I was so excited to see The Hilarious House of Frightenstein finally back on the air in re-runs on Drive-In on the satellite. This show, more than almost any other, I think, except the 60's Spiderman cartoon, really transports me back to my childhood...it is so strange watching it now, and remembering the gorilla coming out of the trees, the hippie Superman, the mosquito, Griselda, the fortune teller, the professor..the list goes on and on. This motivates me to get set up so I can capture directly to DVD.
The only catch is, the crazy 70's psychedelic dance sequences are cut out, at least for now, due to rights and clearances. Same reason some of the classic Mystery Science Theatre episodes will never hit DVD. I'd be happy if they just cleared one tune and ran the same song on each episode, just to see the bluescreen sillouhette of Igor (with the big "I" on his chest..like you can't tell it's him...). Apparently, they're working on some song clearances.
Crazy..I loved that show.

There's no one left, but me...and him...

Don't...come alone."
