Now That We're Getting A LAND OF THE LOST Movie, What Other Krofft Madness Is Headed To Theaters??

Fuck first :) by Marxeffect	Jun 16th, 2008 09:00:33 AM

No drugs? by Teko	Jun 16th, 2008 09:06:51 AM
I thought it was common knowledge that the "H.R." stood for "Hand-rolled".
What about Wonderbug? by kevinwillis.net	Jun 16th, 2008 09:09:12 AM
And Electra Woman and Dynagirl? Now, those are some movies that need to be made. But Wonderbug has to be a period piece, set in the mid-seventies. Then I'd go see that.
Dr. Shrinker is the way to go. by Nice Marmot	Jun 16th, 2008 09:09:24 AM
That was Sid & Marty, right? Either way, seems more adaptable to film than that crappier crap.
Sigmund and the Sea Monsters . . . by kevinwillis.net	Jun 16th, 2008 09:12:19 AM
It's tough to see how it'll translate. That Land of the Lost could be made into a movie makes sense--they manage to squeeze several seasons out of a new Land of the Lost with more menacing sleestaks and Timothy Bottoms (that all appeared to be shot in a local nature park, and sometimes in somebody's backyard) about, what? 10 years ago? Something like that. The concept is a classic . . . I'm definitely feeling the potential of Wonderbug (man, I loved that show when I was 6). Simgnud and the Sea Monsters was always a: eh, I'll watch this, cuz it's the only thing that isn't golf or a soap opera that's on.
Is it gonna look fake??? by g-ride9000	Jun 16th, 2008 09:14:51 AM
not like CG fake but like man in dinosaur costume fake.
Since I have so much time on my hands. by Nice Marmot	Jun 16th, 2008 09:14:55 AM
I believe, Sigmund was the Sea Monster's name, kevinwillis.net.
Lidsville also had NOTHING to do With Drugs by kevinwillis.net	Jun 16th, 2008 09:15:16 AM
And starred Butch Patrick, of Eddie Munster fame. That's just a remake waiting to happen. And Charles Nelso Reilly as Horatio J. Hoodoo . . . on a kids show. It's amazing that we aren't a nation of 100% stoners.
Will Ferril...please go away by XxSoulFlyxX	Jun 16th, 2008 09:15:43 AM
He has a movie every week like Ben Stiller use to. Its time to take a break and let us forget about you for awhile.
Simgnud The Sae Mnosters by kevinwillis.net	Jun 16th, 2008 09:16:44 AM
Sorry, I spent too much time in my youth having NOTHING to do with drugs. Just Like Sid and Marty Kroft.
Actually . . . by Nice Marmot	Jun 16th, 2008 09:17:00 AM
. . . it appears I'm trying to correct everyone hear. I feel so sure the title is Sigmund, The Sea Monster. Not Sigmund AND the Sea Monster. That ginger kid w/ the fro and the freckles couldn't possibly have been further cursed by being named Sigmund, could he?
I just got off the shellophone with Electrka woman by ArcadianDS	Jun 16th, 2008 09:19:02 AM
she said she was doing dyna-girl between shots.
Sigmund by Teko	Jun 16th, 2008 09:25:02 AM
It was called "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters". But Sigmund WAS the small sea monster's name.
I fucking hate these shows by Jor-El23	Jun 16th, 2008 09:25:15 AM
They're terrifying and creepy and bad. Lidsville has to be the worst one but they're all pretty bad.

Used to freak me out as a kid, still does with that oversized head and them googely eyes..knew a girl once that looked that her head was slighyl huge, short reddish hair and these big ole glasses with cock eyes that seem to bounce inside of those glasses..or maybe that part of it was just my imagination..Downright Phenominal head though, hey sometimes you have 3 or 4, its the end of the night..sh!t happens
Electra Woman and Dyna Girl!!!!! by Seacor	Jun 16th, 2008 09:26:19 AM
Yum
Oh yeat, Sigmund was a sea monster. . . by Nice Marmot	Jun 16th, 2008 09:27:22 AM
. . . but the titular sea monsters were his mean family, trying to steal him back from the ginger kid. Rereading this post will be so sad.
I want to see a Sleestak/Doctor Who crossover... by lynxpro	Jun 16th, 2008 09:28:43 AM

How Are We Not Fucked Up? by Crow3711	Jun 16th, 2008 09:37:48 AM
Watching those videos and listening to the crazy shit adults had us watching as kids, how are more of us not in mental institutions? These shows are fucking crazy man. People say shows Like LOST are way out there and crazy, but seriously, a time-travelling Island that saves the world makes a hell of a lot more sense than anything in the HR PufnStuf video.
Sigmound The Season Monster Theme Song by MRJONZ72	Jun 16th, 2008 09:37:57 AM
I have vague recollations of the images in the video above. But the theme song I remember went something like "Sigmond the sea monster and Johnny and Scott are friends. The finest friends that can be either on land or sea" or something like that... Man why did I watch them videos now both Sigmond and HR are creeping me out! Repressed memories are back!
BIGFOOT AND WILDBOY by dizzywhip	Jun 16th, 2008 09:41:06 AM
the best tv show that ever existed.

