Sigmund Ooze -
Timid sea monster who appeared on the live-action children
series SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS/NBC/1973-75. Disowned by his
fellow family of sea monsters because he didn't have the heart
to scare humans, Sigmund Ooze (Billy Barty in a sea monster
costume) wandered away from his home at Dead Man's Point along
the beaches of southern California until he was befriended by
the Stuart brothers, Johnny (Johnny Whitaker) and Scott (Scott
Kolden). His new human friends let Sigmund live in their
secret seaside clubhouse
Local ocean resident,
Sheldon the Sea Genie also befriends Sigmund and help him with
his troubles which includes Sigmund's family who want to capture
him and force him to be mean. Occasionally, Sheldon's nephew, Shelby will visit and get involved in the action.

Sigmunds' family - Big Daddy, Burp and Slurp

Sigmund's Mom, a.k.a. "Big Momma"
Theme Song Lyrics
(from Second Season)
|
Singer: |
Let me tell
you a tale, a very scary tale
About two boys who were surfing one day
On a very weird beach around Dead Man's Point
Where there are haunted sea caves they say
And strange sea monsters have been sighted there.
If you're traveling in the area Beware! Beware, Beware! Beware! |
|
Big Daddy: |
"Sigmund
you're a rotten sea monster" |
|
Sweet Momma:
|
"You're a
disgrace to the family" |
|
Slurp: |
"Yea, go out
and scare a human or you're through!" |
|
Singer: |
Meanwhile, back
on the beach,
Johnny and Scott are combing the rocks
Unaware that behind them Sigmund lurked
Prepared to give them a shock |
|
Sigmund: |
"BOO!" |
|
Singer: |
In total surprise the boys eyed this
blob - what can it be? And then it groaned and moved and lo! It
was a monster from the sea
Now Sigmund the sea monster and Johnny and Scott are friends.
The finest friends there ever could be in the land or on the
sea.
Now Sigmund the sea monster and
Johnny and Scott are friends. The finest friends there ever
could be in the land or on the sea
