Sleestacks Poll

To be truthful, neither me nor my husband, who also watchd it faithfully as a kid, found them scary. It seems that the Marshalls could always find a way to distract them and outrun them most of the time. The dinos spooked me and the fact that other people could come and go @ will, but the Marshalls couldn't. No, it wasn't me, nor my husband, nor my cousin, Shannon, but it was her younger brother who was absolutely terrified of them. See, back then, kids got up VERy early for these cartoons. Land/Lost came on at around 10 or so. EVERY saturday morning at that time, Curtis would yawn dramatically and say he was sleepy and was going back to bed. Granted, while it was on I was 8 while he was a few years younger, it was funny to see him do that. Also back then, there was no cable and where we lived, we ONLY got 1 channel...channel 3, an NBC affiliate. Also, we got the DVD set and have watched it trough many times. My kids like to eatch them with us. We liked it so much, thatwhen we mislaid the box set, we bought another. We have ince found it and I'm going to give one of them to my cousins to enjoy.

No only yeah, but hell yeah!

Well this thread started almost 10 years ago, but WTHeck, the show is almost 40 years.. so I guess it's never to late.

But HELL YEAH.. they are a bit scary to me now.. haha.. Especially that hissing noise. Just the mention of the word gives me chills.. Just caught season 1 finale when the Marshalls had to choose from going into Sleezstack cave/lost city, or be in the open with Grumpy and Big Alice. I probably would've chosen hiding under the rocks on the outside with the battling Rexs.

(but looking now I see Sleezstack do walk in a funny lumbering kind of way)--kinda like big scaly doofices. Wonder which one was Bill Lambeer, and how much did he get paid?

I was seven when H & R Puff'nstuff debuted and the thing totally creaped me out, I avoided that show and any other Krofft show but I couldn't resist this one. I was twelve when it started. Don't think any of it scared me, but it intrigued me. I loved dinosaur movies at the time and was just getting into sci-fi, so I thought this was a great combination (I couldn't watch Star Trek at the time - bad first impression two years earlier when the syndicated reruns debuted - it was like sitting in science class - too cerebral). But by season three this show's production values started to wear on me - by now most of the dinosaur scenes were stock footage, and the actors were unable to interact with the creatures. On "Cornered" (the debut of "Torchy" - a very juvenile script by the way), it supposedly swipes Will with its tail and I looked at the special effects shot and I was like - it did?
I didnt see any previews for season 3's debut and was outraged at the first episodes opening title sequence to discover Spencer Milligan left the show - but was pleasantly surprised a moment later when I saw that Ron Harper was playing Jack - astronaut Virdon from the previous short-lives Planet of the Apes TV show - one of my favorites as a kid.

I just remember having one of those cheesy plastic Halloween costumes of a sleestack one year. Loved it!!

Embarrassing but true. LOL.

I was 11 years old when this show premiered, and I remember all of us ripping on the sleestacks because they were so lame, slow, and feeble. There was no reason to fear them because they never hurt anyone or killed anyone. They just kind of stumbled around like my drunk uncle...
What I'm trying to say is that they were more laughable than scary.
