    Ah yes those were the days - 'Bigfoot & Wildboy', 'Electra Woman & Dyna Girl' and don't forget 'Dr. Shrinker'. #krofftsuperstore

    Somehow you always knew television of the 1970s was a Sargasso Sea of crazy...

    As a survivor of 70's TV, I can tell you it was more of a Dead Sea of deadly dull. The weed-hazed weirdness coming from Sid and Marty Krofft provided some of the few exceptions. How many bongs were named after H.R. Puffinstuff? #krofftsuperstore

    You know, I was once severely confused by an accidental exposure to an episode of this show and an unfortunate collision with memories of _The Six Million Dollar Man_. I swear, I stood in front of the TV for about ten minutes going "Wait, isn't he supposed to be a robot or something?" before the breakers tripped in my head.

    What *was* it with the seventies and conflicting Bigfoots? #krofftsuperstore

    Was there anything on American television in 1980 or so that didn't suck?

    @TemporalSword: Admittedly, "BBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" and "FWWWWOOON" might actually make for a pretty tough encryption method, as without any discerning auditory features, the language would be hard to crack. Of course, then they'll assume it's encrypted and start doing reverse Fourier analysis on it and then who knows what may happen..

    @crashedpc : ゴキブリ and 蟑螂 division: Cause I can totally envision the terrorists hiding in their crappy little caves with advanced supercomputers capable of Fourier analyses just out of sight. Maybe they are like little Bat caves, with gadgets lying around and souped-up goats ready to launch from 6 different tunnels. Hm, come to think of it, that was kinda the cave in Iron Man, so, yeah!

    I was a little skeptical at first, but after seeing the trailer yesterday before Star Trek, I think I'm sold.


    I don't remember the storyline of the TV show though.. but wasn't it just time travel?

    @mat1cs: I'll make you travel-sized.: Nope, it was surprisingly complex - the Land itself was a closed system - dig down too far, and you come out through the sky - and the Sleestaks themselves were both the ancestors of the race that built the pylons *and* their degenerate descendants.

    @capnrob: Yep. Near the end of the run, when they discovered the "Starfield" was when things got really weird... Great show - cheesy, scary, imaginative, funny - all in one.


    I can't wait.
