Song Lyrics:

What a sight
In a laboratory, late one night
There began the story
Lightning flashed, and something missed
A poor old crazy scientist
Dropped a bag of jelly beans
Into his Frankenstein machine

And Shrimpenstein
Was created in just half the time
That it takes to make a Frankenstein
And so you see
He's half the size of you and me
And though he'll try, he can't be mean
He's just a little walking jelly bean.

Shrimpenstein! (hackinbush)

	fiogf49gjkf0d Shrimpenstein! was an LA kid's show from 1965-67, starring Gene Moss as mad scientist Dr. Rudolph von Schtick, where along with Jim Thurman they did thier puppeteering best to keep kids in the mid-1960's entertained. KHJ-Channel 9 was his station home and was connected to KHJ Boss Radio. From 1965-1967, Monday through Friday at 5:00pm the show would transform every kid's living room into a mad monster castle, complete with an iron maiden for a front door. It was a live show with Moss playing a character not unlike what Boris Karloff would have done if he'd had Soupy Sales's job. The show was clever enough for adult viewers while never losing sight of the children whom watched. (Jim Thurman went on to do more children's television after the show ended). In between skits, Gene showed cartoons, and made fun of the show's sponsors [in the video found at the link below, you can hear Dr. VonSchtick refer to the McDonald's fallen arches]. The was on Channel 9 here opposite Roger Ramjet [another Moss & Thurman creation on Channel 11. One afternoon, a Shrimpenstein sketch became hopelessly fouled-up. A prop didn't work and so they had no ending. Moss sighed, turned to camera and said, "While we try to fix this, kids, why don't you turn over to Channel 11 and watch Roger Ramjet? It's a lot funnier than anything you're going to see here today.") You could join the Shrimpenstein fan club and gather up such cool things as Monster Green Stamps (stickers, perhaps they should have been called "Von Schtick-ers")? A little more about Shrimpy can be found at www.tvparty.com/lostshrimp.html There's even a 3-minute slice of video!
