Read more about Shrimpenstein here!  I
remember this show quite well. There were a few other characters besides
von Schtick and Shrimpenstein. There was Wilfred the Weenie Wolf, who
did the spots for Hormel Wieners, one of the shows sponsors.
Wilfred was just a hand, wearing a rubber werewolf glove. He lived in a box, like Thing from 'The Addams Family.' Then there were the Tijuana Bats, bat puppets that lip-synched current popular songs. I also remember a character similar White Fang from the Soupy Sales Show (furry arm, off-camera voice) but can't remember the name. - yours sincerely, Tabonga The
Shrimpenstein series with Gene Moss and Jim Thurman had that
zany little puppet that was built by renowned artiste Wah Chang.
Chang was responsible for all sorts of stuff, not the least, the props, weapons, etc in the original Star Trek. Moss and Thurmon later went on (well, not much later) to do a short - lived Johnny Carson-esque talk show on KHJ as well as writing AND voicing the cult favorite Roger Ramjet. - Robert Hill Read more about Shrimpenstein here!
