Things that would make for a GOOD remake:

1. Keep it SERIOUS not the Will Farrell comedy bullcrap. Think Batman Begins compared to the comedy versions of Batman.

2. Have the Land of the Lost be another universe or another dimension but keep actual time travel out of the story, do not have it be the "earth of the past" as time travel stories are filled with the logistical problems of paradoxes the "grandfather paradox" being the most famous.

3. Make it grittier. NO more perfectly done hair and perfectly clean clothes. They should have to become survivors making new clothing out of animal skins and stuff and have to "go native" a tad like the original planet of the apes.

4. Use serious special fx to make really fearsome sleestack and pakuni, The new Planet of the Apes and Avatar have set the bar for that kind of special effect.

there was a remake tv series in the 90s and it took itself serious enough and was a good show.

I see a tie in to the Monsterverse. The Land of the Lost could be e.g. this Otherworld (not the hollow earth!) from the Monarch show.
