After awhile, though, LotL had dinosaurs AND weird-ass sci fi, and VotD just had dinosaurs. Come to think of it, it may have been the annoying kids and dog in VotD that put me off...Thomas Holtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580730835586277579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-65093227530679252192012-07-31T10:00:53.554-04:002012-07-31T10:00:53.554-04:00Now that's some TV strategizing I'd love t...Now that's some TV strategizing I'd love to get some insight into.davorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970830405883835452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-86330587419641114762012-07-31T09:43:54.745-04:002012-07-31T09:43:54.745-04:00Yes, if memory serves, they premiered on the same ...Yes, if memory serves, they premiered on the same Saturday and (damned networks!) opposite each other.

I don't have the temperament, either. I hate accumulating things. I just pick books up for cheap when I come across them or gratefully accept those that people find and are kind enough to give me.<br /><br />It's par for the course for Hanna Barbera toons, but the dinosaur angle is enough for me.davorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970830405883835452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-36100383958046539132012-07-24T23:00:57.532-04:002012-07-24T23:00:57.532-04:00"but that would kill the thrill of the hunt, ..."but that would kill the thrill of the hunt, wouldn't it?"<br /><br />Not in my opinion. The real thrill (for me) is finally seeing the vintage paleoart in person.<br /><br />"The show was a Saturday morning staple in the '70s, and has been featured on the Boomerang network, along with a bunch of other old Hanna-Barbera toons and more recent Cartoon Network shows. Its concept is pretty similar to Land of the Lost,"<br /><br />I thought it came off as a cross btwn "Land of the Lost" & "Scooby-Doo".<br /><br />"In fact, if Wikipedia is to be trusted, the shows actually debuted on the same day and aired for roughly the same amount of time, though only 16 episodes of Valley were produced."<br /><br />If the 2nd vid is any indication, I can understand why. Not even 1.5 minutes passed b-4 I wanted to see the main characters get eaten by something, be it the whiny cave girl who can't make up her mind about anything or the irresponsible elders who knowingly sent their kids off into dangerous territory unsupervised.Hadiazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805346627826158173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-58655641436388794282012-07-24T18:42:39.631-04:002012-07-24T18:42:39.631-04:00I too have a couple copies of the giant golden boo...I too have a couple copies of the giant golden book. I loved it so much I couldn't pass up a sweet deal when I saw it again. It went through so many printings that I'm sure you'll find one sooner or later.tnthielenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987561678868753828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-72299108092113070462012-07-24T14:43:47.609-04:002012-07-24T14:43:47.609-04:00Gosh.

I still have my childhood copy of that book, and I could swear I picked up another copy of it when I found it at a thrift store, just because I couldn't let it stay there. Not sure but I'll have a look.Christina Wilsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472802098557216513noreply@blogger.com
