Irwin Allen produced four science fiction / fantasy adventure series this was his fourth and last effort. Quite a bit of money went to producing the huge sets and special effects that dominated this series much of which is quite outstanding for the time and era.

Irwin Allen's shows are often criticized for not being very accurate and not paying attention to fact but really those who say that miss the whole point of his programs these shows weren't meant to be taken too seriously. What we have here folks is juvenile adventure the kind in which almost anything can happen similar to the imaginary worlds a child's imagination might produce. I feel this is true of almost all of Allen's TV efforts. Not paying too much attention to detail and letting yourself be lost in the fun and adventure is key to enjoying shows such as "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", "Lost in Space", and particularly "Land of the Giants" which is probably the most juvenile minded of them all.
