  Land of the Giants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Land of the Giants is an American television show of the 1960s which tells the tale of the crew and passengers of a sub-orbital transport plane (the Spindrift) which is accidentally transported to a world in which all life forms are huge in comparison to them.
These giants are in form entirely human, but their society is a dictatorship of which not too many details are given, and which employs no symbols.
Episodes often have the plot of giant scientists capturing one of the passengers or crew, with the rest having to rescue them.

By the last quarter of the first season LAND OF THE GIANTS experimented with the addition of a new character that was based on the Lt. Gerard of 'The Fugitive'.
I also thought that LAND OF THE GIANTS was an improvement over LOST IN SPACE as it did not resort to cheesy rubber-suited monsters or the requisite 'stock-footage episodes' which tended to be the trademark of many an Irwin Allen production.
Some of the early storylines were quite ingenious: the vicious little girl tormenting them in her giant play town; any number of the episodes involving Inspector Kobeck (a great character) and the political/crime dramas involving him; the episode where a madman used them as chess pieces.

Of the Irwin Allen shows that I remember when I was younger (in repeats, you understand, I was only born in 1977!), the only one I clearly recall enjoying was Land of the Giants.
As Jon Burlingame's insightful notes comment, Land of the Giants was Allen's most ambitious show yet and even if it still retains the same campiness as the others, always had a more obvious undercurrent of danger due to the ever present threat from the giant humans.
As with Lost in Space, John Williams' original theme to Land of the Giants is perhaps the less well known, even though it's a very catchy horn theme with the off beat backing that Williams favoured for his Allen television themes.
