| Land of the Lost (1991) | comment |
Land of the Lost is a 1991-1992 ABC Saturday morning children's program, and a remake of the 1974 series of the same name.Compared to the original it has a different theme song, a different family, a different design for the Sleestak, and better special effects that struck a different chord with a lot of people. It also features as a regular character a blonde-haired "wild girl" who grew up in the Land, and who, while never actually identified as such, could arguably be interpreted as the grown-up version of Holly from the series' first incarnation (indeed, that was the intention but casting choices led to this idea being dropped).The Porter family — father Tom, son Kevin, and daughter Annie — are trapped in a parallel universe after their Jeep Cherokee fell through a time portal while exploring the back country.Inside this parallel universe, the Porters come across an ill-tempered Tyrannosaurus rex known as "Scarface," a race of barbarian-like lizard people known as Sleestaks, and countless other dangers. However, amongst these dangers are a few helpful allies to the Porters. These allies include Christa, a beautiful cave-woman who was trapped in the Land of the Lost when she was a little girl, Tasha, a baby Parasaurolophus whose mother was killed by Scarface, and Stink, a member of a race of monkey-like people known as the Pakuni. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Land of the Lost (1991) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Granted it's aimed at young viewers so this would be in play but it's pretty egregious when, in one episode, Scarface takes a broadsword to the flank and pulls it out with absolutely no blood whatsoever, not even on the tip of the sword and his stabbed flank looks as if it never even happened at all. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy | |
| Land of the Lost (1991) / int_173909 | comment |
Brainwashed and Crazy: Shung's crystal sword is used to control others to do his bidding, as shown when he forces Princessnote Christa's Triceratops and Spike the Stegosaurus to fight one another and later in the same episode note "The Gladiators" does the same to Tom and Kevin. It also has this effect on anyone besides Shung who wields it. | |

Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid: Green Kool-Aid, in the case of the volcano in an episode of the first season, which is controlled (somehow) by an ancient Sleestak crystal something. The green lava pours down the conical volcano throughout the episode, threatening anything in its path (including the family's dwelling). | |

Dinosaurs Are Dragons: When a medieval Knight in Shining Armor named Balin ends up in the Land of the Lost, he thinks the dinosaurs are dragons. Especially Scarface, whom he decides is "the King of Dragons". Kevin ends up having to save him from getting eaten during an ill-considered attack on the T. rex. | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Scarface, the T. Rex, is to this series what "Roberta" would be to Jurassic Park in a couple of years; a dominant predator whose appearance spells doom for anyone unable to get away or fight back. Shung, the leader and most intimidating of the three Sleestak exiles. | |

Gladiator Games | |
| Land of the Lost (1991) / int_693cabaf | comment |
Gladiator Games: Shung fondly recalls seeing these in the (unseen) Sleestak cities, and in one episode tries to re-create them using his henchmen and the Porters as his gladiators. He admits the ramshackle setup of his arena is a far cry from the arenas of his home, but it would have to do. | |

Another Dimension: crossed with Lost World. Somewhat ambiguous, as it resembles prehistory with dinosaurs but there are other, totally otherworldly creatures, including humanoid lizards, and three moons. The dinosaurs also coexist in time with bipedal proto-humans. | |

| Land of the Lost (1991) / int_8b525912 | comment |
Sufficiently Advanced Bamboo Technology: much of the aforementioned ancient Sleestak devices resemble artifacts of rocks and glowing crystals. Not quite Crystal Spires and Togas though, the Sleestaks have a much more archaic vibe going on, although they never actually show their entire (underground) civilization, just the three criminals they exiled to the surface. | |

Lost World: There are many dinosaurs that are extinct on present day Earth and other extinct lifeforms including pterosaurs, a mosasaur that attacks Kevin when he goes surfing, and some wolf-like creatures that the Porters call "prehistoric pit bulls". Add to that three moons (that drive the Dinos suicidally crazy when they align), and a number of species that don't exist on Earth, like the Sleestaks and Pakuni, at least one sea serpent, and whatever that thing in the oil pool that grabbed Tom Porter was, and its other strange properties (crystals, swirling blue and green spacetime portals, etc) mark it as different from Earth. | |
