History Series / ElectraWomanAndDynaGirl

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The second time the Empress of Evil shows up, she [[spoiler: kills the thoroughly unsympathetic Major Vaunt.]]

Creator/DeidreHall and Judy Strangis play Lori and Judy, who work as writers for ''Newsmaker'' magazine, but when trouble calls, they become Electra Woman and Dyna Girl! Electra Woman and Dyna Girl use the latest in technological gadgetry, such as the [=CrimeScope=] supercomputer and their wrist-mounted [=ElectraComps=] (supplied by their resident tech-wizard Frank, played by Norman Alden), along with their bravery and wits, to solve crimes and capture the various villains they encounter, including the Sorcerer, Glitter Rock, Ali Baba, Spider Lady, the Pharaoh, and the Empress of Evil.

* ToTheBatNoun: The heroines used the [=ElectraCar=], among other vehicles.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Frank speaks in monotone, has problems correctly identifying emotions, gets distracted by the weirdest things, and is apparently still mourning a frisbee he lost a child and never found again.

* OnlySaneWoman: Dyna Girl, with a side-order of GrumpyBear. She's the only person in the series who at least tries to be level-headed and realistic about, well, anything, which means she's often frustrated with everyone else.

In 2016, a reboot happened in the form of a webseries (later released as a DVD movie), starring Website/YouTube comediennes Creator/GraceHelbig and [[WebVideo/MyDrunkKitchen Hannah Hart]] in the titular roles. This series [[InNameOnly ditches almost everything about the original show]] and instead presents an AffectionateParody of modern superhero movies. Here, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl as struggling smalltown superheroines InAWorld where, after an event called "the Shadow War", there are no more supervillains and superheroes are little more than glorified celebrities.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Some of the superheroes in this show have less-than-impressive powers; the most obvious one being Perennial Man, who has one of the most impressive-looking costumes of them all but whose sole power is talking to plants. Not ''controlling'' plants, just able to understand what they say. Then again, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl have no superpowers at all, and they are by far the most effective heroes in the series.

* AmbiguouslyGay: There are some hints that Dyna Girl might be a lesbian, but nothing's ever stated, as she has a butch style and is hinted may feel more than platonically for her friend Electra Woman.

* AmbiguouslyGay: There are some hints that Dyna Girl might be a lesbian, but nothing's ever stated.
* BadassInDistress: Happens ''twice'' to Dyna Girl.

* InstantWebHit: The reason for Electra Woman and Dyna Girl's sudden success in-universe; they post a video of themselves stopping a pair of thieves online, and in a worls where superheroes only rarely actually stop crime, they become mega-celebrities overnight.

* KickTheDog: The first time the Empress of Evil shows up, she steps up to an old homeless man, steals all the change people have given him, and tosses away the shopping cart with all his possessions in.

* SeinfeldianConversation: Electra Woman and Dyna Girl are prone to these in this series.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Dyna Girl is getting more and more diisgruntled with their big-time hero job, but the last straw is being asked to star in an exploitative commercial where she's supposed to strip down to a bikini -- see below.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: The commercial that Electra Woman and Dyna Girl are clearly meant to feature sexier versions of their costumes. When we see the storyboard for the commercial, the heroines are drawn with bared midriffs and in Electra Woman's case, deep cleavage -- and the commercial is meant to have them strip further down to bikinis.

The only show from Creator/SidAndMartyKrofftProductions with two female leads, ''Electra Woman and Dyna Girl'' features two magazine reporters who are secretly superheroines. It was part of ''The Krofft Supershow'' on Creator/{{ABC}} in 1976/77. A fairly open ripoff and/or parody of ''Series/{{Batman}}'', the series consisted of eight stories, each divided into two 15-minute segments.

* ClarkKenting: The duo do not wear masks, but just change their hairstyles.

* EvilSorcerer: The Sorcerer and Ali Baba. [[spoiler:Well, sort of. The former is a stage magician who relies on illusions and devices for his "magic", while the latter is just a normal criminal whose sidekick pretends to be a genie to scare people. Neither can do actual magic, though the Sorcerer does steal a magic mirror in his second appearance.]] To a lesser extent, the Pharaoh, who doesn't himself have magic powers but uses magic Egyptian artifacts in his schemes.

* MissionControl: Professor Frank Heflin. He's an electronic genius who created all of the duo's gadgets, and often updates them with new functions. Sometimes those new functions actually last for more than one episode, like the [=ElectraBeam=], which becomes a regular part of their arsenal after being added in the first episode, "The Sorcerer's Golden Trick". Most are just one-episode tricks that are never seen or mentioned again, like the [=ElectraSplit=], the Electra-X, or the [=ElectraStrobe=].

* MakingUseOfTheTwin: Deidre Hall's twin sister Andrea Hall (credited as Andrea Lovell) played an evil duplicate of Electra Woman in "The Spider Lady".

* FollowTheLeader: As noted, the show was pretty much "[[Series/{{Batman}} 60's Batman]] with female leads."
** And the theme has sort of a WonderWoman-type vibe to it.

When we see the storyboard for the commercial, the heroines are drawn with bared midriffs and in Electra Woman's case, deep cleavage -- and the commercial is meant to have them strip further down to bikinis.

* MythologyGag: During the final confrontation with the Empress of Evil, Dyna Girl says that they're "electra-screwed," referencing her original counterpart's CatchPhrase.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Bernice had not heard of the Shadow War before Electra Woman and Dyna Girl told her about it. Apparently, when she later got her superpowers, she remembered that story and decided that rather than become another run-of-the-mill superhero, she'd become the world's only supervillain.]]

* SpandexLatexOrLeather: In the beginning of the series, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl wear spandex suits almost (but not completely) itentical to the suits they wore in the original show. When they hit it big they upgrade to more modern-looking and practical suits of leather and latex, though Dyna Girl does comment that she liked their original look.
