The Krofft Supershow was one crazy kids' show. It was inventive, attention-grabbing, and unlike anything else on the air. Hot on the heels of the successful H.R. Pufnstuf series, The Krofft Supershow featured several short live-action segments including Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. This segment featured two magazine reporters who doubled as superheroines. Their adventures were intentionally campy (a'la the 1960's Batman show), so of course there was plenty of colorful spandex and bad acting for all. There were 16 twelve-minute segments in their single season (the girls didn't return for Season 2). In 2000, Living Toys (with Art Asylum) released a series of four action figures from a variety of Sid & Marty Krofft properties. It's a shame there was never a second series because there are a lot more deserving characters in the world of Krofft. A Dyna Girl would have been especially nice to at least complete this duo, but I'd much rather have one than none at all. Let's check out Electra Woman below!
