Comments left:	From the Saturday morning cartoon vault, TV commercial with the Honey Comb Hideout gang indulging in a Spooky Story flex disc on the back of cereal boxes. This aired on the "Krofft Superstar Hour" over NBC (9/30/78). In the 1978 fall season, the brothers Krofft replaced Kaptain Kool (Michael Lembeck) and the Kongs with the Scottish pop group, Bay City Rollers, as hosts. Kindly Sid and Marty found the BCRs to be boorish and less than cooperative. Segments of "Wonderbug, Bigfoot/Wildboy," and "Magic Mongo" returned from the previous season on ABC. Ratings for the first ten weeks were lousy. Instead of bringing back Kaptain Kool, the Kroffts allowed NBC to cut the show from 60 to 30 minutes, retitling it, "Bay City Rollers Show," with the other elementary segments omitted. The BCRs lost their audience (no hit songs in two years), and the show was cancelled before 1979 began. The network replaced it with "Daffy Duck/Speedy Gonzales" cartoons, which were butchered of any "violent" content. Saturday mornings were not so fun in those days, but worse things were yet to come.
