The Kids from C.A.P.E.R. (1976–1977)
7/10
They're the kids, the kids, the kids from C.A.P.E.R.
8 January 2010
The Kids from CAPER, like "Hot Hero Sandwich," was a Saturday morning, live-action show with a pre-fab rock band. Definitely silly and a bit more fun than Hot Hero, neither, however, lasted over a season. However, I eagerly awaited for both every week the short seasons they were on the air. Although this show was only a brief blip on the radar screen of cultural ephemera, it's a good example of how industry pre-fabbed and pre-packaged teen bands for TV somehow continue to maintain a tenuous hold on their aging ex-audience!

As a 45 year old man who hasn't seen the show since it's first run, I find it funny how myself and others still recall the actors, songs, and even some story lines. It's nice to know that others of my generation still remember, "...the kids, the kids, the kids from C.A.P.E.R.!"