The Bay City Rollers Show!! by classyfredblassy	Jun 16th, 2008 09:47:55 AM
That wouldn't be dated at all....
I don't know by TVguy4566	Jun 16th, 2008 09:48:47 AM
I am still disapointed that they are going to make a Land of the Lost for laughs (granted if it is anything like the last few Will Ferrell movies, they really won't be playing for laughs). I would have rather seen then play it straight. Ferrell's mugging the cameras for an hour and a half will probably ruin the movie. I'm guess Sigmund will be one of those bland tweener movies that have come out in recent years. If the lead character was a girl instead of a boy, I would say this is a perfect Emma Roberts vehicle. I expect that movie to come and go. If they do make any of their more trippy shows into a movie, they need to get a Tim Burton type of director to play the trippiness to the hilt. BTW, while on the subject of Will Ferrell. Is it me or are movie comedians shelf life for being funny dwindling? The original SNL cast had a decade run or longer of being funny. Even Bill Murray can be relevant and funny in recent years. Chevy Chase went until the mid-eighties before he hit the comedic wall. Same with Dan Akroyd. Adam Sandler hasn't been funny since Happy Gilmore. Ferrell has put out a lot of crap recently. Ben Stiller has been horrible for years (although Tropical Thunder may turn that around). Jack Black gets weirder and less funny with each movie (although I was never the biggest fan anyway).
Pink Lady and Jeff!! by classyfredblassy	Jun 16th, 2008 09:50:07 AM
Jeff: "You girls are the biggest thing in Japan!" Pink Lady: "No, Jeff, the biggest thing in Japan is Godzilla! COMEDY GOLD!

Mr. Show did an awesome skit... by EriamJH	Jun 16th, 2008 11:14:25 AM
...on the Sid & Marty Kroft shows, living in the land of Drugachussetts. That said, I always thought there were too many gingers on their shows... even the red makeup & white eyeliner for Witchipoo and that little genie kid. But I still would like a flying, flattened top hat.

I'm talking about creepiest fucking show where it seems like all the adults on the show are child molesters. i can't even remember the name of the villain but I believe he was played by Charles Nelson Reilly or Paul Lynnde and he was creepy as hell.
What about The Great Space Coaster? by skycrapper	Jun 16th, 2008 11:54:42 AM
I'm sure that's next.
Were the Bugaloos a Krofft crapfest? by conspiracy	Jun 16th, 2008 12:12:11 PM
Or someone elses Smiley Face Acid trip? NOthing worse than S&M Krofft shit...it is poorly done/cheap Disney for the shoeless, commune living doper. HOw Cheap? These guys built a Theme Park full of this Krafft Crap in a Fuckin MALL in Atlanta! I will say however...YOung Deidra Hall as ELectra woman was quite fappable.
THE FRIDGE WAS NOT NUKED! by ZeroCorpse	Jun 16th, 2008 12:36:03 PM
I'm sick of that phrase. It's based on a LIE. In Indiana Jones there was NO NUKE. It was a small A-bomb test. That's a different thing entirely from a nuclear missile. The magnitude is MUCH higher in a nuke. The damage is much greater with a nuke. A little A-bomb will destroy a city. A nuke would destroy a state, or more. If you're going to use it (and frankly, I thought that scene was funny) then at least say "bombed the fridge" and not "nuked the fridge" because there's no way a fridge would survive a nuclear warhead. There is every possibility that a small A-bomb would be survivable if lead-shielded. It's a terminology thing and it irks me. The scene wasn't so bad that it deserves to be a meme, and it hurts it more that people mangle it into something it was not. Rant over. My vote for a Krofft show is Liddsville; it was the kookiest. Great Space Coaster wasn't Krofft.
Classyfredblassy-- Bay City Rollers by ZeroCorpse	Jun 16th, 2008 12:38:15 PM
Jeez. Thanks for dragging my brain back to the 1970s. I forgot all about that show until you mentioned it, and now it all came bubbling back to the surface. You are REALLY dating yourself to mention it... But you definitely win the "Oh shit, that really DID exist!" prize for the day.
ZeroCorpse - It is Nuclear bomb by toadkillerdog	Jun 16th, 2008 12:47:52 PM
It was a Nuclear bomb. Hence the phrase - Nuked the Fridge. Perhaps you are thinking of the distinction between a Nuclear weapon and Thermo-Nuclear weapon, such as a hydrogen bomb. Yes, that is several degrees of magnitude more powerful than an Atom bomb, but nevertheless, they are both still nuclear.
Thank Merrick... I forgot about Lost Saucer! by Hikaru Ichijo	Jun 16th, 2008 01:29:53 PM
but I do remember SPACE NUTS
In the 1940s it was an A-Bomb. by ZeroCorpse	Jun 16th, 2008 01:30:53 PM
Nuclear technology or not, it was still a BOMB, not a warhead, and the payload is magnitudes different. Either way, it's a STUPID, STUPID, phrase and needs to die. For the record, I liked Indy 4, but then I'm not obsessive about hating Lucas like some people.
toadkillerdog...Thanks for setting that straight. by conspiracy	Jun 16th, 2008 01:33:46 PM
The state of education in this Republic is abyssmal...glad someone on here understands that any uncontrolled nuclear reaction in "bomb" form, is in FACT a "Nuke" in the popular terminology.

