There were a lot of serious scifi concepts in the original Land of the Lost. Plus I must say that as a kid it frightened me witless a few times. The pylons fascinated me to now end and perhaps the creepiest scene, certainly the one that sticks in my mind to this day, is the one where the Marshall family found copies of themselves half embedded in the wall of a cave(?).

To say that because parts of LotL were campy and thus not serious scifi you have to denigrate much of TV scifi including The Twilight Zone, Star Trek and Doctor Who. Besides, what's so campy about a race of lizard people? Ken Macleod did this really well in his Engines of Light series. No... I think with a good script Land of the Lost could be a great serious scifi film.
