The Kids from C.A.P.E.R.

I’ve been thinking about “The Kids from C.A.P.E.R.” lately. It was this short-lived children’s show from the 70s that had some off-the-wall Monkee-esque humor. This was no coincidence, as it turns out. Don Kirshner was involved in the production of both shows.

I read a “The Kids from C.A.P.E.R.” fanfic story recently. Like most fanfic, it was pretty bad. The story introduced a team of female C.A.P.E.R. kids, but these ladies served no useful purpose in the story. The whole story read like somebody’s daydream fantasies committed to paper, with no coherence or overall purpose.

I would love to see this show on DVD, though.
