This was one of my favorite Allen shows. Looking at the lead actor in the red uniform, I can't help think that he would make a better Captain Kirk than Shatner. I always liked this series because the acting was better, so was the music. Marshall also was Dr. McCoy's assistant in Star Trek and that's what got me watching this show. While Iriwin depended on spectacle and no character depth, I still liked this show. It should of had a reunion, but Irwin, being Irwin, would not let anyone produce a tv move as to what became of them.

Land of the Giants was very innovative for its time. It was popular with kids. Anytime you get your television show made into Colorforms-kids are watching it! Remember Colorforms, kids of the'50s/ '60s? I had a 'Land of the Giants' version. A viewer mentioned having a crush on Don Marshal. So did I! Other than Greg Morris on "Mission Impossible", there weren't many black actors around to have a crush on. Glad to see the brother got work, too.Weren't many black actors on TV in those days. Here's a bit
of info. you may not have known:
Actor Stefan Arngrim is the real-life brother of the girl who played "Nellie", the blond,curly-haired brat on "Little House on the Prairie."

This was one of two science fiction shows that I remember not missing watching back in "68 (the other was Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea). I remember having a huge crush on Don Marshall! I wonder what happened to Gary Conway...wasn't he in a rehab in the 90s, or am I mixing him up with someone else? It is amusing to see the way the acting reflects the way gender and racial roles were caricatured during the 60's.

This is my most favorite of Irwin Allens TV classics. Suberb special effects for the time. Top notch acting, and ( for the most part ) good storys. Two other reasons; Deanna Lund and Heather Young. As with Ginger and Mary Ann, it was sometimes easy to over look Betty with luscious Valerie around. But she wasn't far behind.
