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

Eddie Christie Was it a drug trip? Who knows, however, I do know that I was "hooked" on it as a kid. The story lines intermixed with music and comedy are fun loving cleverly disguised morality stories and 70's ideology directed towards children and acted in a BIG fashion – very suitable for children – which can seem kinda tripy to adults. The music was a wonderful mix between typical 70's sounds and airy Celtic-like folk music. I certainly can look back and know that a lot of my morals and ideas of how to treat other human beings came from the messages presented in the show. However, as an adult I also see some odd behavior – the character of Harmony is often making fun of others, how ironic. Even though "modern" children might not understand the concepts behind the "bad" characters (along with LP's and record players, lol), I would still highly recommend this for children as well as a fun reminder to adults looking for find or relive their past. Plus the songs are still fun to hear and sing.

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.

timmauk I loved this live action kids show from the early '70's. In the vein of H R Puffnstuff and Lidsville. It stars a group of young people who are silly bugs, flying around singing silly songs and have silly little adventures. They are chased by the campy and over madeup Martha Raye who lives in a big jukebox.I fear that the kids of today will never get the chance to view this wonder of wonders, but if you get the chance, see it. If only to see what Children's TV was like back then.....
