Only my memory is that Land of the Lost was better. Better written and in this game of course that means better ideas as this is an idea medium--science fiction.
A good cast couldn't really save a show limited by budget and by not so great writing and directing.
I was sad when it was canceled as I routed for the show to get better, but in truth it never took off creatively, or was given much of a chance to.
McDowell was sort of LOST IN SPACE, Dr. Smith character only not, thankfully, played for laughs. Nonetheless Dr. Smith became a pop culture figure.
Of course this show had more potential than Fantasy Island--sort of a non romantic, or schmaltz, version of that concept--and somehow again that show took off in the ratings and this barely had a run.
