How this season is filed
The Marshalls fall into a pocket universe of dinosaurs, Pylons, and Sleestak nightmares that still live in Saturday-morning trauma. Kids' sci-fi with linguists and writers who treated the weird as serious world-building. Foam-and-miniature craft, ambitious for cereal hour, and still stranger than the later joke remake.

Desk essentials in this season
- S01E01 Cha-Ka
Cha-Ka opens Krofft Saturday sci-fi as creature craft. Ambitious for cereal hour: a family dropped into a handmade prehistoric pocket, the title already a character, not a place-mat.
- S01E15 Elsewhen
Elsewhen is first-season time-title weirdness. Kids' adventure playing metaphysics without a lecture: the land still a pocket universe, the craft still looking built in a shop.
