- Quotes
[The alien Enik has made a startling discovery about the temporal doorway that has led him and the Marshalls to this world]
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]
Will Marshall: It's Earth! Enik, if I had a parachute I could jump through!
Enik: Wait, there is more.
[Next Will sees himself, Rick, and Holly]
Will Marshall: That's us, on the river!
Enik: Pay attention now, this is the troubling part.
Will Marshall: That's the rapids we were on.
[The time doorway replays - via stock footage of the show's title sequence - Rick, Will, and Holly being swallowed into a cavern by a monstrous earthquake, descending down underground rapids, and plunging down a monstrous waterfall - but Will notices an anomoly the audience cannot see]
Will Marshall: Enik... where's the mist for the doorway?
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.
Enik: Obviously. You should not be here now.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The NBC Saturday Morning Preview Revue (1974)
It still has some corn to it, the acting was over the top from all three players, but I just took it that they took after their father. This was about the only show that it never bothered me that there were unanswered questions about things that happened, like the pylons, the skylons and sleestax (the way it was written on the wall). I used to think they had enough to contend with with Grumpy and Big Al and Big Alice without getting sleestax on top of it. Definitely one of the better of the Sid & Marty Krofft shows, if not the best, better than Pufnstuf. The show may have held on if Spencer Mulligan, as Dad, had not left. It wasn't the same show.
