This was another show that I watched as a kid growing up in Brantford. The characters were just out of this world, the Count and Igor just to name a few.
The best part of the show was when Igor and the Wolf Man played albums and started to dance with a groovy psychedelic film going on in the background!
They played with guitars and basses during this part of the show. While quite naive back then, I thought that they were actual musicians. This is a link to the scene in the show that I am talking about. Back then I thought that the bat wing guitar that the wolfman used was real and I really wanted one!
If you want to see some more footage, go to YouTube for little morsels of the show.

Billy Van was a comedic genius.
It’s really sad to say that in today’s world of big budget kid shows these guys looked like they were working on a shoestring budget! Why is there no more origonal shows that you can be proud of anymore?

Guess I’m spoiled, I grew up in the golden age of tv. I used to love the old b tv shows, like Ultra man and H. R. Puff & Stuff. My niece turned 9 and wanted a guitar for her birthday. We bought her a “autographed” kiss guitar for her to learn on. Although she didn’t know who they were, she was still the hit of her class on show and tell day.
l love this blog…the wolfman was my favourite…
E., do you remember when he was playing air guitar with Igor? Now that was one of my favorite parts of the show!
I finally looked at the “Bat Wing” guitar that the wolfman used with Igor with the psychedelic background going on and it brought back some really cool memories as a kid.

Hey Las Vegas Real Estate Agent, you should take her to one of their shows for a joke and see if wants to take lessons on it. You never know, if it takes off, she may open up for them one day! Stranger things have happened.

Did you ever hear of the greatest comic genius of our times? His name was John Penrose! Oh, those stories of lips being stung by bee’s while trying to get rid of their hive, in some place called Burford, was just priceless!
