Land of the Giants

[remember]

Land of The Giants was an hour-long American science fiction program in which a spaceship crash lands into a world of giants. The program focused on the adventures of the crew getting spare parts for the spaceship 'Spindrift'. Made by Irwin Allen of 'Lost in Space' fame, in the Land of The Giants the crew regularly got into all sorts of scrapes.

I just remembered this program. I didn't like it much, but it was all there was to watch on a Sunday morning when I was a kid. I don't remember it being an hour long, it was more a series from what I can remember off the top of my head.

I preferred Lost in Space.

I remember that some of the oversized props from the show were on display at Universal Studios Hollywood for many years. I don't know if they're still there.

I remember there was a VW Polo advert a few years ago that spoofed the look of LOTG.

I'm surprised they've not dug it up and rebooted it for a new generation. They've managed to do it for a lot of other things that were about that era.

Re: Land of the Giants

i like LOTG.
It was a little silly now and then with the humans being able to drive toy cars and fly remote control planes but most eps were entertaining
