Bigfoot and Wildboy (1977– )
10/10
A Childhood Favorite
27 December 2023
I loved this show growing up...geared toward children this cute show is not suppose to appeal to Adults...but even now being 50+ I still get a kick out of watching this fun blast from the past.

From eye candy Joseph Butcher who played Wildboy to.... aww heck who cares about the rest of the cast.. 🤷 I tuned in for Wildboy..🤗.

Anyone who confuses Joey's true age 20 about to turn 21 with WildBoy's age (15 in season 1 & 16 in season 2) must also believe Ray Young was a 200 year old man playing a 200 year old BigFoot...wow, an awful lot of Einsteins out there! People please, if you don't know what you're talking about pinch those lippers shut! IMHO

Set in the Pacific North West...Bigfoot comes across a small child alone, lost in the woods..taking in the tiny orphan WB was 7..he took care of him for 8 years...he raises him calling him WildBoy..apparently, Helpers taught WB to read & write, also to drive...BF taught WB his lost language, WB in return teaches BF English...Duh!

Don't recall if Wildboy ever hit puberty...I do remember a few jealousy scenes involving Susie, Cindy & a few guest stars...but no romance...again TV show was aimed at children..

Joseph Butcher was fun to watch..the episodes kept kids entertained...wonder what Mr. Butcher is up to now??
