It is likely that sci-fi aficionados will know this one because it was produced by sci-fi creator Irwin Allen, who had previously made four other programs that centered around science fiction notions prior to Land of the Giants. Land of the Giants even developed its own media property in the form of novels, which is still in production. Three of the books based on the series were written by Murray Leinster, a well-known science-fiction author, and the other two were written by other authors. Among those who appeared in Land of the Giants was Kurt Kasznar as a special guest and Gary Conway as the main character. Several characters were trapped on a planet where everything is twelve times the size of Earth after being caught in the magnetic field of an interplanetary space storm.
