Thank you so much this is my favorite Krofft show I chatted with David Levy online for many years and got his autograph and Carol Anne Seflinger’s I found out where she was and he set up a lunch date for them it was all my doing!!!
Funny story - when I was a kid, I was afraid of Wonderbug! When my brother and sister would watch it on Sunday morning, I'd hide in my grandparent's basement. Watching it now, it's so cheesy, I don't know what I was afraid of, but I guess the idea of a sentient, talking dune buggy with moving headlight eyes, which could also fly, might be kind of frightening to a small child.
THANK GOD! I've been trying to describe this show to people to see if they remember it (they don't). And you touched on one of the points I remember so well...how Barry always used to steal Susan's ideas 😂: Susan: "Why don't we just (some great plan) Barry (dismissively): "There's no time for that Susan..." (After a beat Barry suddenly has an epiphany and snaps his fingers) Barry: "Hey! Why don't we (Susan's exact plan)" CC: "Another great plan, Barry!" (Susan rolls her eyes)
I loved this show when I was a kid! That flying version of Wonderbug went up for auction a couple of years ago. Billie Hayes was also Witchiepoo in H.R Puffinstuf. Loved all the Sid and Marty Krofft shows!
Since I was a child I called peoples beat up cars a Schlep car. Always a great way to jab a buddy, "Let's take your schlep car to the club, we can park in on the street no problem"
Ah, the good ole days! Sid and Marty Kroft, the geniuses behind the majority of our kids shows. When I talk about this show, most people are like "..hmmm, I don't remember that show." So, now I can just tell them to go to your channel and they'll know EXACTLY what I'm talking about! Thanks!
Loved this show as a kid. I remember thinking to myself, “why don’t they just keep it as the Wonderbug”. Though watching the jalop lose parts consistently was always funny.
Ok, I'm starting to make a list of the requests I get. I'll put that one in my need to watch list. Haven't seen that one in years since I was a kid I don't think. Recently, found the comic book from years ago.
I loved the Krofft Super Show though I think Wonderbug would have been my least favorite of its shorts. Dr. Shrinker was probably my favorite. Fascinating that you'd catch they had two different license plates. I never would have noticed that. Billie Hayes was probably more well known for Krofft role of Witchiepoo on H.R. Pufnstuf.
Loved Witchiepoo, She was the Funniest Villian on Saturday Morning TV. She also Guest Starred on an episode of Bewitched where Tabitha takes the place of Hansel and Gretel in a Storybook, and winds up getting Captured by the Evil Witch(Hayes) in a Gingerbread House.
I was born in 1970 and I and got see all of these cartoons. I remember Wonderbug til this day. I clearly remember that horn. I also remember Electro Woman and Dyna Girl. I think I had a little crush on Dyna Girl. The actress that played Electro Woman went on to star in the day time soap Days of Our Lives for many years. HR Puffnstuff and Witchie Poo were great. Very fun. Anyone remember the cartoon 'Hong Kong Phooey'? The main character was voiced by Scatman Crothers. I think I caught it when it ran in syndication in the late 70's or very early 80's. Good times.....
I loved this and Dr. Shrinker as a kid. Really use to hope they'd end up on Shrinker's island. I remember also wishing they'd either have Herbie and Wonder Bug team up or have it show up in Speed Buggy. Fun times.
I was a Krofft Supershow fan. Wonderbug was amusing. I liked Dr. Shrinker with the Shrinkees trying to survive being small and Dr Shrinker and Hugo chasing them...love to see that show remade. Electra Woman and Dyna Girl were great looking with good campy villains. Great memories.
I noticed that TVcrazyman didn't mention "Dr. Shrinker" in the Supershow lineup, but that "Bigfoot & Wild Boy" were! I could have sworn "Bigfoot..." was in a different show, albeit the same network a couple years later. Did I miss something?
@@seanryan3020 Bigfoot and Wildboy was in the second season of the Krofft Supershow. That segment and Magic Mongo had replaced Dr. Shrinker and Electra Woman and Dyna Girl for season 2 with Wonderbug continuing in season 2.
Great trip down memory lane, as always, but at 6:40 you mentioned the wonderful Billie Hayes, but you didn't mention her star turn in Krofft's HR Puffnstuff, as the ridiculously energetic Witchie Poo! I also think she played Mammy Yokum in a production of Dogpatch USA, a musical based on the Lil Abner comic strip.
jons-Both Gordon Jump and Avery Schreiber made guest appearances on Get Smart; Jump playing CONTROL agent Hobson, the (temporary) successor to Hodgkins (can't remember the actor's name), and the predecessor to the dimwitted Larrabee (played by Don Adams real life cousin Robert Karvelas), and Schreiber played a KAOS agent who kidnapped Hymie the robot 🤖 (played by the late Dick Gautier), and planted a bomb in his gear box to blow up Max's bachelor party.
Thank you Thank you thank you so much for this. I use to watch this show as a smaller kid (I'm still a kid now at 50 just bigger lol). For the past 30 years plus I've been trying to remember the name of this show cause at one one point it was my life! I've typed everything possible in Google to find it. But I eventually gave up... and along came you. Thank you for this... I think I'm gonna watch some Speed Buggy 🤭🙃
