Even though this could have been the spin off of the 6MDM episode...there was also WildBoy...which by co-incidence...there was an episode of the 6MDM where Steve Austin was to save "Wild Boy" from certain death.
So...it could be fair to say..both Big Foot and Wild Boy are a spinoff of both episodes of the 6MDM.
That's weird I don't remember this show at all as a child growing up in the seventies and I clearly remember all the rest of these shows. I was laughing the whole way through this video!!
This is so cheesy, yet, I loved it. I know you could not put it out there today, but man, I used to love to watch these shows. These were great shows for really young kids.
@faceman68 true but its better for them to watch shows like bigfoot and wildboy maybe they wouldn,t be so crazy and picking up guns to kill people at ten years old
omg at 0:40 it sounds like he broke his legs, but he still is able to walk... maybe he's too stupid to feel pain? or does he even know he broke his legs?
I kinda remember the show, don't remember any episodes but i remember the opening, simply because the "bigfoot" character was so awesome, i would like to just watch him doing strong bigfoot stuff.
Update: Bigfoot and Wildboy are now domestic partners, living in the accepting gay district of Seattle, where the faux-hawked, fixie-riding Bigfoot runs a coffee shop and Wildboy is a successful DJ.
How could anyone not enjoy bigfoot from the 70's unless you were not born then or did not watch it. I was not even a teenager and I watch this show and loved it as a kid. As a matter of fact on Saturdays I watched tv from the morning to evening and barely and rarely moved to eat or get a drink of water. Look at this show from a child's point of view and it would be worth over it's weight in gold.
If I recall from back then, this show was nearly a spin-off from the 6 Million Dollar Man's bigfoot character, but only partially. Don't forget, that was a hit when it aired, so the producers obviously wanted to cash in with it's own show. They wanted it both ways, a non-bionic more real-deal Bigfoot, but strongly associated with the bionic man's rendition of it. He was expected to still run as fast, jump as high, etc. because the audience loved it.
@TheJediCharles Ray Young had guest starred on the Six Million Dollar Man and was from that show he learned how to create the illusions of long jumps.
@sallyjosie I have all of the Six Million Dollar man's eps on DVD...what episode was Ray Young in? So, if they hadn't have gotten Ray Young, would the producers of Bigfoot and Wildboy have sat around scratching their heads on how to film those long jumps??
@joeyvader My bad. I guess I received bad information. here is the right info. (cut and pasting)Ray Young who played "Bigfoot" appeared in many other television shows, including an episode of The Bionic Woman called "Iron Ships And Dead Men" on March 30, 1977, but not as Bigfoot. He played Bob Richards. He appeared in a number of shows like the new adventures of Wonder Woman, Murder Sher Wrote, Matlock, Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Quantum Leap to name just a few. And not in order. He died in 1999
@sallyjosie Interesting...I'm gonna bet that playing Bigfoot on a lame children's show wasn't the highlight of his career...but a dudes' gotta eat..! Have you ever seen any of theze Bigfoot and Wildfoot episodes?? Man oh man...they stink worse than a flaming diaper pail...
@joeyvader I watched them when I was young and now I'm watching them here on youtube. There was a few years ago a Krofft Supershow 3 video pk that had one of every Krofft show on it. Or at least most of them. I forget where I put it but I do recall that there was one Bigfoot and Wildboy on it. And there's some silly new show about bigfoot on either the History channel or the Discovery channel. I don't believe in Bigfoot. No offense to those that do. But that 1960's film footage looks like a guy.
.Bigfoot..Sightings of them continue to this day, from people from all walks of life. If you're interested check Bill Munn's fx site. . He's the first fx guy to really take an in depth look at the subject in Patterson's film. As a creature suit designer himself, he is well aware of the limitation put on men in suits. The subject in the film has short hair, whereas most suits of the day have long shaggy hair to hide seams and joining points. The head and neck hair has Munn's puzzled.
