The Bugaloos - Firefly, Light My Fire | Full Episode 1 | Sid & Marty Krofft Pictures

[@john.brown.]

Sid and marty had the best drugs imaginable to create these crazy shows.

[@kyliethelittlecouragegirl94]

Dude they said they were never on drugs while making any of their shows but, you know what believe what you want I’m not gonna stop you.

[@brianfuller757]

Let's be real. Martha Raye was a legend and Caroline Ellis was adorable.

[@garthdavis4320]

This was the trippiest series I've ever watched.

[@sirscott51]

I loved the shows from SID AND MARTY CROFT . The Bugaloos , H.R. puff and Stuff , sigmund the Sea monster , the land of the lost ( my favorite ) Electro woman and DYNA Girl , the lost saucer , Wonder Bug ( another favorite ) Magic Mongo , Dr . Shrinker , Far out space nuts , LIDSVILLE , they were all great shows . I’d love to see them back on tv again … that would be awesome .

[@droberts1664]

all those were mine too. I liked Sigmond and the Sea Monsters

[@willcato4638]

I totally agree I use to watch all of those shows bring back memories 😁

[@Damone7653]

​@@willcato4638 Sigmund and The Semen were pretty good.

[@RowdyLowdy]

Sigmund was one of my fav shows, this one too. Land of the Lost was so good. Sid and Marty were geniuses.

[@Steveshappylittletrees]

Wonder Bug was a ripoff of speed buggy

[@Gonzo6389]

I was a kid then, this show and HR Puff n Stuff...eating captain crunch on saturday mornings...was the best..

[@shawneequawyche409]

Want to get more in touch with our Earth? Listen ti the Bugaloos sing Senses of Our World. My Grandpuppy & l love to listen to it before we go to 😴 Sleep. So Soothing & so True🌍

[@ciabattatom521]

After almost 60 years, Cap'n Crunch is still my drug of choice.

[@bigjohnson7415]

Back when cartoons only came on on Saturday morning!

[@SchardtCinematic]

The 60s and 70s were a very special time growing up as a child for Saturday morning TV shows. I was born in 71. But saw many reruns of shows from the 60s on reruns.

[@teptime]

If I had my old BUGALOOS lunchbox today, I'd totally carry it to work.

[@RonaldWilliams-qh7zc]

Hahaha yeah I like that I grew up on this show in the 70s actually I really forgot about this show I just discovered it today when it popped up on my recommendation I'm like damn how did I forget about this lol

[@cherylmurray8832]

I had a metal Bugaloos lunchbox in elementary school too! It had a thermos also. That was in the very early ‘70s.

[@jeremylacy96]

Go buy one. They are out there.

[@reaganenglish]

I really liked the bugaloos on Saturday mornings !!!

[@RandyTheWildHorse]

I had a very miserable childhood and The Bugaloos made me very happy and The Senses of Our World is a magical song by Caroline Ellis and I had nice dreams about her as a kid. 9:05

[@bfinera]

Good stuff friend

[@markrichardson1657]

it really was a program that made you feel good about life.

[@joeladams2540]

It was land of the lost and wonder buggy for me

[@reddahlia35]

The Bugaloos was the best. I love when they sing and fly. This show brings back memories! Benita Bizarre was a trip! lol😅😅😅😅😅

[@johnetheridge5833]

I’m 60 years old and this was one of my childhood favorites

[@kyliethelittlecouragegirl94]

I’m 22 and I discovered this from a different video talking about this and other Krofft shows, this one’s my fav. So much so that I went all my way to get a rare DVD of the show off EBay just to watch the whole show. Totally worth it. 😎

[@williamsiyanko4631]

This brings me back to my childhood. Me and my brother used to watch this show. It’s a classic.

[@kymj5771]

I loved this show as a small child. My mum made me a waistcoat with a pair of wings attached to the back. I spent hours and hours jumping off our front porch trying to fly!

[@nordicaryanAntiZog]

i liked it as a large child

[@vegassims7]

Same here. lol

[@BobCrabtree-ev4rz]

But did you ever succeed?

[@LG123ABC]

This show is one of my earliest childhood memories from Saturday morning programs.

[@dan_hitchman007]

I remember watching this show as a little kid. The Bugaloo played by Caroline Ellis was sort of my first experience with crushing on a cute girl.

[@johnpjones182]

A sweet girl in a tutu!

[@pigoff123]

The 60s an 70s had the best kid shows.

[@johnriesinger]

This show used to scare the crap out of me. 50 years later it still does lol.

[@SchardtCinematic]

These shows never scared me as a kid. Except for the Sleestack on Land of the Lost. They were scary creatures.

[@wallykimball8829]

I agree some of the puppets are creepy. And the one member of the group who's like a muppet-human hybrid. Yikes! And it's a Ginger. I bet they're all made in some underground lab.

[@markbarret6836]

@@SchardtCinematic I've heard that many times before. The kids loved the dinosaurs but were scared by the Sleestak.

[@SchardtCinematic]

@@markbarret6836 the Sleestack were the scariest part. I'd jump a little when they popped out of a cave and thier hissing sound started

This is what you see after eating brown acid.