Regarding the "flat" tires in the goofs, what I believe we are seeing is a matte square that was incorrectly cropped at the base of the tires, hence the appearance of the tire's flat edges. In one of the rare times I could thank an actor I had seen on TV, John-Anthony Bailey (as he was billed on the show, NOT as Jack Baker, that name was used later) came into the bank I worked in at the time. He said, "I'm an actor. I played Sticks on Happy Days." I said, (never having watched Happy Days) "I remember you, "C.C.!" He smiled, and said, "I was always doing this" and he did the "C.C. Arms"! He was pleasant but, sadly, even then you could tell he was not well. This was in Southern California and he was wearing a quilted winter jacket on a temperate day, which led me to believe that he was probably not filling out the bulk of the jacket as he once did.
When I was researching it didn't hit me that he had used more than one name. I started with imdb. I should have started with the credits on the show. I had saw the episodes that he was on Happy Days a million times in reruns, but I either forgot or never realized until my research Sticks was also CC from Wonderbug. I think my memories are starting to get faded just a bit here and there. Definitely, sad that he's not around anymore. It would have been cool to see a Wonderbug TV reunion movie.
The memory I always have of this series was Avery Schrieber using a pocket watch to hypnotize Wonderbug. Yes, they had an episode where the bad guy hypnotizes a freaking car! Even as a kid, I realized that the puppet didn't look a dang thing like the actual car (or that silly model used for flying scenes), and spirits, the male protagonists were SO stupid!! Heck, Shaggy and Scooby were Rhodes geniuses next to THESE guys!! I was so waiting for Susan to slap those male chauvinists unconscious (not really far to go), take the dang car, and head off to greater pastures.
I remember Speedbuggy from Scooby Doo but I don't remember ever getting to watch Wonderbug. It looks like it would've been a fun show. I miss the era of the 70s and early 80s but it's great to have someone like you giving us a chance to relive these shows. Hey, do you by chance remember a early morning kids show called The Great Space Coaster? That might make another fun subject for a future video. Anyways, thanks for another interesting video.
Was never a big fan of the Krofft part but liked Wonderbug and Bigfoot skits. Wonderbug was one of my favorites but didn’t like the puppet. Didn’t think it looked real enough I guess. Always liked to hear the charge tune and see Schlep change into Wonderbug. The charge tune was noticeably missing from the intro. Grew up watching Herby movies too.
I have a pedal car Wonderbug from the seventies and a Duncan toy car. Barry was the leader cause he was the only one who could drive a standard shift. Barry said schlep ran good but Wonderbug was so modified that it was broke down a lot. WB was also a back seat driver. The driver hid under the box in back and drove the car. He don’t know what happened to them but I wonder if they aren’t in the Krofft storage. They sold the toy used for flying scenes on eBay once. I loved Vws so I was a huge fan.
I didn't find anything on that particular question, but surely Wonderbug is sitting in a garage somewhere. Someday we'll hear about some multi-million dollar auction.
Actress Carol Anne Seflinger (Susan) looks so much like fellow actress Beverly D'Angelo who played Ellen Griswold from the National Lampoon Vacation movies.
hated this show as a kid but a lot of my friends liked it. I never watched The Supershow.. thought it was dumb LOL though I liked Speed Buggie so what do I know
Was Wonderbug inspired by SHAZAM? Ordinary boy, Billy Batson transforms into Muscular red-clad Superhero with thunderbolt symbol on his chest. Piece-of-junk Schlep car magically changes into a robust red supermobile, a thunderbolt symbol is visible during transformation. Those are some similarities I've noticed.
I didn't think about that, but they never said where the magic horn came from. Maybe, it came from the Wizard Shazam. They did pull together various ideas from as many places as possible and mashed it together and Shazam was popular at the time.
Nice job. However you're statement that "Wonderbug is the live action version of speed buggy." and was inspired by the animated show of speed buggy is misleading and inaccurate. Wonderbug came before speed buggy so a more accurate statement would be "Speed buggy is the animated version of Wonderbug. with that being said. I'm not so sure that you can really say that they are the same car. I personally never found in concreate conclusive evidence that they are the same car. There is information the people that Worked on the show of Wonderbug also worked on Speed buggy, but there are a lot of holes to be filled if they are suppsed to be the same car. They are not the same color they are not the same style of buggy out side of schlep car. Speed is missing the horn. Speed doesn't fly. The kids they work with are different. It would be nice to have some answers to these questions. please do some deeper research and provide an update. Overall great presentation. Thanks!
Thanks, but Wonderbug did come out in 76 and Speed buggy came out in 73 as far as which came first. I personally, think Speed Buggy isn't necessarily the same car, but likely gave some inspiration to creators of Wonder Bug. Maybe, I'll revisit Wonderbug and do a Speed Buggy video later on. I loved both shows growing up.

