In regards to Saturday's Comic Con and The new Bugaloos series

Saturday came and so did the Krofft's panel. Fortunately the Kroffts themselves had some girl film the entire Comic Con Panel live on their Facebook page. So I saw part of the panel well, I watched part of it on the Facebook Krofft page.

They had a couple of teaser trailers regarding the new updated versions of their shows such as Mutt & Stuff, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters which looked very cool and then it came to the Bugaloos trailer, first they showed clips of the original series with If You Become A Bugaloo in the background and then the remake appeared next. I was just blown away with the visual effects. Oh my god it really looked like a forest, so I was very happy. Another good plus on my part was they had clips of Sparky, Woofer and Tweeter and Funky Rat and Benita Bizarre was not played by Cyndi Lauper. Apparently it was misinformation that she was signed on to play Benita Bizarre. However Lise Simms who played Benita in the pilot was just brilliant. She even carelessly tossed a boa around and it was like a homage to the original Martha Raye Benita.

The costumes were gorgeous and the wings were just, my gosh real lifelike insect wings so I will say I was very impressed. Since the new series is geared toward preschoolers The Bugaloos themselves looked like ten to twelve year old kids which wasn't bad in my part however I had a problem with the music because the theme song that was played during the clips (possibly the new series theme?) It did not sound that great. I need time to get used to it! The other characters Sparky, Woofer and Tweeter and Funky Rat were given updated new looks. Woofer and Tweeter looked more like robots than stereo equipment. Sparky was just adorable despite being smaller than the original. Funky Rat looked creepy as hell, he just looked weird. Another flaw was that I didn't hear any british accents but I guess i can pardon that because of the not good theme song playing in the background. They all sounded like Americans but whatever!

I promised my fan page I would review the new show so I am hoping this gets picked up by either CBS or Nick. Daria returned from Comic Con and explained she tried to convince the Krofft brothers of a reunion with the original band members. Sid is on board with it but Marty was like yeah I'll think about it. Also Daria said during the screening everyone clapped and applauded when the original show clips appeared on the screen but when the remake with the new kids popped on everyone fell silent and lost interest. That itself just tells the Kroffts no one liked it.

I really think shockingly this new series has potential and all fans should shower this with love. If the Kroffts see how much the original fans like the new show then it will lead to a reunion. As of now the new updated Bugaloos series is still in limbo. No network has picked this up and it's possible a different network than Nickelodeon will grab it. There is no air date yet as the series as I stated before isn't picked up yet.

And just as a prediction, I predict the new series will get picked up in the late fall of 2017 and filming will start early 2018. Hopefully by then the Kroffts will have a reunion for us Bugaloos fans and for the band members

Bugaloos Reboot

It is two days till Comic Con's Krofft Panel and I'm extremely both excited and nervous. On Saturday actually Sunday evening all Bugaloos fans will find out those answers to these questions

Who will play the new Bugaloos?
Are there any original characters like Sparky, Peter Platter and Funky Rat in the remake?
Will the original Bugaloos cast play a part in the updated series, such as making a cameo?
Is Benita going to live in a iPhone or iPod instead of a Jukebox?
Who will play Benita Bizarre?
Who will play Sparky, Woofer, Tweeter, Funky and Peter Platter?
Is the flower and the grapes a part in the remake?
When is the premiere date?

Daria will possibly announce late Saturday or Sunday night about the remake and the details the Kroffts have said. She will also announce who is playing The Bugaloos and if Sparky and other characters will play a part in the reboot

It will be Saturday before we know it, stay tuned.... I'll update Saturday night or Sunday for the news I get.

Coming Soon The Bugaloos Reboot

It's only 4 days till Comic Con with Sid and Marty Krofft and I'm extremely nervous for a very good reason. The Bugaloos is my favorite Krofft program out of all of Sid and Marty Krofft Shows, it even tops HR Pufnstuf, Land Of The Lost and Lidsville.

I'm extremely hoping and praying for good news. I know Daria will be attending but rumor has it one of the original Bugaloos cast is attending Comic Con.

Here's what I think the Kroffts will announce, they will announce the series has been picked up by Nickelodeon and say who will be playing the new Bugaloos,  If Sparky and the other characters of the original series will also make it in the remake or changed to new characters. They will also announce if the original band members will play a part in the new series, My best guess is they will leak out some of the updated stuff that will be on the new series ex: Funky being dumped for being racist etc

Only 4 days to go and I'm extremely hyped for the news, I hope Sparky will be in the remake,

Until then

Bugaloos Reboot Opinion

Ok, so a couple years ago one of my friends (Daria) attended a Comic Con convention in San Diego. She asked a question to the Kroffts about The Bugaloos being remade, and they responded by saying they were remaking it and Cyndi Lauper would play Benita Bizarre. In 2016, they dropped hints of the remake by confirming it but said no more. Now its 2017, and this year's comic con schedule page leaked out The Bugaloos reboot by saying they have just made a pilot for Nickelodeon.

Daria, told me they probably haven't picked up the pilot yet, so I guess we will have to wait and see. Either that or the Kroffts did create a pilot for Nickelodeon and it's being tested.

This year she will go back to Comic Con (In two weeks) and hear if any new news is being dropped for the new Bugaloos remake.

I don't know of any premiere date, but my prediction is either early to mid 2018 for the pilot. and the series itself will begin sometime in 2019. I could be wrong and the pilot possibly will air in late 2017.

Now if we can just find out who will play Sparky, Funky Rat, Woofer and Tweeter and Peter Platter?

I will give an update soon about the new show and the pilot premiere so stay tuned

Bugaloos Board game Australian Version

Cool Australian version of The Bugaloos Boardgame I found on Esty a few months ago

The pieces are different compared to the US version of the game, the color of the dice is green compared to the US which is red and the pieces are a different design rather than the US's sorry game looking pieces

Very Interesting
