History Series / LandOfTheLost1991

* TooDumbTooLive: Kevin makes quite a few noticeable blunders late in the series. In one episode, he throws a rock at a ''Triceratops'' that was in his way and the predictable happens, necessitating Tom and Christa to have to come to his aid.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: Scarface the ''T. rex'' is the most dangerous dinosaur and the one the Porters fear most.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Dinos-a-plenty in this show, several of them are recurring ("Princess" is used as Christa's mount, and "Scarface" routinely terrorizes the valley).

%%* {{Meganekko}}: Annie.

* OutnumberedSibling: The Sorceress had several brothers. When Annie asked her how she survived, she said she turned them into toads. Annie entertained the thought of doing it to Kevin.

* SufficientlyAdvancedBambooTechnology: much of the aforementioned ancient Sleestak devices resemble artifacts of rocks and glowing crystals. Not quite CrystalSpiresandTogas though, the Sleestaks have a much more archaic vibe going on, although they never actually show their entire (underground) civilization, just the three criminals they exiled to the surface.

Inside this parallel universe, the Porters come across an ill-tempered TyrannosaurusRex known as "Scarface," a race of barbarian-like lizard people known as Sleestaks, and countless other dangers. However, amongst these dangers are a few helpful allies to the Porters. These allies include Christa, a beautiful cave-woman who was trapped in the Land of the Lost when she was a little girl, Tasha, a baby ''Parasaurolophus'' whose mother was killed by Scarface, and Stink, a member of a race of monkey-like people known as the Pakuni.

* DinosaursAreDragons: When a medieval KnightInShiningArmor ends up in the Land of the Lost, he thinks the dinosaurs are dragons. Especially Scarface, whom he decides is "the King of Dragons".

* LostWorld: There are many dinosaurs that are extinct on present day Earth and other extinct lifeforms including pterosaurs, a mosasaur that attacks Kevin when goes surfing, and some wolf-like creatures that Kevin calls "prehistoric pit bulls". Add to that three moons (that drive the Dinos suicidally crazy when they align), and a number of species that don't exist on Earth, like the Sleestaks and Pakuni, at least one sea serpent, and whatever that thing in the oil pool that grabbed Tom Porter was, and its other strange properties (crystals, swirling blue and green spacetime portals, etc) mark it as different from Earth.
