The Krofft Supershow was a live action program for kids. There was no animation but all the Krofft shows played out like cartoons. I remember being the only person awake in my house watching this show early on Saturday mornings as a kid in the 70's. At the time I remember my favorite segment as being Bigfoot and Wildboy. Somehow most of my friends at school missed out on this because few people ever knew what I was talking about when I mentioned this show. There was another segment called Far Out Space Nuts, about a couple of astronauts one of which was Bob Denver who played Gilligan. If I remember correctly, their space ship wasn't working properly and every week they ended up on a new planet where they would be chased by some Muppet looking monster that wasn't really scary but was always funny. There was the popular Electra Woman and Dynagirl that was like a female version of the Adam West Batman series. Another segment featured Wonderbug about a talking car like the animated cartoon Dune Buggy. The Lost Saucer was another space show, this one was similar to the 60's hit show Lost in Space. There were others that I don't remember but I'm sure if I saw this again it would all comeback to me. Sid and Marty Krofft have been releasing their Saturday morning shows on DVD at a steady if not rapid rate. We have seen Land of the Lost be released in season sets, H.R. Puffnstuff in its entirety, Sigmund and the Seamonsters complete first Season, Lidsville with Butch Patrik, now the Bugaloos are coming. Heres to hoping that the Krofft Supershow in all its seasons and versions will be next.