As the subject puts weight on the right leg, the vastus lateralus is seen flexing.(Youtube clip 'muscle movement on Patty's thigh' to see this). Quite a feet for a suit made by the best fx studio in the world to accomplish, let alone 2 outta work rodeo guys National Geographic had Peter Burke, the head of Jim Henson's Creature Shop scrutinize the film, from a second gen copy (far clearer than anything on Youtube). Burke found some features he wasn't prepared for.
@sallyjosie From the 1st gen copy, achilles tendon flexing is seen, trapezius flexing during the head turn is apparent, as well as toe movement before the heel strike. The hair moves and conforms during movement to all of the muscle in the back, indicating a muscle understructure over 4 way stretch fur (not around in '67).. After finding no smoking gun that would prove it was a man in a suit, Burke commented "I have NO IDEA how they would have made this suit in 1967."
Janos Prohaska, who made his living in primate suits said "If it was a suit, it was the best suit I have ever seen!" Prohaska played apes of every variety in the 50's and 60's. If you're a Trek fan, he is the Mugato in the classic episode 'A Private Little War"...
@joeyvader Actually you really can't tell. Plus the guy who helped film the fraud has come clean. He admitted that he and his friend Roy did it as a joke. Just shows how guillibe some people are. just like the crop circles. Many of the die-hard believers in that crap couldn't believe that mere Humans could build the complicated circles and yet National Geographic filmed some mathematic students and their teacher actually creating both the calculations and actually making the circle themselves.
@sallyjosie Nobody named "Roy" involved....it was Bob Heronimus that finally came forward. after 35 years of silence..35 years! You'd think that when Roger Patterson was making money from the film in the late 60' and early 70's that THAT would have been the time to expose the hoax..why wait 35 years? watch Heronimus in his less than stellar recreation..he's here on youtube..he has NO resemblance to the Patterson subject in his shaggy pathetic ape suit...watch it and see for yourself.
That is correct. They wanted to have Bigfoot with the same speed and strength that Steve Austin had. But again..shows like this don't usually take off if the narrator has to explain the premise of the show during the opening credits. Means you would get lost trying to figure out what the characters are trying to do. Only time the narrator explaining the premise of a show during the opening credits worked was the 6 million dollar man.
I don't know if I agree with the idea that a narrator explaining the show don't usually take off. Star Trek and Star Trek the Next Generation, Twilight Zone, The Hulk, Knight Rider, Charlie's Angels, Dragnet... heck, even Law and Order.
I hear what you're saying and a lot of such shows bombed, but I don't see the "narrator-to-bomb" correlation. I do agree however, the SMDM is probably the king of narrator intros!
@TheJediCharles Nope...the two shows had nothing to do with each other..this was done by Sid and Marty Kroft, who had nothing to do with any shows made by Universal...Bigfoot did get around in the late 70's though...there were several documentaries out at the time on the subject..
Obviously they did have "something to do with one another". They weren't the same production company, but anyone with a pulse can tell at the most the rights were bought or at the least it was a knock off.
But to say they had "nothing to do" with each other is just not correct. It was more than merely cashing in on a Sasquatch interest. It was chasing a popular episode of a popular show.
@TheJediCharles They do have nothing to do with each other..No one owns the right to Bigfoot, so why would one productiuon company have to buy the rights from another one? The Bigfoot seen in the Six Million Dollar Man was a robot...how does this have ANY resemblance to the Bigfoot seen here?
Of course nobody "owns rights to bigfoot", but the SMDM show created a bigfoot with very specific fictional abilities, and corresponding sound effects which were highly recognizable. The super jumps with sound, the super lifts with sound, the super speeds with a speedometer... this show was transparently no less than trying to be a knock-off. They would have been smart to buy rights, because this brand of idea-stealing is the kind that puts one under the fist of a civil court.
@TheJediCharles 'at the most the rights were bought or at the least it was a knock off' Tell us all who owns the original rights to Bigfoots image... I am trying to get a Ssaquatch movie made, and need tio know from whom to get the rights....
It was...that is why they did things during the opening credits...like showing you how fast he ran by putting up a spedometer and showing how high he could jump. The six million dollar man episodes where he confronted bigfoot were some of the highest rated episodes.
