The 90s were a treasure of unionized shows outside the conventional based on each intellectual property in the public domain, from Robin Hood to Hercules, and the less popular work of Sherlock Holmes creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Of course, because it is less popular than the most famous detective in the world, it does not mean that it is bad and, in fact, The lost world It is a seminal science fiction work that helped influence Marvel’s wild land and each fiction work that includes a secret world where dinosaurs still roam. It was also a three -seasons syndicated program that never approached the standard established by its source material.
Discovering the lost world
The lost world Freely follow the basic plot of the novel, with a group of adventurers, directed by Professor Challenger, a character described by Doyle himself as “a AOE in a tuxedo”, navigating on the South American jungle in a hot air balloon that finally crashes, leaving them stagnant on top of a plateau full of dinosaurs and lost civilizations. Next to the teacher are the reporter Ned Malone, the adventurer Lord John Rxton, Professor Summerlee and Marguerite Knux, the financial financial officer and a talented linguist. They are soon joined by Veronica Layton, the survivor of an previous expedition that has now become an expert in surviving in the hard day, and also the focus of each marketing piece for the series.
Together, the explorers challenge the unknown of the plateau, which includes giant bees, giant dinosaurs, vampires, a pirate treasure, lizard people and a meteorite strike. The lost world It is played quickly and loose with the novel Fuente, but it is at the same time for the course compared to its syndicated contemporaries at that time. Each episode is essentially an independent adventure, but that is part of the charm of the old school series that ends up increasing to the point where competitive realities are colliding together. \
Payment adventure by vision
In 1999, then The lost world First he debuted, it was not in union, on the other hand, it was available in DirectTV as a PPV series. It was a unique configuration in its type, with episodes that were broadcast on television broadcast a few weeks after the PPV broadcast, which included some “blink and missing shots” that you would expect to see in a PPV series. However, that was not enough to find an audience, with the program, once taking off the TNT began to issue episodes, working well enough to guarantee three seasons and 66 episodes in total.
The lost world He had adapted before the 1999 series, perhaps more markedly in 1925, when the original film adaptation was able to include Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, presenting the film. Before the union series, a film starred by John Rhys-Davies as Professor Challenger and Eric McCormack as Malone, which became so cheap, was made that a sequel launched the same year. None of the adaptations has had the power of permanence of the 1999 series that remains the definitive version of the pop culture of the seminal novel.
The syndicated adventure programs of the 90s remain a strange time capsule of a television loss, where campy and low -budget food would be broadcast on the most general networks as a cheap way to fill the time. Hercules, Xenaeven Hunter relictested next to The lost world That to succeed, embrace the low budget and lean hard at the camp of the reuse of sets, actors and even special effects, it could result in a surprise success. There is nothing like them transmitting today and even if they were, they would never spend the first season.
The lost world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle It is available for free in Tubi.
