I've always wondered why one of the card manufacturers never put out a series of cards based on the shows of Sid & Marty Krofft. When I grew up, their shows practically ruled Saturday mornings along with Hanna/Barbera. Look at the Krofft shows from which a set could be made:
HR Pufnstuf Bugaloos Lidsville Sigmund & Sea Monsters Land of the Lost Lost Saucer Far Out Space Nuts Krofft Supershow Electra Woman & DG Dr. Shrinker Wonderbug Krofft Superstar Hour The Bay City Rollers Bigfoot & Wildboy Magic Mongo Horror Hotel Lost Island
And if you're interested in autograph cards, just look at the possibilities when it comes to people signing:
H. R. Pufnstuf Jack Wild (Jimmy) Billie Hayes (Witchiepoo) Roberto Gamonet (H.R. Pufnstuf) Lenny Weinrib (H.R. Pufnstuf voice) Joan Gerber (Freddie the Flute)
Bugaloos John McIndoe (I.Q.) John Philpott (Courage)
Lidsville Butch Patrick (Mark) Charles Nelson Reilly (Hoo Doo) Weenie the Genie (Billie Hayes)
Sigmund & the Sea Monster Johnny Whitaker (Johnny Stuart) Rip Taylor (Sheldon the Sea Genie)
Land of the Lost Spencer Milligan (Rick Marshall) Wesley Eure (Will Marshall) Kathy Coleman (Holly Marshall) Ron Harper (Uncle Jack)
The Lost Saucer Ruth Buzzi (Fi) Jim Nabors (Fum)
Far Out Space Nuts Bob Denver (Junior)
Electra Woman and DynaGirl Deidre Hall (Laurie/Electra Woman) Judy Strangis (Judy/Dyna Girl)
Krofft Super Show Bay City Rollers
And don't forget Sid & Marty Krofft themselves!
It just amazes me that this set has never happened. So, if a certain card company wants to make a KAZILLION dollars by taking us Baby Boomers down Memory Lane....hint...hint...hint...