@TheJediCharles ok but wasn't the Bigfoot from the 6 million dollar man actually a robot?, because i use to wonder too if this was a spin-off from that show.
Don't get me wrong; I don't mean it was supposed to be "the same" bigfoot. It seems like it was just to cash in on a success. It was a cash cow. They re-imagined a number of things (probably just enough to not be sued) but it was apparently similar to anyone that liked the former Bigfoot on 6MDM.
The dead giveaway are the sounds, jumps, undercranking, and the speedometer.
God...I used to use my Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker action figures as Bigfoot and Wildboy. I think Hollywood needs to reboot this. Hey, Harry and the Henderson's did well, didn't it? Haha
@ohmah70 Let me join you in your time machine :) ! The Six Million Dollar Man, the Incredible Hulk, the Land of The Lost, ZOOM, the Electric Company, the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries...YES, in my opinion, the '70s HAD IT ALL! In my opinion, the '80s were EQUALLY decent! Today, well, despite modern technology, T.V. stations have NO CLUE how to ENTERTAIN TODAY'S audiences! THANK GOD for Youtube!
@ohmah70 haha no doubt, i was born in 1990 and watched this show as well as some really retro shows, like from the 60's thunderbirds and fireball xl 5, lots of great shows through the decades unlike todays crap
@TankerTim1973 Nope. This was a Sid/Marty Krofft show, from the late 1970's. They were ripping off the popularity of the Bigfoot appearance on the SMDM.
It's a shame the quality of televisions we have today, how much it's evolved, whereas the stuff to watch on them have devolved even more rapidly. Really, I didn't mind changing the channels with a pair of pliers after the knob fell off, using a coat hanger to get better reception, things like that. It was worth it to watch awesome shit like this!
Boy, you said it! Kids get spoon fed entertainment these days. Back then, half the entertainment was getting the TV to deliver. It built better character as we appreciated what we got and frankly earned it more.
I believe we have better survival skills after having to learn the subtle nuance of getting a vertical hold in that just right sweet spot. Kids today don't know they're born.
"Bigfoot raised him until he grew up to be Wildboy". That doesn't make sense, should he have grown up to be Wildman? I'm starting to think that this might not be a true story.
I'm not kidding, this might not be a true story. Wildboy speaks perfect english but bigfoot just grunts. Explain that marcus! Plus they caught all this footidge on tape! How likely is that when there have only been 40 or 50 authentic videos of bigfoot ever recorded? You are fooling your elf. I mean self.
@000MrAnderson -You talk a good game, but, after careful analysis, I just don't buy it. The authentic videos are obvious proof that Bigfoot was kind & would nurture a young Wildboy; Bigfoot had a natural responsibility to raise Wildboy - he could've got kids' books from trash cans for WB to LEARN. OK. And BF would stay true to his heritage by grunting. It's simple nature and nurture - that's a fact. True story.
Bigfoot hates criminals, as we all do. Nobody doughts that! The video is authentic and nobody casn argure that Bigfoot is real. There is one thing that is un-clear. Where does Wildboy get a perm? The government is lieing to us! Open your eyes Marcus!
@000MrAnderson -I see! You are right again, but, pure common sense tells us it's an authentic video of the real Bigfoot; we are just debating over aspects of the story line! Of course, everyone knows that to adapt it for prime time TV, Bigfoot and Wb had to 'act it up' a bit just to flesh out the story for younger viewers (and some adults). IMHO - BigFoot did a remakable acting job considering he had very little formal acting training and grew up in a forest and stuff.
marcusbondi, you have missed the point! Bigfoot was a blood thirsty ape/man until he raised Wildboy. Then and only then they became teacher and mentor. Bigfoot was a father figure to Wildboy. I don't think BF & WB ever "acted it up." It was all real. WE NEED MORE BIGFOOTS!
After watching the Little League World Series, I have changed my mind. Bigfoot was a terrible dad. Why didn't he coach a little league team? WB could have been a good shortstop with a good bat. BF got lazy. IMHO.