The "kids" are full blown adults. hahah I definitely remember this show along with Sigmund the Sea Monster and Dr. Shrinker.
Wonderbug, Speedbuggy, Herbie the Lovebug were all favorites of mine back in the late 70s
i love this show because of the car.. it was a special effect of its kind in my time and i bought into it as a child..
Wow..i haven't seen this in about 48 years. Thanks for the trip diwn memory lane!
Wow, has it been that long since the show was new? I know it has, but it sure doesn't feel like the show is that old.
My favorite SFX on this show is when Wonderbug would turn back into Schlepcar and you would hear that "Charge" horn call played backwards!
Thank you so much this is my favorite Krofft show I chatted with David Levy online for many years and got his autograph and Carol Anne Seflinger’s I found out where she was and he set up a lunch date for them it was all my doing!!!
That is freaking EPIC! How was the lunch, and was there anything especially noteworthy about the conversation?
Very nice, and now on to Electra Woman.
I watched this show religiously as a 5 - 7 yr old and I still think Manx dune buggies are one of the coolest looking cars I've seen!
Casey Kasem also did the voice of Alexander Cabot the 3rd in the Josie And The Pussycats cartoons from the 70s.
He was also Mark, The Leader of G-Force in Battle of the Planets.
Wonderbug had an
episode with a shrinking ray and Kroft also had a show called Dr. Shrinker about a villian with a shrink way
Dune Buggies were so popular in the 70's in large part to the prevalence of the Volkswagen Beetle.
OK, now we need a Kroft Supershow movie!
I'd pay to see that.
Funny story - when I was a kid, I was afraid of Wonderbug! When my brother and sister would watch it on Sunday morning, I'd hide in my grandparent's basement. Watching it now, it's so cheesy, I don't know what I was afraid of, but I guess the idea of a sentient, talking dune buggy with moving headlight eyes, which could also fly, might be kind of frightening to a small child.
I watched Wonderbug On a Saturday morning with Scooby Doo and the Shazam Isis hour I miss Saturday morning cartoons
Wonderbug and Scooby Doo had a lot in common because they were created by the same guys!
I never saw this show, but it reminds me of the CBS animated series Speed Buggy.
THANK GOD! I've been trying to describe this show to people to see if they remember it (they don't). And you touched on one of the points I remember so well...how Barry always used to steal Susan's ideas 😂:

