Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. First of all, how did the Porter family arrive in the land of the dinosaurs?

Answer: They drove through an underground time warp.

In the opening sequence of every episode, we saw how the Porters arrived in the "Land of the Lost". Tom, Kevin, and Annie Porter were going on vacation. However, the road ahead was broken by a huge gap left by an earthquake. Tom could not slow the truck down in time, and the vehicle plundged into a deep underground cavern. Somehow the earthquake had opened a time warp between the modern and prehistoric worlds.

When they reached the end of the cave, the Porters found themselves in a land of vast jungles, dinosaurs, and other mysterious creatures.

Although their vehicle was actually an SUV, they refered to it as a truck.
2. Which two characters did the Porters meet in the second episode, "Something's Watching"?

Answer: Christa and Stink

In this episode, Tom and his son and daughter explored the jungle to see if it had any other inhabitants. They discovered Christa, a woman who lived in the jungle, and her ape companion, Stink. But during their stay in the new part of the jungle, Tom was bitten by a lizard and developed a nasty wound. Kevin and Christa must go high into the mountains to find the medicine plant before it's too late.
3. How did Annie "kill" the cyborg?

Answer: She flashed Simon's camera at the cyborg.

Annie met Simon Cardinas, a boy from the 21st century in "Future Boy". Simon was not the only one to be sent back in time. A huge half-alien, half-machine creature known as a cyborg followed Simon into the jungle. It wanted the electronic devices Simon carried on his belt.

The creature chased the Porters and attacked other dinosaurs around the island. Finally, when the cyborg tried to snatch Tasha, Annie took advantage of the cyborg's weakness: it was light sensitive. Annie seized Simon's camera and flashed the light at the cyborg.

She kept doing this until the evil creature walked backwards off a cliff. But the cyborg wan't really dead. It returned in the episode "Annie in Charge".
4. An attack from what type of creature led to Kevin's temporary blindness in "In Dinos We Trust"?

Answer: Snake

Kevin decided to take Tasha with him to explore a canyon known as the Valley of Death, a barren wasteland littered with dinosaur bones. When he tried to examine a t-rex skull, a black and silver snake crawled out and spat venom in his face. Kevin was left unable to see, with Tasha as his only guide to take him back home. Luckily, Christa treated his eyes with some type of berries, and his sight returned.
5. Was Tasha ever kidnapped by the Sleestaks?

Answer: Yes

In one of the more suspenseful episodes, "Shung the Terrible", the Porters went searching for a way back to the modern world. They stopped on a roadside for a picnic lunch, leaving Tasha in the back of the truck. However, Shung's not-so-bright henchmen, Nim and Keeg, found the truck. Recklessly, they tried to drive it back to their cave. Shung put Tasha in a cage and was determined to eat her for dinner! When Kevin, Annie, and Tom discovered the truck and Tasha missing, they went off to find their possessions.

Unfortunately, in an attempt to save Tasha, Kevin and Tom were kidnapped as well. It's up to Annie, Christa, and Stink to save them.
6. In which episode did the family come close to returning home?

Answer: Flight to Freedom

In "Flight to Freedom", an earthquake reopened the entry gate where the family came into the dinosaur world. However, they warned Tasha and Stink they could not come along to the modern world. But the little dinosaur and monkey followed the family all the way to the portal, where they were attacked by Scarface, the terrible t-rex. With the truck just feet from the time warp, Tom got out and decided to fight Scarface, even though it cost him the trip back to the modern world.

After Scarface was chased away, the Porters got into the truck, with Tasha and Stink, and attempted to drive through the warp. Unluckily for them, it disappeared seconds before they could drive through.

In a way, it was good that they did not go back to the modern world, because their return home would have ended the series short.
7. Who was Christa's childhood friend?

Answer: Namaki

We first met Namaki in "Life's a Beach". The Porter family and Christa traveled to the shores for a vacation. However, the ocean brought back sad memories for Christa, as she remembered falling off her family's boat during a storm as a child, landing on the island. Throughout the episode, she had flashbacks to her childhood, remembering when she used to go to the beach with Namaki. Christa wandered off, and the family went to find her.

But when Tasha went off on her own to eat bananas, she ran and screamed, claiming to have seen a monster. Later, Annie ecountered Namaki.

He carried her back to his beach hut, and showed her things that used to belong to Christa. Namaki became friends with the Porters, and their adventures at the beach are continued in "The Siren's Song".

As you probably know, the man who played Namaki, Tom Allard, also played Shung.
8. Why did the Porters think they had returned to San Francisco in "Dream Maker"?

Answer: A mysterious machine was making their visions seem real.