Ah yeah, I remember this on Saturday mornings. Looking back though, they should have used a mask or better makeup for Bigfoot. Hell this just looks like some guy from Lynard Skynard or something.
One time Bigfoot shit out a possum in the woods and I accidentally stepped in it. Then I rubbed my foot on the ground in order to get the shit off my shoe.
I forgot all about this show until I stumbled onto this. LOL. Assuming this show was post Steve Austin vs. Sasquatch. Did it compete with the incredible Hulk with Lou F. or was it on the same network? I can't remember.
Even though this could have been the spin off of the 6MDM episode...there was also WildBoy...which by co-incidence...there was an episode of the 6MDM where Steve Austin was to save "Wild Boy" from certain death.
So...it could be fair to say..both Big Foot and Wild Boy are a spinoff of both episodes of the 6MDM.

In my opinion, the '80s were EQUALLY decent! Today, well, despite modern technology, T.V. stations have NO CLUE how to ENTERTAIN TODAY'S audiences! THANK GOD for Youtube!

Notice that Bigfoot's jumps are edited in a manner similarly to the super leaps
from Six Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman, and Wonder Woman. Even has a similar
sound effect.

It's a shame the quality of televisions we have today, how much it's evolved, whereas the stuff to watch on them have devolved even more rapidly. Really, I didn't mind changing the channels with a pair of pliers after the knob fell off, using a coat hanger to get better reception, things like that. It was worth it to watch awesome shit like this!

@EvelTwinOfSlogmaster
Boy, you said it! Kids get spoon fed entertainment these days. Back then, half the entertainment was getting the TV to deliver. It built better character as we appreciated what we got and frankly earned it more.
I believe we have better survival skills after having to learn the subtle nuance of getting a vertical hold in that just right sweet spot. Kids today don't know they're born.

"Bigfoot raised him until he grew up to be Wildboy". That doesn't make sense, should he have grown up to be Wildman? I'm starting to think that this might not be a true story.

@marcusbondi
I'm not kidding, this might not be a true story. Wildboy speaks perfect english but bigfoot just grunts. Explain that marcus! Plus they caught all this footidge on tape! How likely is that when there have only been 40 or 50 authentic videos of bigfoot ever recorded? You are fooling your elf. I mean self.
000MrAnderson 1 year ago
@000MrAnderson -You talk a good game, but, after careful analysis, I just don't buy it. The authentic videos are obvious proof that Bigfoot was kind & would nurture a young Wildboy; Bigfoot had a natural responsibility to raise Wildboy - he could've got kids' books from trash cans for WB to LEARN. OK. And BF would stay true to his heritage by grunting. It's simple nature and nurture - that's a fact. True story.
marcusbondi 1 year ago
@marcusbondi
Bigfoot hates criminals, as we all do. Nobody doughts that! The video is authentic and nobody casn argure that Bigfoot is real. There is one thing that is un-clear. Where does Wildboy get a perm? The government is lieing to us! Open your eyes Marcus!
000MrAnderson 1 year ago
@000MrAnderson
I said perm, as in permanent hairdo.
000MrAnderson 1 year ago
@000MrAnderson -I see! You are right again, but, pure common sense tells us it's an authentic video of the real Bigfoot; we are just debating over aspects of the story line! Of course, everyone knows that to adapt it for prime time TV, Bigfoot and Wb had to 'act it up' a bit just to flesh out the story for younger viewers (and some adults). IMHO - BigFoot did a remakable acting job considering he had very little formal acting training and grew up in a forest and stuff.
marcusbondi 1 year ago
@marcusbondi
marcusbondi, you have missed the point! Bigfoot was a blood thirsty ape/man until he raised Wildboy. Then and only then they became teacher and mentor. Bigfoot was a father figure to Wildboy. I don't think BF & WB ever "acted it up." It was all real. WE NEED MORE BIGFOOTS!
000MrAnderson 1 year ago
@marcusbondi
After watching the Little League World Series, I have changed my mind. Bigfoot was a terrible dad. Why didn't he coach a little league team? WB could have been a good shortstop with a good bat. BF got lazy. IMHO.
