What red blooded male that walks (upright) among us could possibly look upon Diana Rigg in her “Avengers” jumpsuits and not drool in comatose delight? What boy, soon to become a man, could espy Patrick MacNee and not see his entire future flash before his eyes? I am always able to stump audiences everywhere when I play “Name that tune” and perform the Avengers’ theme song and interludes on the flute. It’s time to establish a Camp TV thread just for this sort of warped reminiscing (and so you shall!). I always wanted to see what was behind all of those zippers on Emma Peel’s outfits. And finally; “The Scavengers” starring Bananna Peel and Faithful Steed, (my own junior high school satire on the Avengers.)
Batman and Super Guy need not apply… Try instead, the more modern, “Chef!” British cooking comedy.
Don’t know if you are shooting for memories of Camp shows themselves or women on the show we remember so I will give both.
My first one is “Lost In Space”. Back in the 60’s when I lived in Iowa, it was on every Wednesday night at 7:00, opposite the first episode of “Batman” (Batman was a 2 parter on Wednesday and Thursday nights back then). It was my favorite show. Penny was so damn cute.
Another master of camp was “Super Dave Osborne”, on HBO or Showtime I think. It was a great show that always caused me to split my gut laughing. It set a new standard in pulling the audiences’ leg.
Then there was JoAnne Liebler on “Hometime” in 1990-1992. She was so hot then. She has her own show now but she isn’t as delicious as when she was on “Hometime”.
Also really like a show on HBO back in 1988 preceding the elections called “Tanner '88” that really poked fun of the political process in a very entertaining way.
