The Meyers Manx 2.0 dune buggy morphs a '60s icon into a modern electric car that trades its predecessor's gas-fed VW engine for a battery-electric powertrain.
The show was composed of several live-action segments, hosted by "Kaptain Kool and the Kongs", a rock band created for the series. The season-one (1976–1977) segments were Dr. Shrinker, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, and Wonderbug, plus reruns of The Lost Saucer for the first half of the season (they were dropped when the show was cut from 90 minutes to one hour).
