More proof that Hollywood is creatively bankrupt comes with the news that Netflix and Legendary Television are developing a new version of Land of The Lost, which the Kroffts introduced on NBC from 1974-7, then revived on ABC from 1991-3. There was a movie version, with Will Ferrell & Danny McBride, a few years ago, that was not very popular because of the crass humor included in the movie.

The original series had some of the cheesiest special effects in television history, but today's technology will allow for CGI dinosaurs, as the movie did. No word on when the series is set to begin production, but it's likely within the next year or so.
But is anyone really, really interested in another trip to this Land? I'd sooner see a movie tie up storylines from two 1975 Krofft entries, Lost Saucer & Far Out Space Nuts, but that's just me.

As long as there’s no objectionable content (which I’m positive is a surefire way to ruin anything family-friendly), I wouldn’t mind it.
Hear, hear!
