Land of the Giants

Does anyone remember this short-lived TV series? It aired on ABC for two seasons, beginning in 1968 and ending in 1970. There were a total of about 51 episodes. Here is the opening titles from the show.

The show was set in the future year of 1983. It tells the story of the crew and passengers of the spaceship called the Spindrift. The Spindrift is supposed to transport passengers between Los Angeles and London (via outerspace). However, something goes wrong and the ship lands on a planet where everything is twelve times larger than it is on earth. The giants want the Earth people captured and the whole series revolves around them escaping from the giants.

The budget for each episode was $250,000 which was an all time high. The cast, however, had to do all of their own stunts!
