LAND OF THE LOST episode studies

I have made no secret of my raging fandom for the old TV series The Land of the Lost.

Andy Kaufman in unaired sci-fi comedy pilot, STICK AROUND

Comedy great Andy Kaufman plays a bumbling android in this rather hopeless 1970s sci-fi sitcom pilot. His "Foreign Man" accent would be put to much better use later, when he was cast as Latka Gravas on Taxi.
