Synopsis

The Bugaloos was an American children's television series, produced by brothers Sidney Krofft and Martin Krofft, that aired on NBC on Saturday mornings from 1970 to 1972. The show featured a musical group composed of four British-accented teenagers, who lived in fictional Tranquility Forest. They wore insect-themed outfits with antennae and wings which allowed them to fly, though on occasion, they were shown flying on surfboards. They were constantly beset by the evil machinations of Benita Bizarre, played by comedienne Martha Raye. Bizarre, being untalented and ugly herself, was covetous of the Bugaloos' musical prowess.

meisterburger23 This is probably one of my favorite Krofft shows besides Land of the Lost, Hr Pufnstuf and Lidsville.The Bugaloos is about four British fairies who look like insects, Joy played by Caroline Ellis is a beautiful butterfly, I.Q. played by John Mcindoe a grasshopper, Courage played by John Philpott a ladybug and Harmony played by Wayne Laryea. They live in this forest called Tranquility with a firefly played by the late Billy Barty and voiced by the late Walker Edmiston. Their enemy is a rock witch named Benita Bizarre played by the late Martha Raye, a sneaky devil who was probably borrowed from Cruella De Vil because of her obsession with feathers. There were plenty of other characters like Peter Platter and a stupid messaging birdAfter 2 seasons one in reruns, the actors who played the Bugaloos returned to England with hopes of coming back to film a movie with Colombia Pictures. Sadly it didn't happen the the cast moved on with their livesBut do you know today, there is a HUGE fan base for this show. There are at least three Bugaloos fan sites Bill Ung's popular Tranquility Forest. Really recommended by the way along with a Facebook page. The cast still appreciate folks memories of the show and occasionally pop on the websiteNow I can go on and on about how great this show is, but I won't, I was born in the early 90's but I grew up watching The Bugaloos and other Krofft shows. I will say I am impressed with the music they do have lovely voices, Sparky was the character i related the most. I had a crush on the guys and Joy was the big sister every kid wanted.My father watched this show and I am proud to say hopefully someday my own children will watch the show

pepsiapril My sister and i watched this show and our kids grew up being called Bugaloos.. we loved this show when we were kids. We were 9 and 10 when this show was on the air. And were disappointed when it went off the air. I didn't know it is available on DVD, I will have to go to Amazon and buy s couple copies so we can give them to our grandkids. But I am wondering about the cast...We haven't seenit since it was on, but our memories would swear it wasPhillis Diller who played the part where it says Martha Raye. Are we wrong or is this a mistake? I'veeven talked to her and she said she is sure it was Phillis Diller too.

michelle-264 I loved this program as a child. It made you believe you could fly or that it would be nice to fly. I must have watched reruns since it came out in 1970. I probably watched it in 1974 or 75. They had great little songs and they were British, which was interesting in itself for me. I loved the girl's hairdo and wanted mine just like that. These old shows should be brought back. I think they were great for kids. I would love to sit and watch this myself. Many of the kids shows should be brought back just like there are reruns for the older sitcoms on TVLand or Nick at Nite. Romper room was another great show during this time. I had no idea that Sid and Marty Kroft produced the Bugaloos.

Brian Washington This follow-up to H.R. Pufnstuf, is about four humanoid insects and their battles with a wigged out witch and wannabe singing star named Benita Bizarre. This show was even more wild than Pufnstuf due to the fact that Ms. Bizarre lived in a jukebox, had a nazi-like rat for a chauffer and two of her henchmen were a pair of robots named Woofer and Tweeter (just like speakers). The Bugaloos lived in a forest with their firefly buddy Sparky and their neighbors were a bunch of talking grapes. This show was even more of an LSD trip than Pufnstuff but not as trippy as Lidsville. The Kroffts said they never did drugs, but with shows like this, you gotta wonder.
