Godzila

Up from the depths, 30 stories high - breathing fire - his head in the sky .... a Monster ! Godzilla ! and Godzucki ....
Godzucki was to Godzilla what Scrappy (Dappy) Doo was to Scooby Doo - a pathetic irritation introduced to widen the appeal to 'the kids'

In the late 70s, these overgrown lizards heped out Captain Majors, Professor Darian, Brock and Pete - the crew of the 'Calico' who were often in situations where a being able to call up a monster from the sea was quite handy. Godzilla was remade again later in the 90's, with a totally different attitude, and a distinct lack of comedy sidekick. Whereas the 70s Godzilla would have run away and cried if you shouted at it, the 90's one would have eaten you without even thinking twice about it !
