<u>Liner Notes:</u> Some of you 'youngsters' may not remember, let alone, had been born yet, but back in the 1970's the economy really went to shit and <i>el cheapo</i> was the standard of the day. This was especially noticeable in the production of Saturday Morning Cartoons. The biggest offender of really really crap animation was the Filmation company; they seemed to excel at limited movement and overly re-used and re-purposed animation snippets to fill 25 minutes of cartoon antics, all to push Captain Crunch cereal down the gullets of we hapless girls and boys. They made the Flintstones animation techniques look like Disney by comparison.
Crap as it was, we didn't care as we flopped around on the carpet, all sweetened-cereal jazzed in jammies, our noses two inches from the deadly radiation pouring out of the cathode ray tube which mom assured us would make us 'sterile' before we were even old enough to know what fucking was. Sabrina the Teenage Witch was making a cameo on The Groovie Goolies and we sat mesmerized by the crap pop tune by a crap unheard of pop band and watched the same animation snippets played week after week as if it was something new.
The Groovie Goolies was a spin-off of Sabrina's show, and that in turn was a spin-off of the Archies show. But she never seemed to fit in with Drac, Frankie, and Wolfie in the bizarre groundhogs day environs of Horrible Hall. Somehow, it was if she had moved out of the monster ghetto to live among normal humans, and now was only slumming when she went back to visit. I always wondered what would would happen to her in the Goolies' dungeon, had they stopped playing awful music long enough to realize they were being snubbed. And thus, here is my take… just in time for <b>C.A.B.'s Second Annual Oktober Fetish Celebration.</b> Boo!
ps. Just as a note of interest. Drac's voice was provided by Larry Storch (Corporal Agarn of F-Troop fame) and he still does the voice today at 90 years of age. (That's a pro!)
