When it comes to cult-classic kids TV shows of the past, there are few names as well-known and well-loved as Sid and Marty Krofft who created shows including HR Pufnstuf, Sigmund and the Sea-Monsters, and, most importantly for this writing, Land of the Lost, which is getting rebooted at Netflix, as reported by Deadline.

The original show, which debuted in 1974, told the story of a family getting stuck in a land out of time populated not just by claymation dinosaurs, but friendly simian beings known as Pakuni and much more vicious lizard people called the Sleestaks.
