The first episode of "The Krofft Superstar Hour" which aired on 9/9/78.
It features The Bay City Rollers performing as well as Kaptain Kool and the Kongs, and the skits "Horror Hotel" and "The Lost Island" which feature characters from other Krofft media like Witchiepoo and Pufnstuf from H.R Pufnstuf, HooDoo and Weenie from Lidsville, Sigmund from Sigmund and the Seamonsters and, of course, Enik and the Sleestak from Land of the Lost.
This is truly a piece of history, especially as this particular version of the Krofft's Varity show was the second iteration (after "The Krofft Supershow" ) and only lasted in this format for 8 episodes before moving onto the third iteration named "The Bay City Rollers Show".
This same episode was already uploaded to youtube by The Media Hoarder a few months back, but not in this high of quality, so I figure I should still post.
Sadly (to my knowledge) this is the only full episode that is not lost to time, or at the least the only episode to be uploaded to the internet. This show has also never received a proper home media release of any kind so the likelihood of collectors having other episodes is slim.
If anyone does have any other full episodes of the Krofft Superstar Hour that feature the segments (Especially The Lost Island) Please get into contact with me at:
