random musings on LOTL
Love the show, brings back many happy childhood memories. Just picked up the full series dvd set - was a bit disappointed at lack of extras (I don't give a 'fatrat' for the damned will ferrell tripe of a remake!). Silliness, but I love it. Dopey rocks and yes, the sleestaks scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Looking back i'm not sure why I was so scared,especially since I loved all things reptilian as a kid;I think it was their eyes, creepy! I really, really hope this gets a second chance as a film. It may have been campy way back when but I think it's a great concept & still deserves a serious film treatment.I'm wondering if the producers & writers simply got lazy in the 3rd season because all of a sudden Chaka can speak English. Just seems kind of incongrous since he's been speaking only Pakuni the whole series. Oh yeah, one other random thing - what the heck was up with Marshall's hair in this? He looks like a cross between Mike Brady & Englebert Humperdink (that name still makes me chuckle....geesh) - godawful hair - needed a trim. I don't remember seeing people with such horrific hair when I was a kid - but apparently curly & badly styled hair wasn't all that uncommon!