Barry (dismissively): "There's no time for that Susan..."
(After a beat Barry suddenly has an epiphany and snaps his fingers)
Barry: "Hey! Why don't we (Susan's exact plan)"
CC: "Another great plan, Barry!"
(Susan rolls her eyes)
Another great video!
The puppet version of Wonderbug scared the crap out of me as a kid.
I loved this show when I was a kid! That flying version of Wonderbug went up for auction a couple of years ago. Billie Hayes was also Witchiepoo in H.R Puffinstuf. Loved all the Sid and Marty Krofft shows!
Agree, as a kid in the 70's I too enjoyed these shows. Too bad there is nothing remotely close showing today.
Billie also played an old lady prospector on one episode.
@NeluThat70sKid Oh that's right! I forgot about that!
Since I was a child I called peoples beat up cars a Schlep car. Always a great way to jab a buddy, "Let's take your schlep car to the club, we can park in on the street no problem"
Wonderbug was a favorite of mine back in the day. It was pretty much a live acton Speed Buggy.

EAT YOUR HEART OUT, SPEED-BUGGY!
All seen and good. But only one show I'm waiting patiently on for you to do. WHEELIE AND THE CROPPER BUNCH

Watching Wonderbug as a kid was awesome
I always thought he acted like JJ from good times
I was born in 1969 and I remember this show watching it on Saturday morning
I loved this and Dr. Shrinker as a kid. Really use to hope they'd end up on Shrinker's island. I remember also wishing they'd either have Herbie and Wonder Bug team up or have it show up in Speed Buggy. Fun times.
Wonderbug reminds me of Herbie from the Herbie movies, minus ➖ turning himself into a super car.
This reminds me of the speed buggy when they teamed up with Scooby Doo
I remember this loved him
Yes, I loved Wonderbug.
Only topped by The Land Of The Lost.
Love to hear about other Krofft Supershow hits!
Best to you-
krofft super show it's a great wonderbug is one of my favroite segments

70s memories. ❤
This Show was probably Inspired by Herbie The Love Bug from the Walt Disney Films.
It definitely had a lot of similarities to that one as well as Speed Buggy. Herbie was another favorite of mine.
The noises he made were hilarious
Great Video. I was so sure a teenage John Ritter was part of this show.
Never remembered this show but looks a brilliant one thanks for sharing bud 😀
Thanks

Sounds kind of familiar, but I'm not sure. I'll have to look that one up and see if I can jog my memory. Appreciate it.
A few years ago I emailed David Levy. He wrote back!
Gordon Jump, from WKRP, also played the bike shop predator on Different Strokes.
"A very special episode..."

Bigfoot and Wildboy got their own separate show later on that lasted a few episodes, but originally they were part of the Krofft Supershow.
Interesting
I have a pedal car Wonderbug from the seventies and a Duncan toy car.

😂 the slow running crook, 6 year old me use to watch this show like it was the best thing invented, 70's were wild.
Nice facts
Disappointing to find out what became of John Bailey(Also known as Jack Backer).
In some of the aerial shots, Wonderbug was a toy, and the cast were dolls.
I always thought Carol Anne Seflinger was doll to begin with.
You should do jabberjaw Goofs
Never watched wonder bug need to looks very interesting though
Why didn’t I think of that?!!
Wonderbug?🤔
Avery playing a similar character on another show is COINCIDENTAL not ironic.
Did Whammo sell the Super Slippery Sliding Stuff??
I'd still like to know what happened to the cars. Both schlep and Wonderbug.
I didn't find anything on that particular question, but surely Wonderbug is sitting in a garage somewhere. Someday we'll hear about some multi-million dollar auction.
:Both"??? BLASPHEMY!
Actress Carol Anne Seflinger (Susan) looks so much like fellow actress Beverly D'Angelo who played Ellen Griswold from the National Lampoon Vacation movies.
Billie Hayes was Mammy Yokum in the film Lil’ Abner
And he never mentioned Witchiepoo
Yes jack baker did lots of porn in the eighties
hated this show as a kid but a lot of my friends liked it. I never watched The Supershow.. thought it was dumb LOL though I liked Speed Buggie so what do I know

Dude really forgot Frank Welker's Megatron, Galvatron, Soundwave, and various characters in the Transformers franchise smh
It's been a bit since I did this video, but I have to say Welker has such a huge list of stuff he's done probably couldn't list them all.
