The Kids From C.A.P.E.R. was a Saturday morning live-action television comedy series which aired on NBC from September 11, 1976, to November 20, 1976, and reran from April 9, 1977, to September 3, 1977. The show's title is clearly derived from the 60s spy-fi show The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and parodied different pop culture shows of the day, including The Monkees, Six Million Dollar Man, Shazam!, Scooby-Doo Where Are You! and their numerous imitators up to that point. All 13 episodes of the series were produced and directed by Stanley Z. Cherry; among the executive producers was Don Kirshner. Both Cherry and Kirshner had previously worked on The Monkees, Cherry having written the episode "Some Like It Lukewarm" in 1968, while Kirshner was the original musical supervisor for The Monkees until early 1967.
