Sid and Marty Krofft's "Land of the Lost" television series is a classic, circa 1974. This show had everything from time portals to dinosaurs, to a bigfoot-type family, to a Sleestak (lizard alien) named Enik. Oh, this was the best Saturday morning show to eat cereal by! Today I learned a feature film based on the show is finally underway. Oooooh, I can hardly wait! Here's a sample from the TV show's final episode--pretty hefty stuff for the pre-pubescent, cold cereal crowd:
Enik: I cannot leave here. Nothing can leave here, unless an object of equal mass and temporal energy enters.
Will Marshall: Well, that means we can't leave either, unless three other people come in.
Enik: Yes, but there is more. You should not be here at all. Your presence here is the source of my problem. Look... [Enik opens the time doorway onto a view of the Grand Canyon] ...
Enik: I do not know [Will now realizes what Enik means by his earlier comments]
Will Marshall: We... we were all killed. Weren't we.
And there they remained, in the Land of the Lost, trapped in an everlasting dimensional loop...

Wasn't there a cave woman, or was she a lost child, in this also?
There was a cave family that looked like Yeti. It was a child named Chaka.
Was there another show, maybe after Land of the Lost was gone, that was similar? It was a Saturday morning live action program that had a lost family, they meet a cave girl, Sheena of the jungle type character, dinosaurs...?
I guess it was the character Christa, Shannon Day, from the 1991 remake of Land of the Lost.
