@Peter:
It must have depended on your local tv stations. I was born in '68, but the local stations in Philadelphia certainly played the Krofft shows... or maybe it was the "Krofft Hour"? Sigmund and Land of the Lost, I remember vividly, along with the Bugaloos and the Banana Splits; HR Pufnstuff a little less so. Problem is, though I remember them being on, I didn't *watch* them -- they scared the *crap* out of me, every one. (Also, the character of Holly on LotL irritated me, esp. since I shared her name, which was rare in the 70s.)
@Biff:
Now, that disappoints me greatly: to hear that a LotL movie *is* being done, but, to judge from the casting of Will Ferrell, it's going to be a spoof. *sigh* Coincidentally, a group of us were discussing "Jurassic Park" this weekend, and we said in all seriousness that a LotL movie done with today's special effects might actually be awesome. But we weren't thinking "spoof".
@playajackal:
"...to the intense creepiness of the lizard-men Sleestaks - anyone else get goosebumps at the sound of their hissing as the characters ran through the tunnels?"
Good lord, yes! Exactly -- the Sleestak, above all else, terrified me.
