Marshall, Will and Holly, on a routine expedition...

Huh...
DINO-MITE!: Will Ferrell has signed on to headline Universal's big-screen comedy adaptation of the classic tube series Land of the Lost. Ferrell will play forest ranger Rick Marshall, who, while rafting with his two kids, gets sucked into a time vortex and transported to a mysterious world populated by dinosaurs and Sleestaks.

I loved Land of the Lost when I was a little girl and it was on every Saturday morning. The fact that it hasn't been completely forgotten is nice, but I'm not sure I want a comedy reserection of the show. And, while I like Will Farrell, I hope he won't do his trademark over-the-top characterization, ala Anchorman or Elf.

Oh man, I just dated myself. The first thing that popped into my head when I read "DINO-MITE" was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle theme song.

Woot! I loved Land of the Lost as a kid, I hope this remake can live up to my memories of the show. I agree about Will Farrell, too - he's great, but I hope he doesn't turn the movie into a comedy.

Yay! You know Land of the Lost, too! That was my favorite Saturday Morning show. I loved Dopy the Dinosaur.

Do you remember Electro Woman and Dino Girl?

Yes, I do - vaguely. I remember the names very well, but can't think of what they looked like or anything.
