As an adult, I can see that Dr. Shrinker didn't have a great deal to offer older viewers in terms of significant plot developments. These were great "shorts", along with the other two "shorts": "Wonder Bug" and "Elektra Woman and Dyna Girl".
I really enjoyed Dr. Shrinker at the age of 8. Each week, the theme song escorted me into that week's story line of near doom and gloom! As a youngster, I could always picture myself as a Shrinkie (after all, I wasn't much bigger than they were) just vying for the chance to turn the tables on Dr. Shrinker and coming to the rescue of my friends (and myself, of course).
What's frightening is that I can still sing most of the Theme Song! I was pleased to find out that The Osmonds recorded this piece.
While this might not have appealed to everyone, I loved Dr. Shrinker--sandwiched in between "Wonder Bug" and "Elektra (sp?) Woman and Dyna Girl", each with its own memorable theme song.
My 8-year-old mind looked forward to these Krofft productions where the good guys usually won and the bad guys paid for their misdeeds! I miss those 8-year-old times of my life.
Sincerely, Jon
