Hey, I Remember This Show: Groovie Goolies
Yet another attempt to exploi -- er -- adapt classic movie monsters for the children of a new generation. Orginally linked with Sabrina the Teenage Witch, the Goolies eventually got their own solo series in the early 1970s. However, they were never as popular as either The Archies, the show on which Sabrina first appeared, or Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, the most popular animated series with a horror theme back in the 1970s.
Perhaps it was just as well. The harder people back in the day tried to update the old-time movie monsters, the more anachronistic they seemed in the long run. And really? A hippie werewolf? Perhaps Abbott and Costello weren't so bad after all.
