Sorry, this movie sucks

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Two costumed female superheroes fight crime in this very low-budget Saturday morning kid's show.I saw this series in my 1970s childhood, then forgot about it for decades, in recent weeks I saw it on YouTube after all this time.For 20 minutes I was having the time of my life with this series on YouTube, others have said it resembles the Adam West Batman series and that is true, but after 20 minutes the fun was slowly going away.The villains in this show don't even come close to the appeal of the villains in Adam West Batman. The video tape look of EWADG gets on your nerves after a short time. The show is a one episode wonder with each new episode being the same as the last.Compared to all the violent superhero movies in theatres today, this show is outstanding, and EWADG is still wonderful entertainment for nine year old kids. But middle aged adults like me might be shaking their heads and saying "Adam West Batman was/is a lot better than this".

Seems to me that from the early 1930s up to the late 1990s, or at least up to mid 1990s, campy stuff was everywhere. Laugh-In, variety shows, Batman, He-Man, Hanna - Barberra cartoons, Alvin & the Chipmunks, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Garfield and Friends, US Acres, Josie & the Pussycats, The 3 Stooges, 2 Stupid Dogs, and that list is not even scratching anywhere near the surface of what made this some of the best decades for television and movies. Recently, people just haven't really shown much of an interest in quite possibly the best style of entertainment: CAMPY STUFF!!! While some of the weird movies and great cartoons made recently have a lot of great camp, I can only think of a few examples. Family Guy, Adult Swim, Robot Chicken, South Park, Late Night with Conan O' Brian, and the Simpsons. A couple of years ago, that show Striperella used to be on TV, but I guess they just decided to stop making new episodes or even to show reruns. (Most people can agree, probably, that anything Pam does {at least in the way of TV} will be ultimate camp because, with exceptions the people who starred in Xena and the stars of the original Batman TV series, Pam is queen of campy!) Anyways, let me just type this one other thing before I completely forget just what I am writing about: Let's help bring back camp!!! Show reruns, not show remakes!! Bring the shows back, not making some new movies from the shows!! (However, TV shows can be made into some good movies occasionally, if people follow the examples and "rules" set in place by TV show movies like The Addams Family (just the first and the second, not the horrendous "Reunion,"); The Brady Bunch Movie; and of course A Very Brady Sequel.) And finally, does anybody know where on the internet I could find a website devoted to this comic book that was kind of a spoof of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. Pretty sure the two characters were Spandex Woman and Lycra Girl. I don't want a website that's just a place where you can buy different comic books. I'd like a website where you can look at the pages of the comic book and where they give a lot of different info is given about the comic book and / or of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.

I was a child of the 70's. I was raised on Sesame Street and School House Rock. What I loved about this period was Saturday morning cartoons. Ah, what a time to be young! One of the shows I watched was Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. As a kid, I thought it was cool.Of course, when you're a kid, EVERYTHING is cool. When you get older, everything you THOUGHT was cool is really a load of crap. When I found out that TV Land would show an episode of EW&DG, I got really excited. I canceled my plans and planted myself in front of the tv, ready to be washed in nostalgia. Instead, I spent my time cringing,laughing and screaming "NO MORE" every few seconds. Our heroes wore these devices on their wrists that would give anyone carpal tunnel syndrome, and the guy that helps them looked like he just woke up from a night of heavy drinking.Sure, it's dated (It's the 70's, after all),and an obvious rip-off of Batman (Dyna Girl says everything with "Electa" in it!), but it is a fun time if you need a good laugh.

Of all the various Sid & Marty Krofft endeavors, "Electra-Woman and Dyna Girl" is the one that sticks out in my mind as the grooviest. By total coincidence, it's also the only one to feature foxy babes in tight costumes, unless you count that one Bugaloo. The titular heroes are two gals who fight all evil deeds. They work for a magazine, hiding the life they lead. They don't have any super powers, save for the various Electra-gadgets designed by their lumpy live-in scientist Frank. Electra-Woman and Dyna Girl live together with Frank, who never leaves their basement. Their adventures don't make any sense. They're like fever dreams, with no logic to guide them. Each episode will have Frank introducing some new invention, and then a silly-beyond-words villain (like Glitter Rock, an incredibly annoying wannabe rock-star with a green afro and hypnotic music) shows up and the only thing that can stop them is? Frank's new invention. The bad guys always hide in abandoned theaters. Dyna Girl constantly uses "Electra" as a prefix, like "Electra-wow!" or "Electra-sneaky!", which makes me wonder why she isn't called Electragirl, or at least say "Dyna-wow!" Everybody acts like they're on drugs.But for all it's pitfalls, it's great TV. I figured out why Sid & Marty Krofft are far superior to other live-action kids programming giants like Saban: They loved what they were doing, they weren't in if for the money. They might have had crappy effects, but they loved their crappy effects! They were proud of those shots of the Electra-Car taking off- so proud that they used it in every episode! They probably thought that optic flash when the gals changed into their costumes was the coolest effect ever. It didn't matter that their stories made no sense and they used the same sets over and over. They loved this sub-Batman camp. They loved Electra-Woman, Dyna Girl, and Frank. They even loved Glitter Rock.In fact, now that I think about it, my respect for the Krofft Empire spans their whole body of work, except for maybe "Pryor's Place". I love the nutty drug-filled antics of H.R. Puffnstuff. I love Hoo-Doo, and Sigmund, and Dr. Shrinker, and I like Magic Mongo and the Far Out Space Nuts as friends. So the next time one of your high-minded contemporaries scoffs at the oeuvre of S&MK, you can tell them that they're scoffing at love, baby, and they can scoff all they want but they'll scoff alone! Those philistines! They'll never know the touch of a felt hand puppet, the passion of an over-the-hill child star, or the fragrant odor of sweaty, under-paid dwarf in a dumb looking sea monster costume. They'll never know about back when TV was good and every show summed up it's premise in the theme song lyrics. I weep for them. Or not. Whatever. Never mind.