conspiracy - You are welcome by toadkillerdog	Jun 16th, 2008 01:39:18 PM
Some people get bent out of shape trying to defend a stupid point - and others simply do not have the right information. If you are going to make an argument, be sure you have the facts straight.
i don't know about you guys by oisin5199	Jun 16th, 2008 01:39:46 PM
but I have really fond un-creeped out memories of those shows. I loved them! Remember the 'hosts' of those Saturday morning shows with the big fros and the platform boots back in the 70s? There was a recent Krofft spoof on My Name is Earl that was pretty funny too. I loved all the silly stuff. Whenever I see those black and white stripe stockings I still immediately think of Witchy-poo!

Oisin5199 by toadkillerdog	Jun 16th, 2008 01:50:37 PM
I am with you. I too have very fond memories of those shows. It was during a time when the TV choices were very limited, and saturday morning cartoons and live shows meant something special. Kids back then actually looked forward to saturday shows, and just like the new TV seasons, kids had new cartoon seasons aimed at them. If anyone looks at comics from the late sixties and seventies you will see the ads for the upcoming saturday cartoon seasons. It was great to anticiapte the new shows. I like having more options now, but my fondness for the old shows will never abate. Long live Lancelot Link Secret Chimp!
So watching all these intros it occurred to me by Kurutteru Yatsu	Jun 16th, 2008 01:53:12 PM
Somewhere in the transition from the 70's to the 80's a switch was made from all the happy stoner fucked up live action shows to cartoons. My cynical self tells me it was the change from the free love, power to the people vibe to the corporate money-grubbing Me Generation, but to be fair, it could also be that someone figured out shows featuring transforming robots kicked ass.
Also..Krofft Stuff is NOT Stoner influenced.. by conspiracy	Jun 16th, 2008 02:23:03 PM
Stoners (Pot smokers), don't usually halucinate about 8ft tall, neon colored, Alternative lifestyle promoting, bipedal Dragons whom talk with a Southern Drawl. Nor could they relate to magical talking flutes. This stuff is a straight up LSD trip..and would send your typical Hesher scambling to find the guy who laced his bud. Not stoner influenced..but was someone dropping acid..you bet.

That would work so well... Although I'd like to know what is going on with "The Bugaloos". They said it was going to be a preschool show in the vein of "The Doodlebops" and "The Wiggles"...I'd much rather have my nephew watch that. It also explains why I like "Pokemon" so much...

I say crank up the sex and f-bombs and make that shit for HBO, you might've had something. Oh yeah, I looked up Pink Lady; a hell of a lot of you seem to remember a show that only ran for six weeks. And after much deliberation, Kei is slightly hotter.

"Nuked the fridge" is entirely accurate. An A-Bomb operates on a nuclear fission reaction. Why does the verb "nuke" - slang, no less - require a warhead and not a bomb?

...used to give me a stiffie before I even understood why. That show was great for any S&M fantasy you might have, the two of them were constantly being tied up and everyone wore tight spandex and leather. Oddly enough, I'm not really into that, but I guess back in the late 70's it was as close to porn as I could get.

Damn them. Will Ferrel is old enough to have watch Land of the Lost when it was out... Why comedy? Oh, I see, they must be remaking the early 90's version...! Oh, and as someone mentioned before in another thread like this-- someone for the love of God make a Cadillacs and Dinosaurs movie!
