Bigfoot & Wildboy was one of the components of the Krofft Supershow during the latter's 2nd season. While in real life no one's been able to prove the existence of Bigfoot, he was a valuable commodity in Hollywood, used in some storylines on another ABC hit, The Six Million Dollar Man, before the Kroffts got him. Marvin Miller, the original voice of Aquaman 10 years earlier, provides the narration:
Bigfoot & Wildboy filled the action-adventure void in Supershow created with the cancellation of Electra Woman & Dynagirl, a distaff parody of Batman that has become a cult favorite unto itself. However, Bigfoot proved to be a little more successful and popular, as ABC brought it back as a stand alone series a little more than a year later as a mid-season replacement. Unfortunately, it would also be the last series the Kroffts would produce for ABC until 1991, when Land of the Lost was revived.
Rating: A-.