[@monty3534]

I remember watching this show as a little kid. Martha Raye always made me laugh. I watched the show simply for her. 😂😂

[@tammylewis2408]

I have the show on DVD. Loved Martha Raye. She was a very funny villain🤣🤣🤣🤣. I love her singing the supersonic sneakers, she should have recorded the song in its entirety. Around the time she was on the show, she was entertaining the troops in Vietnam, even visiting the injured soldiers at the base hospitals. If I recall she was buried with full military honors for her service, and was a recipient of the Jean Hersholt humanitarian award at the Oscars. Later she was on the Polident commercials as the "fresh mouth" and played Carrie Sharples (Mel's mom) on Alice.

[@FaytLinegod]

Martha Raye had so much talent. A gifted entertainer.

[@sunnyzengaravito4930]

She was Amazing😁❤

[@Nick-ty9us]

She was in some Bing Crosby movies in the 1930s

[@horseshoe2blah201]

I have a special place in my heart for accomplished actors that do movies or TV shows for children. They are creating magic.

I hear you.

[@LexIsNotASimp]

I'm a big fan of old kids shows! (I'm a teen) and I found this out a few days ago when I was looking at old shows to discuss about! I love it!! It fits the 70s vibe, it is very cool, and it isn't lame... 9.1/10

[@RonaldWilliams-qh7zc]

Yeah I remember when this show came out I was a kid though maybe about 4 or 5 years old in the seventies when this first came out and I actually forgot about it I just rediscovered it today when it popped up on my recommendation and I'm like damn I remember this show wow you just don't know the 70s to me was the best decade of all time I really wish I could go back

I had a crush on Joy as a little boy in the 70s. She's so pretty.

[@KenCostlow]

That makes two of us....lol

[@crapple009]

Please post more episodes! I love to get up in the morning and watch the Bugaloos but I can barely ever find any episodes anymore, thank you for posting your shows!

Brunettes are still a major weakness of mine to this day.

[@Some_One_One]

If this only aired between 1970-1972 then how do I remember having the hots for Joy when I was only two in 1972? (Asking for a friend)

[@vegassims7]

When I was a kid I loved this show because I wanted to fly so badly. We would tape paper wings to our backs and pretend we could fly. lol

[@wallykimball8829]

Whoa! I had completely forgotten this! Freaky stuff. All I could remember was Martha Raye as that freaky whatever. ( edit)Sweet Jesus, I'd forgotten how bizarre this show was. Thanks for posting!

I like how its supposed to be in the last British colony, and they teach you to understand Cockney slang

[@DRIVEIN101]

I was introduced to "The Bugaloos" on Nick At Nite's Puffapalooza marathon in 1996. Of course, I instantly fell in love with Caroline Ellis. I must have played "The Senses Of Our World" at least a hundred times on the VCR after the marathon ended.

[@benitasteffan3685]

How can I forget this show ! 😂. I gained the nickname Benita Bizarre! Lucky me, my name was Benita. 🤪. Fun memories.

I was born in 1978! I own the DVD of this classic Sid and Marty Krofft television show The Bugaloos! The actors are very handsome, and the actress is very pretty, and they are all also very talented singers, and musicians! I saw the very funny and very talented legendary actress Martha Raye at Derby Dinner Playhouse in the very clever and funny play Everybody Loves Opal. Thank you for posting and sharing this!

I watched this in the early 70's. My boyfriend in the first grade had a Bugaloo's lunch box that I coveted. Back then they were metal and usually had a matching thermos that fit inside. One thing that i totally dont remember is the cast being British!!! That yellow outfit that Ms Raye wore looked like someone had plucked Big Bird!!!😅

[@tammylewis2408]

With Benita's singing, she literally caused Big Bird to molt and then had her outfit made from the feathers🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s like a hybrid of Sesame Street and Barbarella

[@MarquisDeSadie]

Remember watching in our treehouse late 70s with cousins visiting. Whilst the adults were running about gathering everything needed for a big family meal, we were all quite fine hanging about on the weekends, with Kroft shows everywhere for us all to appreciate. It's amazing the power of television having a hold over us kids. From this, to Lidsville, HR Pufnstuf, onto Land of the Lost...these shows defined the American experience despite the obvious groovy UK experience. Martha Ray scared me more than Witchie Poo, maybe because she was frightening, as opposed to Benita setting the kind io be good one ready. Always relieved from herí basic, overcome marshmallow...*&&

[@hollyzukowski4216]

I loved the Bugaloos when I was a kid and had a huge crush on I.Q. My friends and I would talk about the latest episode every Saturday afternoon.

[@janinevelasquez5895]

As a kid, I wanted my hair cut the same as Joy. I was wild about this show!

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Sid and Marty must have partook of the wonder weed before each writing session, if you know what I mean. All of their shows are _WAAAAAAAAY_ out there. Even as a kid I remember thinking, "Man, this is a very strange show!"

[@Puppetgirl93]

Both Sid and Marty have denied doing drugs. I like to think they are just two creative individuals

[@meshica7]

My friend was an ins adjuster back in the 80's and did an assessment on one of the Krofft brother's home in Cali. He said the place was wild! Like a museum of weird and wonderful stuff. They had the original H.R. Pufnstuf costume in a huge display case and a creek that ran through the house and dumped out into a pool in the back yard.
