    Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

    Grimossfer

    Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

    One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

    Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

    I thought I was one of the few folks on this earth that remembered this cartoon show! I don't feel as daft anymore! I remember waking up in time to watch it on Saturday mornings, then it was moved to Sunday mornings. I wish they would bring these good shows back. Seems like todays shows lack the imagination that it took to create shows like this one. I realize that a lot of the original people that created the voices of a lot of these beloved characters have passed on, and will be greatly missed. I wished I could go back in time to record these shows for todays youths to see, and also to look at when I am sad and need to be reminded of a better time.

    I have never met anyone who remembers this show. Don't know if it was only show certain places, or if the people I meet just didn't watch it. Whatever the case, I so wish I could find copies of it. I still remember the skeleton playing the xylophone w/his bones and them chasing each other through the house and the way cool music! Frankie and Wolfie, oh, I just loved them all!!!! I find myself sometimes singing some of the songs (Chickaboom) and actually picturing the silly characters. I wonder if it was a West Coast/Southwest thing. Living in Northern Texas and everyone looks at me like I'm a nut when I talk about the show.Cartoon Network, hear my calls and find this wonderful show and put it on!!

    I didn't know Sabrina was in the series of "Groovie Goolies" matter fact haven't heard of the Groovie Goolies 'til I saw Prince's video for "Girls and Boys"(1986) & at the end Jerome was laughing at Prince saying "Boo!" & he was like "What he think this is the 'Groovie Goolies' or something?". I asked what it was & looked it up here. Be cool 2 see it on TV again & see what it was all about. I wonder if there was a Gem Stone in this series like the new-sorta Animated Series? And seeing monsters play instruments would be cool..& funny. Bring this show back!!! Perhaps Boomerang or maybe even TV Land channel that'll be better-IMO.

    Sabrina and the Groovie Goolies was both an off-shoot of the Archies, and a cartoon version of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. Although Sabrina had her fans, the Goolies were the main attraction.The Goolies were Frankie, Count Drac, Wolfie, Bella, Hagatha, Mummy, Bonapart, Dr Jekyll-Hyde, Batzo, Ratzo, and Hautleroy. There were joined by musical groups the Bare Bones Band and the Mummies & the Puppies. Frankie, Drac, and Wolfie were cartoon versions of the Universal monsters, with a few twists. Frankie was big, but dimwitted. Drac was pretty much himself, if a bit inept. Wolfie was a cool cat for a wolfman, with a t-shirt and baggies and a skateboard. He spoke in a hipster fashion while skating into castle walls. Bella was a vampire, probably named for Bella Lugosi, and bore a strong resemblance to Vampira. Hagatha was a witch, mummy a , well, mummy. Bonapart was a skeleton with a Napoleonic hat. Dr Jekyll-Hyde was one man with two heads; one Jekyll, one Hyde. Batzo and Ratzo were twin vampire troublemakers and Hauntleroy was a ghostly practical joker and coward.The gang got together for jokes, many lame, but still funny to this (then) 4 year-old. They varied between sketches and quick gags, with recurring catch phrases; such as when Frankie would be struck by lightning and utter, in a Boris Karloff-like voice, "I needed that!" There was a wall with various doors and windows for pop-up appearances and jokes, as on Laugh-In. There would be musical numbers, in a breezy pop style, much like the Archies (they were actually pretty good for that kind of bubblegum pop).The show was fun as a kid and I always enjoyed it. A few years back, I found a couple of videotapes with episodes of the cartoon. It didn't hold up as well, but was still funny in parts. It was a Filmation cartoon, so there was plenty of stock footage. It featured great voicework by Larry Storch (F-Troop) and Howard Morris (Andy Griffith Show, Sid Ceasar). You could do a lot worse than this show. Besides, you gotta love that theme song!
