Do you remember the ORIGINAL Land of the Lost & Bugaloos?

[MsPeggySue911]

There use to be an after school special that came on every day and it rotated between different shows. One day it might be Bugaloos, one day Sigmund the Sea Monster and one day Land of the Lost. There were a few more shows that came on with those shows during that after school special every day but I can only remember those 3. Do any of you (we are showing our age here) remember what some of the other shows were?

Were the Banana Splits part of that one? The Monkeys?

I loved the Land of the Lost. Sleestaks are cool.

I don;t remember them after school but I watched them on Saturday mornings.

 

[MsPeggySue911]

I was thinking it was after school every day a different show. I remember the Banana Splits but I am not sure it was one of the shows I was remembering. I think Lost in Space might have been one. And I LOVED the Monkees. I wanted to marry Davey Jones.

There was also The Lost Saucer and Far Out Spacenuts. These were all by Sid & Marty Krofft.

HR Pufnstuff (sp) I had a crush on Jack Wild. (*hides head*)

 

[Buckalew11]

oh and Lidsville.

 

[FredinFL]

Oh heck, I'd burned Lidsville right out of my brain.

 

[Michelle67]

Am I senile after all???

They weren't after school specials-- at original air time they were Saturday morning shows.

After school specials were always the Hallmark movie variety that were show about every six weeks or so. That was more of the "teens smoking pot, pregnancy, parents divorcing" kind of thing. There were shows that were on after school-- Banana Splits, Monkees, etc., but that varied on market.


Sid and Marty Krofft did a tons of kids shows in the late 60's early 70s.

They did HR Pufnstuff, Lidsville, Sigmund the Sea Monster, Bugaloos, Land of the Lost

The Banana Splits were designed by Sid and Marty Krofft but to me wasn't not a full Sid and Marty fabulous like HR Pufnstuff and others. Pufnstuff was on before I was born, but I do remember first runs of Land of the Lost and Sigmund.

Believe it or not there was a Sid and Marty Krofft amusement park for a little while back in the 70's. I seem to remember cartoons as well.


The Kroffts also did TONS of vareity shows during the 70's and 80's... Donny and Marie, Barbara Mandrell, and I think the Brady Bunch variety show.

In the 70's the Kroffts had tons of projects on TV. They are very talented pupetters.. and were known for a risque puppet show in the late 60s.

Yes I remember and yes, Saturday morning was my favorite day.

What was it ... 'One banana, two banana three banana ..." Something along those lines.

Was Land of the Lost the one where the world was bigger than the people? Kinda of like a pre "Honey I Shrunk the Kids?

I used to love Sat mornings!

We actually found the Land of theLost on TV a while back. We showed our girls and they thought it was the funniest thing ever!!

 

[joviroxx]

Saturday mornings rocked! Dont forget Shazaam and Oh Might Isis!

 

[mom2rb]

I loved those shows!

 

[stevenpensacola]

We can't forget Electra Woman and DynaGirl

 

[DisneyFan32WI]

I remember Satruday morning ABC specials. One was a scary show that was called Redrum I believe. Another one, or maybe the same one, had two kids finding a skeleton in an old basement. Does anyone remember that?

I used to love Land of the Lost. They never did finish the show with the family returning back home, did they???

 

[MichelleVW]

HR Pufnstuff (sp) I had a crush on Jack Wild. (*hides head*)

Me too....

 

[tazdev3225]

I remember those shows and loved them back then. My brothers hated them. Who remembers the Brady Bunch and Jackson 5 cartoons?

 

[Nature Mom]

We can't forget Electra Woman and DynaGirl

Yay...glad someone else remembered them! And then later on, Electra Woman became Marlena Evans Brady Black. Hmmm...I think I just got an idea for DD11 and my costume for MNSSHP...

Sid & Marty Krofft hour was my favorite t.v. time. Good memories.
