Why on earth did I ever like the show Electra Woman and Dyna Girl when I was a kid? I mean I know kids have something like zero taste in this kind of stuff, but WOW that show was bad. Seriously, seriously, seriously bad. TV Land was running episodes, so naturally I TiVo'd it in a fit of nostalgia.

It's obviously supposed to be a female version of the old Adam West Batman series. Batman was campy and self-effacing, so it actually holds up pretty well. I mean, I liked it as a kid a whole bunch too, and I liked it for very different qualities than what I might see in it now. Still, on either level it works pretty well.

Electra Woman and Dyna Girl though feels like really bad fan fiction of Batman, like the star wars kid who was making the internet rounds last year only not as funny/good. It's like what you might get if you taped a bunch of kids on the playground acting out super hero rolls -- except here the writing is worse.

I do dig the secret door though. I always wanted my own secret door that led to my own secret lair.
