Reminds me of The Electric Company. I watched several of the episodes as an adult, and it's all "Wow, that was very risque for the time. Lots of barely concealed adult humor and gun stuff." I miss shows like that.
I don't remember the humor on the electric company but all the humor in the seventies, especially the early years was all about drugs. Remember all the Krofft shows? A lot of the children shows were druggy. I didn't get it until I grew up.
Then all the Boomers started overdosing and dying and their kids started using drugs and they stopped that shit fast.
The only one of the Kroftt shows I really got into was Land of the Lost. It was pretty trippy but not really drugged, but I didn't care. Dinosaurs, ancient technologies, and lost cities in a pocket dimension? Sign me up.
Sigmund and the Sea Monsters was really druggy and I think there was one about a magic flute were really druggy. Then there was Lidsville, which I don't even remember that was just a drug advertisement. Land of the Lost was the best of them though. Even Fraggle Rock was druggy. Remember those little construction guys would eat shit and just be crazy to build shit? They were taking speed
Boomers fucked around more and did worse shit than any generation after them.
