Didja Notice?

Right at the very opening of the episode (after the theme song, 1:11 on the DVD), at least 3 ankylosaurs are visible in the swamp.

Also visible in the bottom left corner of the screen is what appears to be a Postosuchus crawling from the water.

Postosuchus

When Will and Holly are talking while pulling the shopping cart, Will mentions that their father thinks the Land is a place where things from all of time and space have landed. Holly asks if they will find their lost toys here, she lost a doll once. The radio show and subsequent illustrated children's book of the 1940's, Land of the Lost, is about a boy and girl who travel to a land (under the sea) where all lost things eventually arrive. The girl in the story finds her lost doll there. (See the Wikipedia entry.) There was also a comic book series.
