Electra Woman and Dyna Girl was a Sid and Marty Krofft live action television series from 1976. The series lasted 16 weeks as part of the umbrella series The Krofft Supershow. When later syndicated in the package Krofft Super Stars, and released on home video, the 16 segments, which were each about 12 minutes long, were combined into eight episodes.
The program playfully (but deliberately) lampooned the superhero combo of Batman and Robin, taking many of its cues from the earlier Batman television series. EW&DG followed the crime-fighting exploits of female caped crusader Electra Woman, and her teen sidekick Dyna Girl. In each episode, the duo (who worked in their off-time as reporters for a magazine) would don skintight spandex (in a bright flash of light called a "Electra-Change") hop in the Electracar, and use an impressive array of technically advanced gadgets to thwart an eclectic collection of supervillains. They are assisted by Frank Heflin, a scientist who stays at their "ElectraBase" while keeping in continual contact with the pair through their "ElectraComs".
