Another Land of the Lost marathon on Sci Fi

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

To coincide with the release of the Land of the Lost movie, the Sci Fi Channel is running another marathon of the original Land of the Lost series.  The marathon will run over the course of two days, June 4th and 5th, from 8 am to 6 pm EST.  Unlike the previous marathon, they will be omitting the first three episodes, but will be showing the last three episodes, which were not aired during the Memorial Day marathon.

Sci Fi’s website also has a new video interview with Sid & Marty Krofft here.

Full episodes of Lancelot Link on Youtube

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Two full episodes of Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp are now available officially through You Tube.

The two episodes, Dreaded Hong Kong/Great Bank Robbery & Reluctant Robot/Royal Foil, were put up by Image Entertainment, who also released the Lancelot Link DVD set a few years back.

They’ve also uploaded a few segments of another Saturday morning series, the animated Here Comes the Grump, which aired on NBC from 1969 to 1971.

Red Hand Gang DVD release

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

The Red Hand Gang will be released on DVD in the US on July 28, 2009. It is being released by Virgil Films and Entertainment, the same company that will be releasing Monster Squad on June 23rd. No extras have been announced, but the 2008 UK release of the series did have the series’ commercial bumpers as an extra.

You can now pre-order the US set from Amazon.

The same company plans on releasing two other Saturday morning series from the same production company, D’Angelo-Bullock-Allen: Big John, Little John in the latter part of 2009 and Run, Joe, Run in 2010. Hopefully, the sales of the series will be good enough to get the last two D’Angelo produced series, Westwind and McDuff, the Talking Dog, released.

Land of the Lost Memorial Day marathon!

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

The Sci Fi channel will be running a Memorial Day marathon of the original Land of the Lost. It will run twenty hours, starting at 8 am and ending at 4 am. All of the episodes, with the exception of the last three, will be aired as part of the marathon.

In the early 90s, the Sci Fi channel ran a marathon of the original series that was hosted by Wesley Eure, who played Will, and featured an appearance from Marty Krofft. No word if there will be any hosts or extra features on the upcoming marathon.

Speaking of Wesley Eure, he now has his own official site. On his blog, he mentioned that his cameo in the upcoming film had been cut out. Hopefully, it will make it to the inevitable DVD version.
