They're scraping the bottom of the barrel now.

Read Here.

I remember watching this weird series when I was a kid, but to make it a feature film now? Hollywood needs an infusion of originality - stat.
 
Yeah, you'd think there'd have to be a point of diminishing returns somewhere in obscurity.

Does remind me though, is that Land of the Lost movie still going forward? Haven't heard anything in a while.

Land of the Lost is scheduled for release next June.

They have long since scraped through the bottom of the barrel and are digging a pit.
 
I lived on the corner of Kendrick and Sigmund streets as a six year old, so this had special relevance to me back then...
 
When I was a kid I liked Sigmund and the Sea Monsters for a while; they added Rip Torn to the cast as a genie AND THEN added some kid playing the genies nephew.

Mt first exposure to a show jumping the shark...

pardon the pun.

Isn't it almost always a case of desperation when a show adds a kid to the cast? And don't they usually get canceled soon afterwards?

1 - Married With Children (Six)
2 - The Brady Bunch (Cousin Oliver)
3 - The Nanny (their baby)
4 - Murphy Brown (Avery)
etc, etc, etc

It was Seven on Married With Children I think, Six on Blossom, BSG and Trippin the Rift, Seven on Voyager and MWC.:) The only good part was how they got rid of him like he never existed.

Now Rip TORN would have made for a cool-ass show. Sadly, it wasn't him.

I watched maybe 2 episodes...even as a kid it felt aimed at an audience far younger than myself.

I seem to recall a news report of an on-set fire on the program that actually endangered Rip Taylor and one of the performers in a Sid & Marty Krofft sea monster costume.
