Land of the Lost/Season 1

Season One of Land of the Lost aired on Saturday mornings on ABC at 10:00 am. The first season aired from September 7th to December 21st, 1974, spanning a total of seventeen episodes. Land of the Lost starred Wesley Eure (credited as Wesley), Kathy Coleman and Spencer Milligan. Recurring guest stars in this season included Philip Paley and Walker Edmiston.

The premise of the show revolved around the Marshall family, which was comprised of Father Rick Marshall, his teenage son Will Marshall and Will's younger sister Holly. As the opening credits of each episode reveal, the Marshalls were engaged in a "routine expedition" while rafting down a river, when the area is struck by a massive earthquake, sending them toppling down a waterfall. When they awaken, they find themselves on another world; a world populated by dinosaurs, primitive cave people known as Pakuni and the reptilian hunters known as the Sleestaks. Each episode introduced new threats as well as new allies, while focusing on the Marshalls' efforts to survive in the Land of the Lost, as well as their ongoing commitment towards finding a way back home.
