Saturtainment: Sha Na Na mocks superheroes, and welcomes James Darren (1980)

 From season 3 of Sha Na Na:

The show starts with Bowzer (Jon Bauman) as "Super Greaser", one of the silliest hero parodies in the history of ever. Unfortunately for Bowzer, this idea was about 10 years late. Jane Dulo plays the "hero"'s mom, which suggests Captain Nice might've been the inspiration.

Special guest James Darren (ex-The Time Tunnel) joins the show in time for an awards show parody. Donny York does a solid cover of "Rhythm of The Rain", finishing with Dulo, in her normal role as the neighbor in the window, providing the "rain", but there's a reason the guys had all those umbrellas.


In memory of James Darren, 88, who passed away over Labor Day weekend. Rest in peace.
