Wonderbug - Lights, Camera, Wonderbug!| Full Episode 8 | Sid & Marty Krofft Pictures

[@PaulMcElveen]

I was born in the late fall of 1978. I Love the Classic Wonderbug Saturday Televison Show and Theme Song!

[@broderickgillum8854]

WOW this bring back old memories.

[@PoeLemic]

I grew up on these tv shows. I never thought I'd see them again. And, crazy that I could even sing the Wonderbug theme song along with it, after it started.

[@joerevere937]

CeeCee's character is a mix of Freddy 'Boom-Boom' Washington from 'Welcome Back Kotter' and 'JJ Evans' from 'Good Times'. Dyno-mite!

[@CartoonMitchell]

Agree!

[@independentthinker.273]

I see some David Chappelle in there too.

[@jsbadger]

Sad thing is, he turned into an adult actor in the late 80's.

[@PoeLemic]

Gosh, I so loved 'JJ Evans' from 'Good Times' as I was growing up. He sure made me laugh.

[@timothyadam576]

​@jsbadger I remember that. He was in an adult video called "White Chicks".

[@Ferreal92]

Sid and Marty Kroft ruled Saturday morning.

[@7silver78fox]

When a memory takes you back to innocence ❤️

[@calden74]

I know right, I was just 5 years old but I still remeber this show as It was part of my daily TV intake, as well as others like; Captain Kangroo, Romper Room, Bigfoot & WildBoy, Shazam, Scooby Doo, Monster Squad, Land of The Lost, Gilligans Island, etc...

[@7silver78fox]

@@calden74 We had it made in the shade. I was 10 in 1981. Nuff said 😬

[@calden74]

@7mj758 I was 8 in 81', born in 74', California, Orange County. In fact, we lived at the Orange Circle above a record store. Which was also my first job at 15, selling records to the squares. Our cartoons were definitely better than the current crap their trying to peddle to our kids today. I mean Peppy Le' Pew alone would be enough to cancel an entire network today.

[@jeffreyc9083]

I remember this as a kid, but I confused it or conflated it with the Herby franchise. Thanks for posting!

[@williammitchell4417]

Herbie's not too shabby. What Disney did to him was absurd. But yeah, for an old kids show this is cool.

[@brentcanfield8883]

AND Speed Buggy lol

[@anthonym411]

Always dig the music tracks used for most of these live action Saturday kid shows!

[@davewollenberg1518]

The villains all seemed to have Brooklyn accents.

[@somethingdifferent4u247]

I love to watch this show every single Saturday as a kid. #imissthegoodoledaysoftv

[@Duggy1872]

I'm sitting here wonder the bug is this 🤣

[@TheCarin12]

Fantastic acting.

[@pinkspeeder]

😂😂

[@rayrayfad3654]

“Crooked Mod Squad”?? 😂

[@albertwise6426]

One of my favorite Krofft shows ❤️ Wonderbug. Need to release to DVD.

[@jimteu3608]

If watching this you grew up in some of the best of times as a kid

[@discostu5426]

so true!

[@jayjay-bz3rr]

Oh the ‘70’s . 😌

[@dicktrickle741]

Watching stuff from the 70's you can really tell there were only half the population of today, everything looks so sparse

[@lynnjames6629]

Thanks for sharing‼️ 👍🙂

[@craigsheffield6546]

Just hearing the theme song takes me back to the 70s. I have not seen this since it came out back then. I'd literally forgotten all about it.

[@sweets6865]

The black guy in this show he played in a episode of Good Times where he had robbed a bank.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I think he was in a few adult films 🎥 too, 1970s 1980s. 😉

[@CartoonMitchell]

Knight Rider for kids... as if kids needed a kid-friendly version!

[@mikecarter8880]

Was just looking up the cast to see what they were up to or still acting... RIP John Bailey, but boy what a career switch. He had a lot of great credits, I will always remember him as Sticks in Happy Days. But looks like work credits were drying up before the switch to adult work.

[@xa9131]

Miss the old days!!!

[@ultramegatrion]

As a kid I thought it was a sibling of Herbie... lol

[@brentcanfield8883]

The part of the intro where they show Wonderbug flying through the air, where you can tell it's a hot wheels car or something like it-I wonder who if anyone actually has that still. That would be the coolest prop to own!

[@pinkspeeder]

I thought the same thing😂

[@zazelby]

I wonder if they used the same miniature in The Incredible Shrinking Wonderbug.

[@freqenc]

I'm so freaking out. Electro woman and dyno girl was one! THIS IS ANOTHER. How do I remember these shows! but really don't remember them?

[@seanmcdonough4902]

Will take the actress ( in costume/boots ) for the win ,mr trebeck....yessir!

[@annakelman6627]

Loving the Yiddishe schlep name. 😂😂

[@randybaumery5090]

This is just live action SPEED BUGGY.

[@mikesilva3868]

😊😊😊its still fun to watch

[@robertcoggeshall3071]

Herbie, Speed buggy, Wonder Bug, Kitt and the batmobile. Famous cars from TV and movies. Any other ones I missed?

