is that a Canadian retro reel?? I've never seen that show before. I think it would do well today...we need more Wildboy stuff

Hi D. Prince,
This is great! How “retro” is it? Big Foot reminds me of a guy I used to date in College; hmmm, I wonder if he became an actor instead of pursuing a teaching credential?

These old T.V. clips you’re sharing with us are terrific…thanks!

Hi Guys,

Bigfoot & Wildboy is actually one of Sid & Marty Krott's wacky creations. It aired on ABC in 1977 as part of the Krott Supershow. There were only about 8 -15 minutes episodes ever made. I have one on tape and you kinda have to see it to believe it.
One of those "it's so bad it's good" things.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I remember HR Pufnstuf, †he Bugaloos, Land of the Lost and Sigmund and the sea monster...but this one has completely slipped my mind...

Oh and one about a Batman and Robyn team but with girls...i don't remember their names

Pamer: I don't know that one but it sounds interesting.

I love Sigmund! Look out for him coming up soon on retro reel.

Jimmeny jillikers, being raised by Bigfoot gave Wildboy superpowers! That only leaves us to "wonder" what might've happened had he been raised by say, robots? I think that alcoholism would've been the likely result.
