It was my favorite and I think the best of all the Sid and Marty Kroftf shows. It was lighter and funnier than almost all of them and had Martha Raye who was amazing as Benita Bizarre. Raye was never really menacing like Witchiepoo or Hoodoo, she was just funny. And unlike most of the other Krofft shows, the show had cute guys on the show. I had a crush on Wayne Laryea who played Harmony, not because he was black or was the cutest (which he was) but because I never understood a word he said. The only weak link was Caroline Ellis who was too wimpy as Joy. Did you know Phil Collins was a finalist to play IQ, which would have been interesting. They tried a reboot a few years back but it never came about, possibly because the target audience was difficult to define. If they do, there are a lot of choices for Benita. Maybe Tracey Ullman or Cheno or Cyndi Lauper.
"You bloody well better let us go, Benita Bizarre!"

Yes, Joy was the weak link.

Loved the Bugaloos, but it wasn't better than H.R. Pufnstuf - that's blasphemy!

Even one of the Bugaloos was cuter than Jack Wild and that includes Billy Barty.

Lidsville was the best.
