sf/f TV development news - 2015

That's one I've never watched before. I've seen a few episodes of Land of The Lost and HR Pufnstuff on MeTV, but that's it for my experience with Sid and Marty Kroft.

Lidsville is quite trippy (And I do literally mean trippy), if you enjoyed Puf'N'Stuff at all and can find access to Lidsville, check it out. Puf'N'Stuff is kinda trippy too, though not as trippy as Lidsville.

Land of the Lost, I recorded off SyFy and I enjoy it for the nostalgia (And I'd enjoy a more mature reboot of it, too.) When I was younger, I most enjoyed the Pylon centric episodes.

Sigmund is pretty juvenile, it could be really fun rebooted and aged up a bit to a SarahJane Adventures level at least.
 
Am I the only one who remembers the Kroffts mainly for Electro-Woman and Dyna-Girl and Bigfoot and Wild Boy? Good grief, I still remember the theme music to B&WB somehow. I think I did watch Land of the Lost to an extent, but I don't remember it much. I don't think I ever heard of H.R. Pufnstuf until I was an adult, and the others mentioned here are unfamiliar to me.

I remember Electro Woman and Dyna Girl well, it was a bit of an acid trip itself. I don't remember B&WB at all though (I remember several other Kroft Super Saturday shows like Wonderbug and Dr. Shrinker and that Genie one)

Oh, and I found Lidsville on Youtube...Streaming bites pretty bad for me, but, downloading and playing on VLC isn't bad, even if a bit rough for very Quality particular people

Oh, yeah, I remember Dr. Shrinker now. Apparently part of its theme tune survives in my long-term memory too, although I don't recall the lyrics.

The name Wonderbug sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't recall any specifics. The genie one doesn't ring any bells.
 
I watched Pufnstuf when it was on the air, but I was a bit too old for the others, I think (although I did watch Land of the Lost. I vaguely remember most of them, though. Sigmund is certainly a odd choice for a reboot.
 
I was kind of shocked when I realized that some of the Star Trek TOS writers and other respected sci-fi authors worked on Land of the Lost, including DC Fontana, Theodore Sturgeon, Larry Niven, David Gerrold and Ben Bova.

If you can accept the bad acting and appreciate the simplistic SFX, Land of the Lost was actually a really good show.

Yeah, I enjoyed the ones I watched. I'm just not usually up early enough in the morning to watch it.

Just be sure to skip the final season which takes a drastic turn for the worse.
