Another item I could have gotten if I had went to SDCC . . . aargh. Funko apparently only made a few hundred of these, so E-Bay’s your best option now (which is where I got this image from someone selling it for a $30 Buy It Now price).

Living in the Land of the Lost
Much to the chagrin of my wife, my daughter and I marked Labor Day with a “Land of the Lost” marathon since it rained most of the day. My wife especially hates the theme song (MP3).
I had nightmares through most of the 1970s which involved being chased through underground caverns by Sleestaks and an entire other set of nightmares related to crossbows which were inspired by the weapons the lizard men chose to use. Nothing except the Howling ever approached the nightmare quotient that Land of the Lost did, at least for me.
One of the interesting things watching it now is just how many prominent sci-fi authors wrote scripts for the show. Watching the credits go by and seeing Ben Bova, Larry Niven, and others credited with writing episodes speaks to why it received such (relatively) high ratings for a Saturday morning kid’s show.
Season 1 is available on a 3 DVD set already, and Season 2 will be out later this month.
