1991 TV series "Land of the Lost" coming to DVD?

I grew up with this version of the series when it aired on ABC Saturday Morning and later on Nickelodeon.
Hopefully this gets released.
While we cringe at the thought of a Will Ferrell remake, Rhino brings us a Complete Set of the '74 Original</title>
...Also, fans of the 1991 version of the show will be pleased to know that Rhino is considering it for a DVD release as well

But I actually enjoyed the show years back. Never saw (or knew at the time) the original

At least the old show (which i haven't seen since the mid-80's) had them falling into the dino land on a river or something (complete with really terrible FX...even by 80's standards).

So HA!

Part of the whole point of the ORIGINAL series was that it worked as a survival tale - there were actual lessons to be learned. Marshall, Will and Holly had to create the things they needed from their environment. I'm willing to bet I learned what a fulcrum was from the original series, in the episode where they had to get Dopey out of the tarpit.
I remember tuning in to watch the first episode of the remake. There was a jeep. As I recall, there was a boom box. And there were teenage mutant ninja sleestaks. It wasn't for me.
