I remember watching that Land of the Lost show a lot, though.

You don't remember Dr. Shrinker? Mad scientist invents shrinking ray (duh) plans shrinking the entire populace so he can take over the world. Tests ray on group of people whose plane crashed on his island. Later renamed "The Lost Island." Don't remember the stars though. As for Lost Saucer, Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzi as androids who take a couple of earth kids on a star faring trip through the galaxy. Of course this was your typical Kroft shenanigans. “Dr. Shrinker?”… You don’t remember Dr. Shrinker?

Always cracked me up. But, now that I think about it, Big John must have been getting paid an amazing salary for a teacher if he could afford to buy clothing all the time for his "little" self, since he always tore them up whenever he changed back to Big John. Btw, I think the dune buggy show is "Wonderbug" -one of the many Kroft shows of the time including such memorable gems as: Electra Woman & Dyna Girl, Dr. Shrinker, Lost Saucer, Far Out Space Nuts, Lidsville and the classic Land of the Lost. There are more of course, but those I would prefer not remembering. Oh, wow, it’s been a dog’s age. Always cracked me up.
