Sigmund and the Sea Monsters Reboot

[HardyGirl]

Let the Saturday morning queen speak!

Just kidding, but really I LOVE all things Krofft! In fact I was watching the original Sigmund this morning. (Yeah, it was Saturday morning!). Generally I'm not to fond of remakes, and the fact this show is on Amazon and not standard TV thrills me even less. The one thing it does have going for it, is that the monsters are NOT CGI, which makes it more like the original. But again, I won't be seeing it b/c I already have cable, so I'm not gonna pay to watch something on Amazon. Even though this was an actual Krofft brothers production, it'll never recapture the magic that was Saturday morning in the 70s.

Nothing will eventually happen with ANY of this. You have to recall that Sid and Marty promised a Lidsville movie that NEVER happened.

Sid & Marty Krofft present Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, a live action show for children ages 6 to 11, based on their classic Saturday morning series from the 1970s. The show is centered on two brothers, Johnny and Scotty, who discover and befriend Sigmund, a friendly young sea-monster who escapes from his old life and his comically dysfunctional brothers Slurp and Blurp. Now, using a Clubhouse as their hiding place, the boys must keep Sigmund safe from an ambitious sea-monster hunter Captain Barnabas. The show is Executive Produced by Sid & Marty Krofft (H.R. Pufnstuf, Land of the Lost) with the pilot being directed by Jonathan Judge (The Thundermans, School of Rock) and starring David Arquette (Scream, Jake and the Neverland Pirates) as Captain Barnabas. Garrett Frawley and Brian Turner (Santa Baby) wrote the new teleplay based on the classic series. http://www.toonzone.net/amazons-new-...-june-17-2016/

I loved the original, but went back recently and tried to rewatch one and couldn't make it through. Ah, to be a kid and not recognize the horrible acting and insipid story lines!

My sister watched the reboot and really liked it.
