Bigfoot and Wildboy

Like Shazam and Isis, this show is heavy on morality tales but does a very good job teaching right from wrong, the positives of listening to adults and learning from mistakes. Most of the episodes available on the net are grainy. Look for a quality dvd or probably VHS tape and most kids will have fun.

I like land of the lost better. that said thee are some things I like about this show,. I like the actress that played Susie in seas one one. her name was Monica Ramirez. I like the disco theme. one day I like to get a DVD of the show or comic adaption of the show good wholesome fun not much of anything else cheesy plots and dialogue an goofy fun.

while it is not as good as land of the lost another croft show made in the same era the seventies. I do like the science fiction plats and Susie the character I season is so pretty to look at I can sit through each episode. I hope to one day purchase the croft super show comic which has a big foot wild boy comic book story in it.

This show was a different kind of show for the Krofft brothers. It wasn't as trippy as most of their creations and it was fairly close to being a straight adventure series. It also had a twist where the kid partner was the leader and the so-called adult was the sidekick. Another thing that I liked about the show was that it was videotaped rather than filmed which made I think that gave it more of an edge than most of the Krofft shows.

Saturday morning kid's show of the 1970s.

Just watched about 70% of the episodes on YouTube.

The first short season of just eight 25 minute adventures is highly entertaining...in a crazy science fiction sort of way. Very repetitive in general presentation (music cues, stock footage, filming locations, zero characterisation) but one hell of a lot of fun to watch! The kid playing Wildboy does not say much but who cares.

The first season episode titled - UFO - is probably my favourite as this has elements of Lost In Space (1965), The Time Tunnel (1966) and QM's The Invaders (1967).

Only seen some of season two (Invasion, Space Prisoner, Titan, Mummy, Vampire, Outlaw Bigfoot).

Season two attempted to address the above mentioned repetitive issues but things never quiet worked out. Yes it added different music cues but the new music was not so good. Yes it had more variety in locations but somehow season one just looked better in every way.

In a nutshell, do what ever you can to catch season one but don't expect the same fireworks from season two. Despite a bumpy second season, this series still stands as a style over substance gem and perhaps better than the previous Krofft series Land of the Lost.

I loved this show growing up...geared toward children this cute show is not suppose to appeal to Adults...but even now being 50+ I still get a kick out of watching this fun blast from the past.

From eye candy Joseph Butcher who played Wildboy to.... aww heck who cares about the rest of the cast.. 🤷 I tuned in for Wildboy..🤗.

Anyone who confuses Joey's true age 20 about to turn 21 with WildBoy's age (15 in season 1 & 16 in season 2) must also believe Ray Young was a 200 year old man playing a 200 year old BigFoot...wow, an awful lot of Einsteins out there! People please, if you don't know what you're talking about pinch those lippers shut! IMHO

Set in the Pacific North West...Bigfoot comes across a small child alone, lost in the woods..taking in the tiny orphan WB was 7..he took care of him for 8 years...he raises him calling him WildBoy..apparently, Helpers taught WB to read & write, also to drive...BF taught WB his lost language, WB in return teaches BF English...Duh!

Don't recall if Wildboy ever hit puberty...I do remember a few jealousy scenes involving Susie, Cindy & a few guest stars...but no romance...again TV show was aimed at children..

Joseph Butcher was fun to watch..the episodes kept kids entertained...wonder what Mr. Butcher is up to now?? I heard from Mr. Butcher received 2 signed pics plus some extra goodies...very sweet Man....he is happy doing what he loves.
