Freddie Freiberger

Called “The Serial Killer”

But I really ought to urge’ya

To rethink your position

On Freddie Freiberger

Freddie lifted a finger

And a favourite show died

Ever since the end of Trek

He’s not had an easy ride

Killed off those favourites

That’s what the fanbase said

He’s got an awful reputation

Not helped by being dead

Freddie Freiberger

The televisual cheeseburger

A Producer on the verge’a

Getting’ away with moida

One Freddie Freiberger

Freddie changed the spellings

On the Moon’s lost Alpha Base

Got rid of fan favourites

Who vanished without trace

With a brief to seek appeal

From those fickle Americans

He gutted what was popular

With the show’s most loyal fans

Freddie Freiberger

Half the budget, double the fun

Bung in an alien regular

Just don’t take him to Luton

That Freddie Freiberger

Freddie got his hands on

The Six Million Dollar Man

Producing its final year

Starts looking like a master plan

Seemed like every show he handled

Turned into a great big botch

Even Josie and the Pussycats

Got cancelled on his watch

 Freddie Frieberger

Freddie Freiberger

The world may have been unfair

To direct at him their anger

He was tearing out his hair

Poor Freddie Freiberger

Freddie grabbed these franchises

That were already in decline
Churning out his weekly miracles
Producing shows adequate (but fine)
Delivering any completed programme’s
An achievement bulletproof

When the budget’s crumbling
Or inflation’s through the roof

Called “The Serial Killer”

But I really ought to urge’ya
