As we often noted before, we here at Babble find the people
who create children’s entertainment are frequently deranged people. Fortunately,
most of the time these mentally ill folk are able to suppress the demons long enough
to make TV shows that are only slightly bizarre, like Blue’s Clues. But then again, sometimes these creators let loose
the swirling vortex of crazy that lives in their heads (possibly liberated with
some good drugs) and unleash their sideshow of horror upon all the precious
children. Here are some examples of “kids” TV shows made by people who clearly
were off their nut.
Slim Goodbody
Mr. Goodbody wants kids to learn about health by flashing
his innards. Dear Mr. Slim, the average exhibitionist at least has the decency
to travel in a trench coat. Okay, so maybe Slim Goodbody isn’t a pervert, he’s
just a nude superhero.
Sigmund and the Sea Monsters
Take a look at this picture. Scared yet? Okay, you’re an
adult, but imagine these things coming to life; what would your four-year-old’s
reaction be?
Little Sigmund here looks like the contents of a salad bar
dumpster come to life, and that’s not his only problem. The beginning of every
episode reminds us that poor Sigmund received death threats from his abusive
family in the prologue. Sweet. And this is all brought to you by Sid and Marty
Krofft, the pair who’ve been gleefully bringing drug-addled nightmares to
children since 1969.
The Osmonds
Follow the wacky adventures of a bunch of a family of globetrotting,
horny Mormon boys. No, I’m not kidding; that’s the premise.
Check out the rest.