In one of the most bizarre episodes, the family thought they had finally made it back home. But what really happened was anything but a pleasant dream. Late one night, Tom woke up and thought he had heard the sounds of airplanes, traffic, and sirens. No one else believed him.

But the next day, Kevin found a San Francisco parking ticket on the windshield of the truck! The Porters tried to piece together the mystery, and finally decided that a new time warp might have opened. The next day, they traveled deep into the jungle and found their city home. Kevin and Annie were excited to finally be back home, but Tom knew something wasn't right.

There were no other people around, and the neighborhood was so quiet. The next day they returned to the house, and everything started to fall apart. First, Annie and Kevin recevied a haunting phone call from their mother, who had been dead for a long time.

Then Tasha, who was in the kitchen with her head buried in the refrigerator, became terrified when the food started to fly out and hit her. Tom barely escaped the falling shelves in the garage, but he got trapped under the garage door. Somehow, back in the jungle, Stink saw everything happening on Kevin's TV he used for his video camera, and rushed to help the Porters. Meanwhile, Kevin, Annie, and Tasha were locked in the house, and the living room furniture came to life! The thermostat turned the heat up full blast. Finally, Stink arrived and helped Tom escape from the garage and unlocked the front door.

The family started to walk back to the jungle, when suddenly, Scarface appeared. As the Porters ran from the killer t-rex, the houses started to disappear. To escape Scarface, they ran into a cave. There inside they discovered a machine powered by crystals, which made anything they thought about appear real. Tom removed some of the crystals, and the machine shut off.
9. How many moons appeared in the night sky of the prehistoric world?

Answer: three

One line of the theme song even said, "See the triple moons." An eclipse of the moons caused trouble for the dinosaurs and other animals. In the episode "Jungle Girl", the three moons aligned, and all the creatures flocked to the Valley of Death. The Porters managed to stop the dinosaurs, along with Tasha, from jumping to their deaths at the bottom of the canyon.
10. Last of all, in the hilarious final episode, "Misery Loves Company", did Stink actually injure his foot when he fell off the roof?

Answer: No

"Misery Loves Company" was the last episode of "The Land of the Lost". It is also my favorite episode. In this episode, Kevin was busily trying to repair a hole in the treehouse roof before a huge rainstorm struck. After Annie wouldn't help him, and she left the house, Kevin was stuck at home watching Tasha and Stink. Tasha had already made a huge mess with Annie's paint set.

She decided to finish Annie's painting with huge streaks of red, and then Tasha squirted out all the paint tubes onto the floor. Stink, who had stayed up all the previous night, had come to the Porters' house just to go to bed. Kevin decided to get help from the monkey.

It took a bribe of candy to get Stink to even go up on the roof. But on the roof, Stink immediatly fell asleep again! When Kevin tried to awaken Stink, the monkey fell all the way to the ground. Kevin hurried down, and at first, Stink said he wasn't hurt.

But then Kevin asked for help on the roof again. Stink started crying in pain, claiming he had hurt his foot when he fell, just as a way to get out of fixing the roof. Kevin fell for it and carried Stink back to the house and put him to bed. Kevin handed Stink a bicycle horn, and told him to honk it if he needed anything.

When Kevin went back to work of the roof, Tasha and Stink argued loudly. Tasha wanted to listen to music, and Stink wanted to sleep. They squabbled until Kevin made them both be quiet. Then Stink said he wanted to eat an island fruit called jujiwanga. When Kevin said he didn't have time to go out and pick some jujiwanga, Stink faked an attack of pain until Kevin relented. But things went from bad to worse for Kevin. While he stood on the back of a stegasaurus to get to the fruit, Scarface came along and scared away the dinosaur. Kevin was left hanging in the braches of a tall tree while the t-rex tore "Spike" apart. Back at the house, Tasha and Stink had made a huge mess and were arguing even worse. Kevin grew very angry with the two, and he told them both to go to sleep. But while Kevin was away, Stink had gotten out of bed and chased Tasha, proving that he was faking his injury. Tasha finally got the message through to Kevin, and he and Tasha got back at Stink by pretending to have fallen from the porch to the ground. Stink panicked, and he ran all the way to the bottom. After he tore off the bandage and shouted "Foot's all better!", Kevin and Tasha gave away their joke to get back at him. Later that afternoon, Kevin and Tasha made Stink do favors for them just the way Stink had done to them. Rain was pounding outside. But Kevin forgot one thing: he hadn't had time to fully repair the roof. Just seconds after Tom and Annie returned home, a huge downpour drenched Kevin! Everyone laughed, and Kevin had learned what his own father went through all the time by taking care of Tasha and Stink.
