as was that one episode where Holly met Medusa. I watched that show avidly--I think that and Superfriends were my two favorites on Saturday morning. I also liked some of the other Krofft shows a lot--especially Sigmund the Sea Monster, Lost Saucer, Dr. Shrinker, ElectraWoman and DynaGirl, and Far Out Space Nuts (the latter which I've read influenced the Cantina scene in Star Wars). BTW here's a fun book on all those shows:

David Martindale, Pufnstuf & Other Stuff: The Weird and Wonderful World of Sid & Marty Krofft

Gotta do some stuff here--back in a bit.

Whoa...you are several up on me!!! I dont recognize any of those shows...although reviewing them, I am suddenly reminded of one attempt to do a lost in space kind of show that had Bob Denver in it...a kind of 'gilligan in space.'

A year before my hubby began working at his current company, the owners of the company three a 'Gilligan Returns" kind of party...and the special guest was Bob Denver!!

On top of that, the best friend of an ex looked almost exactly like Bob Denver...it was scary actually...just as nice though.

just thought y'all would like to know!!! LoL
