Can't remember the name of a TV series:
« on: February 12, 2009, 02:26:44 PM »
Anyway, on the U.S -- I recall seeing it mid-80s or so.  I figure a lot of you are in this age group, so here's a shot:

A live-action TV series, meant for children.  It was on during the morning cartoon times, probably around 1985-86 or so. 

Things I recall were about this family that somehow got stuck in this stone-age/fantasy era, and how they eek out a living.  I remember bunch of cave settings and them running from dinosaur-type looking monsters.

Any ideas?

Land of the Lost. Awesome show, but I was banned from watching it after my brother got scared by it once.  :evil:

I hate Will Ferrell more then anything, but, I might see the movie.  One thing that caught my attention is that the Sleestak look like the original Sleestak(from the 70's), not the ones from the late 80's show!
