Over at SFGate.com, “The Krofft Supershow” is remembered the article “Gone But Not Forgotten: The Krofft Supershow”:
This video comes from a different time, when they still let packs of supervised kids march unsupervised next to the freeway (and down train tracks) in the name of marketing. It was promoting the beginning of the Krofft Supershow — and while it’s quite possible I was the only one watching, I’m going to write about it any way.
The Krofft Supershow started in 1976, a full year before “Star Wars” came out, and special effects were still in the let’s-stick-a-piece-of-cardboard-on-the-back-of-a-lizard-and-call-it-a-dinosaur era. I’ll be honest, I don’t remember Kaptain Kool and the Kongs — or maybe I’m just supressing the memory. They were later replaced with the Bay City Rollers, but I don’t remember them on this show either.
It’s great to see our beloved shows discussed throughout the mainstream web. Besides “Lidsville”, the Supershow was my favorite Krofft Show. My dad’s favorite was “Bigfoot and Wildboy”, and I loved “Doctor Shrinker”.
What was your favorite part of the Supershow?
This one needs to be released on DVD!
In my mind, it is the holy grail of Krofft shows.
How Sid & Marty can release the Brady Bunch Variety Hour and not Season 1 of the awesome Krofft Supershow is beyond me!
I WILL SECOND THAT. Also, just when are they going to bring ElectraWoman and DynaGirl to DVD? I could care less how *cheesy* it was, just as long it *slammed* Shazam and Isis and their unnecessary moral messages. (Plus, it had a real nasty-@## villain to boot!!!)
Oh well, c’est la vie—for the time being, I’ll just keep tuning to YouTube for more KS clips. ;)
Anyone remember Mr. Munchy? There is nothing online about him. Does anyone remember him eating a pretty blond girl on the Bay City Rollers Show (not Barbara Mandrell)? Anyone have any clips, videos? It’s impossible to get.