[@WinslowLeach1974]

I wonder if the Kroffts were taking a mild shot at Disney/Herbie when Wonderbug "said" he wanted to be "the world's first four-wheeled superstar." Herbie was pretty darn popular in the 60s and 70s. 🙂

[@williammitchell4417]

The Scorpionmobile, Viper, the General Lee just to name a few.

[@robertcoggeshall3071]

@@williammitchell4417 what were scorpion mobile and Viper? Talking more about classic shows.

[@williammitchell4417]

@@robertcoggeshall3071 both came out shortly after KITT. Viper was literally a redo of streethawk only with a car instead. Black Scorpion was a Vette.

[@tammylewis2408]

Mach 5 from Speed Racer

[@mikesilva3868]

Love krofft super show love wonderbug too💛

[@altonedwards2878]

That is my favorite TV show wonderbug😅 and I like the theme too

[@ivanmarquez4738]

Funny. They said, "Look for an old car.". Nevermind that there is a blonde girl with a bright yellow vinyl suit and a guy with huge green double "00" on his shirt.

[@larryj2416]

It's like alive action Speed Buggy

[@bobbybickert]

Maybe because Wonderbug was created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, who probably worked on Speed Buggy while they were at Hanna-Barbera. Frank Welker did the "vocal effects" for Schlepcar and Wonderbug. In recent years Frank Welker has done the voice of Speed Buggy . Not Surprisingly Speedy sounds a lot like Schlepcar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ26h5ujetGhh9E

[@trevorrandom]

Studio security was very slack back then.

[@clasicradiolover]

I watched it all the time, and Electro Woman and Dyna girl

[@albertwise6426]

I wonder 🤔 what happened to the Slep car.

[@mryorkie]

Theses were great shows to trip on when high af

[@Kkidzz]

Shecky and Shmutz....The Putz Brothers.

[@juliemcarthur3004]

I remember this

[@collegeman1988]

Anyone remember after The Krofft Supershow ended that local stations aired episodes of Wonderbug as a separate show on weekends in the late 1970s?

[@arthurwatt5162]

I was only about 13 when this came out. Along with HR, puffensruff.

[@erich6096]

I'm not sure if I remember this show or not from early childhood. I think I might be confusing it with the cartoon Speed Buggy. So many weird fragmented memories of Saturday morning TV from when I was small

[@JJR93]

So was just looking at a GIF of the old cartoon Speed Buggy and then was like WAIT! there was a live action show with a "living buggy" but it was like all red and sparkly....and through the power of Google I found it....Wonderbug! I watched this show obsessively as a kid.

[@blainedavis1603]

The blonde girl is a cutie and I had a little crush on her back then.

[@deboralee1623]

"Any of you guys see the hidden camera?" (4:56-4:57)

[@gratefuljr]

Are all Sid and Marty Kroft productions for people who are stoned?

[@knightandfog]

Yep, pretty much. Even as a kid I knew their productions were goofy.

[@7silver78fox]

Haaaa this episode reminded me of the movie "Half baked"

[@seanmcdonough4902]

Yup

[@WinslowLeach1974]

Starring John-Anthony Bailey a.k.a. Jack Baker a.k.a. 'Sticks' from "Happy Days" a.k.a. future porno star! 😆 9:57 Marty Allen! He couldn't go anywhere without saying "Hello dere"

[@maxheadroom1506]

i can now understand why this show was cancelled.

[@TheRedDevil_NC]

does it get any better than these SMK shows in the early to mid 70s?

[@barneshomestead1240]

Remember the visit to the Dodgers game!

[@chad5893]

How much of a black stereotype do you want? Answer: Yes

[@user-me5le6nv5q]

How did Wonderbug wind up on the Donny & Marie show?😂😂😂😂😂

[@stealthfighter2923]

Dang. I used to love some really corny tv shows.

[@harrisonderr1317]

Are there any more Wonder Bug episodes?

[@jalaneperry7643]

Before i go much further we the Kroft super show First started you had three shows Wonderburg Dr shrinker ( jay Robinson Billy Barty) then Electra woman and Dtna girl it was great before they turned it into bay city ROLLARS excitement

[@glenncook6734]

11:40

[@shavinmccrotch9435]

And we never noticed they wore the same clothes in every episode. 🤔

[@jefferybrown7842]

The Black dude stared in a few x rated films.

[@JJR93]

From like 1984 onward.

[@johnpjones182]

Hello dere.

[@Steveshappylittletrees]

Wonderbug was a total ripoff of the speed buggy cartoon that ran from 1973 to 1983👍

[@HappycoloredGrimsby]

I mean both took heavy inspiration from the love bug and Hanna barbera aren’t exactly creative themselves either

[@fjccommish]

20+ year olds who look 30 playing teenagers. Awful.

[@glenncook6734]

0:47 11:40

[@stevenrussell5340]

A horrible take off Herbie the Love bug. Don't bother with this show.

[@deboralee1623]

?Marty Ingels as the Indian chief? [moments later, while reading the credits] yyyep. filmed in The Burbank Studios/Warner Bros.? i thinnnk so.
