Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea series encouraged Irwin Allen to produce other science fiction television shows. The most notable of these shows were "Lost in Space", "The Time Tunnel", and "Land of the Giants". The success of the feature film led to the 1964–1968 television series on ABC, "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea". During the series run, the film's storyline was remade as a one-hour episode. That episode was written by Willam Welch and was titled "The Sky's on Fire". Other scenes in the film were also rewritten and incorporated into the television series.

Land of the Lost (1991 TV series) soon meet another human, a "beautiful" jungle girl named Christa who came from 1960s San Francisco. Christa became trapped in the Land of the Lost when she was very young and grew up alone (an earlier concept would have featured an adult Holly Marshall as the "mystery girl", along with Cha-Ka, but, due to casting, the characters were revisualized as Christa and Stink). The Porters live in a large "treehouse" (although it is actually built between a series of large logs and not rooted trees) that the family built after they realized their tents provided little safety from dangerous predators.
