Some of you may remember the Sid & Marty Kroft stuff- Saturday morning shows and puppet theatre-style fun. It appeared to be drug-induced, pretty often, but if you read interviews where that’s brought up, they gleefully admit to being sober and straight when coming up with all that stuff.
But here’s the thing. We’re coming up on the fiftieth anniversary of The Bugaloos. Fifty.
I always think of fiftieth anniversaries as being achieved by something worth commemorating. I don’t want to take anything from Sid and Marty, y’understand… with a little better luck, they’d have been right up there with Jim Henson and Company.
But “Hey, everyone, The Bugaloos are fifty!” -in a couple of years, we can say that. “Forty Eight” doesn’t have the same impact, but you get the point, right?
The insane crap of the 70s is going to start being venerable. Oh, my.
Just get Hubris some Clif bars, a jar of Tikka Masala sauce and some sports drink from the store. He’ll be ready in no time.
Gods, talk about a throwback Greg…
Pie flavored sports drink.
Hey, maybe Cthulha can be mistaken for Benita Bizarre!
What are the odds that her dogs are named Woofer, Tweeter and Funky Rat terrier?
If someone sets out a bug zapper they will be The Electric Bugaloos. Or maybe just a taser would do.
I remember the Bugaloos! Even then I thought they were a bit weird. Fun, but weird. They should fit right in with the rest of the outdoorfest participants. Weird but fun.
Buga bugga bugga bugga!!

Oh damn, you just made me feel old. I remember that show.
ROFL!
AND MORE NUTS FOR THE NUT FAIR hehe
I was in high school when they came out. I didn’t realize it was that long ago. They also designed the characters and sets for the Banana Splits. Loved them.
Are we gonna see … oh, I don’t know … Teletubbies? Polk-a-roo? Power Rangers? The Sailor Girls? These teams are … why are we doing an OUTDOOR fest instead of a Freak-fest?
Fraggles.
Ewwwww
“The Bugaloos” was my favorite TV show when I was 5! “H.R. Pufnstuf” was a close second because I had a crush on Jack Wild. I’ve never seen them as reruns, because I don’t want to ruin those distant memories with 5 decades of adult perspectives.
H. R. Pufnstuff is lurking around the corner.
