I was in love with this show ~3rd grade. I was actually in Door County and briefly considered going.

I loved that show as a kid! The Sleestaks were freaking awesome!

The article about Spencer Milligan is excellent; thank you for linking it. He sounds like a really cool guy with a terrific outlook on life.

I loved _Land of The Lost_ when I was a kid, too.  
Trivia: Former Detroit Pistons player Bill Laimbeer played a Sleestak on the show.

Wow, it’s cool that Milligan is finally taking part in a LOTL reunion! I bought the DVD box set a while ago. Interesting story about it is that the whole DVD project was initiated and essentially made to happen by a longtime fan who ran a LOTL message board! In the DVD material he says that he tried and tried to get Spencer to do an interview for the set (all the other actors did) and although he was very nice about it, he just wasn’t interested.
