Electra Woman And Dyna Girl were a pair of female superheroes whose show ran back to back for a season with Captain Marvel on Saturday mornings. It was to let girls know that they too could aspire to superhero status, not something completely reserved to boys.It also had a faint trace of lesbianism in the relationship of the two women. Both like Clark Kent work in the world of journalism, the better to hear where there might be an outbreak of evil doing something bad they would have to right.They had as much scientific gadgetry as Batman&Robin and an Alfred type butler to take care of them in the person of Norman Alden. Wonder Woman at least in the comics never had a sidekick.Deidre Hall before enjoying decades as a soap opera queen was a symbol of liberated women. Judy Strangis who had an innocence like quality was an able companion and sidekick. Both raised a lot hormone hackles among the pubescent and their dads.Interesting show, I wish more episodes were done.

This show had low budget written all over it. Way too much overacting (especially with DynaGirl), along with the cheap sets, lame effects (even for the mid 1970s), and lame villains. I also couldn't stand the overuse of "Electra". I know catch phrases are important to a series like this, but come on! The ones I remember most are the spider woman and whoever made DynaGirl evil. These plots have been used in many superhero series. Come on Kroffts, can't you at least be semi-original? No wonder why this lasted only eight episodes. The theme song was kinda catchy, but the rest stunk. At least Deidre Hall had a career after 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.

This Saturday morning live-action show can best be summed up by four words: Deidre Hall in spandex! All I can add to that is "Yowza!!!!"OK, that may not be very politically correct, but for a show that seemingly had women's lib at its core, it sure seemed to spend a lot of time focusing on the attractive Ms. Hall and her sidekick in their tight spandex outfits, escaping from lame death traps, and carrying the biggest watches you'll ever see, this side of a Power Rangers show.Like most Kroft shows, it was bright, colorful, and cheesy. The dialogue was beyond lame and the villains laughable (as in ineptly campy). The ladies did have a pretty cool car, though. The duo would be saved by some new gadget or function added to their enormous wrist devices, created by their mentor and scientist friend, Frank (Norman Alden). Ms. Hall and her friend looked fantastic, but no one could do this show with a straight face.
