The simple pleasures of childhood brought into focus... and all that... I remember Groovie Goolies as it aired, in the UK, during the Banana Splits and, whilst I didn’t remember details as such, I had a fondness for the funky, kid friendly monsters that made up the gang. However, what I hadn’t realised was that the Goolies were a spin-off of Sabrina (Jane Webb) the Teenage Witch, who appears in the Groovie Goolies and who, herself, was a spin off character from the Archies. So I sat down with this 16 episode box set and as Frankie (Howard Morris) was struck by lightning and intoned “I needed that” memories started trickling back. But memories be damned there was still the fondness… that was until the rose tint peeled and I realised that what I was watching might have been ace when I was 10 but at close to 40 it wasn’t cutting mustard and had aged very badly indeed. The Groovie Goolies takes place at Horrible Hall and primarily focuses on Drac (Larry Storch), Frankie and Wolfie (Howard Morris). Drac is a little inept and uptight, Frankie is rather dim and clumsy, whilst Wolfie is a hipster who likes to surf and drive around in the wolf-mobile. They also perform together as a band – one song per episode, but I’ll get to the music. The supporting cast include Mummy (Howard Morris), the witch Hagatha and the Vampira like Bella La Ghostly (both voiced by Jane Webb), the child monsters Ratso (Larry Storch), Batso (Larry D Mann) and Huntleroyd. There are also Bonepart the skeleton and the two headed Dr Jekyll and Hyde (all voiced by Larry D Mann), as well as some lesser recurring characters...».
