Trivia:

Elektro was constructed by the Westinghouse Appliance Division of Mansfield Ohio and only 1 copy was made. The construction of Elektro began in 1937 and was put on public display in early 1939 just before being sent to the New York World's Fair of 1939. He was modified for the movie sex kittens, filling in the circle and putting in the square on his chest for the speaker. I am the Director of the Mansfield Memorial Museum and I have the only and original Elektro in the museum.

Quotes:

Dr. West: ...which confirms the theory of relativity.

Like watching Judge Judy do aerobics in a thong

There are no actual decapitations, cattle mutilation, desecration of houses of worship, or spurting arteries in Sex Kittens Go To College. Within those limits, this is ghastly beyond anything you can imagine.

Imagine Mamie van Doren as an ex-stripper with an IQ of 268 and twelve college degrees - no, thirteen, hired as a college professor. Imagine Jackie Coogan as a blustering oilman doing a 45-minute W.C. Fields impression. Imagine Martin Milner out-geeking Eddie Deezen, a twelve-foot robot named Thinko that handicaps horse races, a chimp in golf pants. Imagine the most credible and disciplined performance in the film being turned in by Louis Nye. Imagine Vampira so hagged out you'd flee to the arms of Nancy Kulp...Brigitte Bardot's little sister as an exchange student...Conway Twitty...fire engine...funny gangsters... Are your sides aching with laughter yet?

Terrifyingly awful. The only saving grace is that neither Woody Woodbury nor Paul Anka makes a guest appearance.
