50 years ago today on September 7th, 1974, Land of the Lost made its Saturday morning debut on the NBC television network. It was a science fiction series created by David Gerold and produced by Sid and Marty Krofft and ran for 3 seasons until 1976. The series plot involved with the Marshall Family trapped in a prehistoric world with dinosaurs and a strange race of reptilian beings called the Sleestaks. The original series was used as a summer replacement on the CBS television network from June to December of 1985 amd again from June to September of 1987. The series was remade in 1991 and ran for two seasons until 1993 on the ABC television network and it was also remade as a movie until 2009. Today it marks the 50th anniversary of this great series and it's also on DVD 📀 and blu ray. Happy 50th anniversary to Land of the Lost.

On this date in 1979, "Meatballs" was released.

The movie was filmed at an actual summer camp, Camp White Pine, in Haliburton, Ontario (a few hours north of Toronto). Many of the extras in the film were actual campers and counselors of the camp; most if not all locations were actual camp facilities (basketball courts, mess hall, swim docks, cabins, etc.). The "Visitors Day" scene/montage was actually filmed during the camp's Visitors Day; White Pine also had a similar yearly event to the "Olympiad,"although rather than being a inter-camp competition, it was an intra-camp relay-type competition that was just part of an overall all-day themed event. These competitions were nicknamed "Mohawk Relays," perhaps serving as inspiration for the name of the rival camp in the movie.

Director Harold Ramis said that producer Ivan Reitman did not know for certain whether star Bill Murray would be in the film until he showed up for the third day of filming. The red shorts and colorful Hawaiian shirt that Murray is seen wearing in the movie were his own clothes. John Belushi convinced Murray to accept the part, pointing out that it would be Murray's first film and he would be the star.

According to one of the featurettes on the DVD, several of the shots in the movie were added after initial filming ended. These included the scenes of the characters Rudy and Tripper at the bus station and of them playing blackjack for peanuts. During the time off, Chris Makepeace, who played Rudy, had entered puberty and had the beginnings of a mustache. Murray, who played Tripper, decided that it had to go so he took Makepeace over to a sink, lathered him up with soap and shaved off his mustache. So Makepeace received his first ever shave from Murray.

At the meeting between days one and two of the Olympiad, Tripper refers to "the newest Olympic power, Trinidad and Tobago." While this is apparently sarcasm, at the most recent Olympics prior to filming, 1976 in Montreal, Trinidad and Tobago did win gold in one premier event - Hasely Crawford won the men's 100 meter dash.

Dear Mcfarlane Toys,

Please sort out your shipping, as it is outrageous. The price to ship a single figure is nearly the price of the figure.

Additionally, if you sell out of a product in less than an hour, you need to not only make more of that product, but announce to people that you will make more of that product. What kind of business are you running, where things that people want are the things that you make the least?

Just popping back to the shipping, how on earth can you justify $14 shipping on a $23 item? With all due respect, your shipping is in no way “special“. I have gotten every one of my products from you banged up in someway or other. So that can’t be it. And how are you, at this point, a major toy maker, not able to figure this out, while nearly every other company has?

Love,
What’s left of your fans
