I was a child of the 70's. I was raised on Sesame Street and School House Rock. What I loved about this period was Saturday morning cartoons. Ah, what a time to be young! One of the shows I watched was Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. As a kid, I thought it was cool.
Of course, when you're a kid, EVERYTHING is cool. When you get older, everything you THOUGHT was cool is really a load of crap. When I found out that TV Land would show an episode of EW&DG, I got really excited. I canceled my plans and planted myself in front of the tv, ready to be washed in nostalgia. Instead, I spent my time cringing,laughing and screaming "NO MORE" every few seconds. Our heroes wore these devices on their wrists that would give anyone carpal tunnel syndrome, and the guy that helps them looked like he just woke up from a night of heavy drinking.
Sure, it's dated (It's the 70's, after all),and an obvious rip-off of Batman (Dyna Girl says everything with "Electa" in it!), but it is a fun time if you need a good laugh.
