The episode of Land of the Lost broadcast on this date was "Circle". Another great from the first season. The Marshall's finally get to return home, but the rub is another family of Marshall's must enter The Land of the Lost. If I recall co…
I've really enjoyed reading your 1974 journal all year. Sorry to hear there gonna be no 1975 journal.Thanks for all the cool memories of growing up the 70's. I remember all the good and not so good times as well! This and the 1976 blog have…
