The Krofft Supershow
"Don't get left behind, take a trip with us today; we will lead you through a land of dreams. Krofft has some super shows, they will blow your mind away! When you join us, you'll know why we say... It's just a crazy world where anything goes down, where most of what appears isn't true. So in this crazy world, we like to be around and laugh at life along with you. The Krofft... Supershow! The Krofft... Supershow!"
Alright, tell me that the theme song isn't about drugs. And tell me the shows weren't aimed at people ON drugs:
You've got Electra-corny superheroines ripped off from Batman....
...a goofy dune buggy with a magic horn that that flies....
....a ridiculously egomaniacal scientist (assisted by a midget sidekick) who shrinks people...
...a Scooby Doo-ish "I Dream of Jeannie" ripoff with a bumbling male genie...
...Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzi as freaky alien (there's a stretch) androids with an even freakier dorse (dog-horse creature)...
...Tarzan and Bigfoot....
....and a Korny, white, faux band with brow-raising initials who wear hideous clothes and continuously indulge in terrible jokes, cringe-inducing puns and bad disco songs.
And why in God's name has all of this wonderful goodness not been widely seen (intact) in 30 years?! Greatest... show.... ever! Oh I know what happened:
The Bay City Rollers took the reigns of the show and effectively killed off Saturday mornings with Sid & Marty Krofft. Damned hippie roller-disco punks. I mean, you'd think that one on the right would at least have had the decency to wear underwear while shooting a Saturday morning kids' show. I can't not look at it. Suppose he figured since he'd be leaning against a phallus-headed dragon anyway...
