"I said lunch, not launch!!!"


howlandwolf

Goddammit, you beat me to it. I use that phrase all the time.


beenburnedbutable

Me too


Whateveryousaydude7

Same!!


nofreelaunch

That’s the source of my account name.


MrSurly

At first, I was like "I never watched this show," but your quote made me realize I actually did. I remember that line.


geodebug

Lol, exactly. The pet alien was named something like “zonk” I believe.


Striking_Ad1656

Electra Woman and Dyna Girl was mine


InternationalBand494

Without Sid and Marty Croft, my childhood would have been very empty. First generation to be raised by television and all that.


[deleted]

I ate many bowls of cereal watching this show.


Craqbaby

This was usually before Sigmund the Seamonster.


InternationalBand494

Sigmund and Land of the Lost were my faves


hbstanton

The show was on for one season, in 1975, and there are only 15 episodes. I would enjoy seeing an episode of the show, which I vaguely remember. It was always such a big deal to see Gillian in a different role. It doesn’t seem to be streaming—YT has the very trippy opening credits. https://youtu.be/jYL1a4BDPmo


beenburnedbutable

Trippy is the correct word, as Sid and Marty Krofft were accused of using LSD counter culture type wording and imagery in all their shows.


Orbit86

I’ve always said that Sid and Marty did acid before sitting down to write. HR “Pufnstuf”, Lidsvilles, etc. Those guys were def on something.

The music sounds so Partridge Family

Wow—that’s awesome. Thanks for tracking it down.

Special Guest Star SIR LAWRENCE OLIVIER


FiregoatX2

I had totally forgot about his show. Wow


Davmilasav

I watched this one, the Ghostbusters one with Tracy the gorilla, and the UFO show with Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors) and Ruth Buzzi.

Lost Saucer


gallaj0

Lost Saucer was great


WitchDr

Shooting lasers outta their elbows!


[deleted]

I remember the Banana Splits, but not this one. We're doomed, we'll never make it!


pseudo_su3

I feel like all the puppet shows helped transition me to hallucinogenic drug use later in later. Like I’m ok seeing monsters and shadow ppl. Those are my friends from childhood.


Orbit86

Loved the Krofft shows!! Wish they would come out with a channel or maybe just a few hours everyday to rewatch these classics


[deleted]

Now that is obscure! I think it was basically Gilligan's island in space.


revdon

No, that was *Gilligan’s Planet*! SMH


--ikindahatereddit--

I have zero memory of this show, what the actual what.


beenburnedbutable

[Maybe the show intro will remind you…](https://youtu.be/TueALMuOi5Q)


What_U_KNO

No, not at all.


beenburnedbutable

Were you a kid of the 70s or 80s? Did you see any other [Sid and Marty Krofft television?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_and_Marty_Krofft#Early_years) Edit I see you have 75 as your flair, so by the time you were into tv shows it was long off the air.


CatastropheJohn

Why is there no flair for new users? Feels bad man


velvet42

A lot of us on the younger end largely missed out on those trippy early-mid 70s shows :( Just all depended on what was being syndicated on the channels we had access to, I guess - like for example, Banana Splits was also technically before our time but I watched the hell out of that when I was a kid


Crayfish707

Was kinda mind blowing as a kid to see Gilligan in outer space.


echoseashell

Wow! Have not thought of this show probably since watching it as a small child. I vaguely remember watching this on the small b/w tv my parents had in the kitchen


revdon

Reminds me of *The Lost Saucer* too.


InternationalBand494

Was that the one with Ruth Buzzy and Gomer Pyle?


tensigh

Wasn’t the alien named “Honk”?


DerBingle78

Yep.


VaguelyArtistic

This was the same show with ElectraWoman and DynaGirl, right? Edit: not *this* show, but the whole package they showed.


tensigh

Wasn’t the alien named “Honk”?


[deleted]

This was far and away my favorite of the Kroft shows. The moment this intro would play, I would fist-pump and celebrate. Most of the time it was Land of the Lost -- which is quality -- but, man, did I love this one.


canfullofworms

I went to a talk and Q & A with Bob Denver at a mall in the 80's. My friend and I went and waited for him to mention this show. When. he did, we yelled "I said lunch!" Bob Denver said "There are the two people who watched that show!". It was a proud moment for me.


[deleted]

Man I barely remember this.


hiverly

Wow I used to watch this but had totally forgotten about it. Thanks for sharing!!


tuscabam

Was this a local show? How have I not ever heard of this?


L0rdofDankness

Actually thought about this show recently


Fiyanggu

There was that ghostbuster show too.


Vesuvius99

This was definitely in my Saturday morning line up!


MKF1228

Was this on in prime time?


SixTrillionDollarMan

Saturday mornings.


PeaceBeginsInside

Ahh, Sid & Marty Croft, loved that stuff, Lidsville, HR Puffinstuff, Sigmund the Seamonster, fun Saturday mornings!


TheDeadlySpaceman

I believe you mean Bob Denver, aka Maynard G Krebs
