Rifftrax is doing a live-in-theaters riffing of Manos on August 16th. I'm tempted to go, just to see if there is anything new to be gotten out of that particular movie.

Yeah, Benji was the go-to dog back in the 70s. I saw at least one of the Benji movies in the theater, I think, but I was never that enthralled by Benji or other live-action animal movies/shows. I guess I watched Lassie reruns and such, but not very enthusiastically.

Yup, I watched all that stuff. At least Land of the Lost tried for some interesting sci-fi storytelling. I bought the first season on DVD and was not entirely disappointed. The rest of the Krofft stuff, though, is really only watchable as camp.

They really rocked it on the Paul Lynde Halloween Special!

I caught onto the fact that the Scooby gang should look for the clue in the light-colored drawer pretty early on. Thanks, cheap xerography-based Hanna-Barbera animation!

I think they made some more Jetsons episodes in the 80s, to pad it out for syndication or whatever. Not that the originals were landmark TV, but I think the "revival" episodes are pretty much not good.
