An Irwin Allen classic, Land of the Giants centers around the Earth ship Spindrift that is sucked into a time/space vortex only to return back to the Earth...a GIANT EARTH! The series which ran from 1968 to 1970, was mainly about how the ships' valiant crew and passengers dealt with a world of giant tormentors...the most perfect and believable story premise for a kid! In the series, the characters had to deal with a hostile, authoritarian world and survive to find their way back home. Similiarly in a world of adults, kids could imagine how THEY would react to the small, powerless, and insignificant. Characters included Capt. Steve Burton (Gary Conway), First Officer Dan Erickson (Don Marshall), and the alluring Flight Attendant Valerie Scott (Deanna Lund).
