* SpecialEffectsFailure: Though quite impressive for a kids show in 1991, the special effects (provided by the Chiodo Bros.- who created [[Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure Large Marge]], [[Film/{{UHF}} Philo as an alien]] and the ''Film/KillerKlownsFromOuterSpace'') have aged terribly, thanks in no small part to ''Film/JurassicPark'' hitting theaters with its then-revolutionary =[CGI]= barely two years later. The dinosaurs have a very flat, pasted-on look about them, and their animations are extremely jerky. Compared to the 70s version though, it's far better -- and many of the dinosaur puppets themselves hold up even today.

* GrowingTheBeard: The second season episodes have a somewhat more thoughtful and mature vibe than the first season. Of particular note is that, while this series abandons [[Series/LandOfTheLost1974 the original's]] idea of a very small WrapAround universe, the second season embraces the practical upshot of this, that the Land is an ''entire world'' that can be traveled around and explored, not just the immediate area around the Porters' home.

* FightSceneFailure: The Porters fight the Sleestaks directly in "The Gladiators" and saying the choreography wasn’t up to snuff is probably the nicest way to describe it. No one was expecting Kevin to start throwing kicks like a Power Ranger, but it was clear why they never tried to do another Sleestak vs. Porter fight scene like that again. It wasn't helped by ABC's own standards and practices, which ensured every time someone would land a solid hit, no matter how unimpressive, the camera would zoom out and make it impossible to see.
