Land of the Lost = Star Trek: TOS
Jun. 7th, 2004 04:22 pmWell, not really. Unless you want to do a more-bizarre-than-usual crossover (Fanboy: "No, you see, the Pylons and the Matrix tables are actually part of the Guardian of Forever's control system! The Marshalls kept mucking with them so that's why ST's continuity is so eff'ed up!")
Anyway, what they *do* have in common is that (for the first season at least) they gave actual Science Fiction writers a chance to write scripts for a sci-fi TV program. I knew Larry Niven and David Gerrold had written episodes of LotL, but I hadn't realized that the show also had scripts by the likes of Ben Bova, Norman Spinrad, and Theodore Sturgeon (and Walter Koenig, but he barely counts).
All this coming from the bizarre minds of Sid and Marty Krofft no less.
