Last year, Sid & Marty Krofft announced a partnership with Cineverse to stream all the Krofft content on their platform. Since then, there hasn't been any updates on the time frame. Facebook postings do indicate that the original tapes for all Krofft properties are being "remastered". Earlier this week on Facebook, someone posted that the Krofft Supershow is currently available on Frndly TV (frndlytv.com).

Using a trial subscription, I was able to watch all 16 episodes of season one (Season two is also available, but is very inferior in my opinion). Season three featuring the Bay City Rollers was unavailable. All of the content from the main segments are there (Wonderbug, Dr. Shrinker and most importantly Electra Woman and Dyna Girl). There are segments featuring Kaptain Kool and the Kongs in their "glam band glory." There are noticeable defects in certain spots of the program, so I don't believe these are the remastered version promised last year. The shows are also missing most of the bumpers for what is coming up next in the show.

There is about 5 minutes of additional footage in the Krofft Supershow edits than what has been available on past releases and when the segments were shown as standalone episodes. Most of that is made up of the "last week's recap" at the start of 2nd half; however, there are other scenes that cut throughout the episodes. An example being that every episode features an "Electra Change" sequence, but that only appears in three episodes of the syndicated version. In those episodes there are other scenes that were cut from the syndicated version, such as above from the first episode "The Sorcerer's Golden Trick" In this scene the heroines confront the Sorcerer and Miss Dazzle upon entry to Ft Knox (after entering through the access grate shown in the show opening). The Sorcerer uses a "card trick" of disappearing through a door behind the giant card.
