Bugaloos Episode 1- Firefly Light My Fire

Alright guys here is another episode review for everyone to enjoy! The first episode of the series, Firefly Light My Fire


The episode opens with Benita Bizarre in her limo with Funky Rat the rat chaffier driving. Anyways walking beside the road is a firefly who Benita's chaffier carelessly runs over and nearly injures. This is great, just great, Is it just me or should Benita be thrown in jail forever for nearly killing a firefly? Wouldn't the rat pull over and make sure they didn't hit anything? No they didn't! instead Benita tells Funky to hurry up and they leave the unconscious firefly lying on the ground.

                                 

          The next scene shows the waking of the Bugaloos, Courage comes out of a tree house, Harmony comes out of a bamboo hut IQ pops out of an onion and then lastly the cute Joy comes forth out of a flower with all the other Bugaloos gathered around. Just then the flower sounds alarm telling The Bugaloos someone is in trouble! The grapevine proceeds to tell them that a firefly was hit by a speeding car and is in bad shape. The Bugaloos fly to the rescue. Finding the firefly unconscious they take him back to their place and wait for him to wake up before introducing themselves. The firefly introduces himself as Sparky and thanks the Bugaloos for rescuing him. When the Bugaloo boys decide to test his wings Sparky admits he's a coward who can't fly. Well they lift him up and let him go and he falls. Harmony exclaims He was right, he can't fly.

 

      Next we see Peter Platter who is the disc Jockey for Kook Radio, Benita pops in on him and tells Peter about a hit record she is doing, for which she claims is gonna be a hit! Then she calls him a hunk and leaves we then see her put a coin in the jukebox and drives inside. She is met by  two robots played by Joy Campbell and Van Snowden who proudly show Benita a back up band called The Mopheads. The band sucks badly and Benita pretty much gives them the boot. Then she proceeds to club both robots.

 

      The Bugaloos are now clustered around Sparky telling him he can't fly unless he tries. Sparky denies and tries to talk them out of it. He then reveals he is a scaredy cat afraid of the dark and exclaims that he is a born loser. Joy comforts Sparky by telling him that if he doesn't believe in himself he can't expect anyone else too. then Joy and the other Bugaloos start to sing The Senses Of Our World.

Benita's sound radar picks up their singing and Benita Funky and her two robots all drive to Tranquility Forest Benita introduces herself and tries to convince the male Bugs to join her group. But Joy and the boys refuse telling Benita she needs to concentrate on safe driving. Benita furious that the Bugs won't be a part of her band leaves and returns a few minutes later with a stereo zapper which looks like something Star Trek would have.

       Anyways now zapped, The Bugaloos are transported to Benita's jukebox where tied up they are threatened by Benita who cackles with glee showing a poor tied Joy spinning around a turn table. The boys beg Benita to shut the contraption off. Benita agrees on the conduction that the boys perform with her along with Sparky. However the boys planned with Sparky to zap some do das (Sounds like Camptown Races) and Sparky succeeds freeing The Bugaloos and wrecking the studio. Benita is defeated and the Bugaloos fly away.

         The Bugaloos praise Sparky and IQ gives some words of wisdom with this quote "It just goes to prove that you can do anything you want to as long as you've got confidence in yourself" Yep that is the a great encouragement I.Q. With some last minute encouragement Sparky tries to fly but crashes on the Lilly pad flower. Harmony remarks that Sparky doesn't need conference but that he needs a parachute. Then all of them fly off into the sun!

   Alright Episode 1 completed, Next episode is going to be Our Home Is Our Hassle. Please let me know what everyone thinks too. The more likes my page gets the merrier. Like my fan page because I made it for all the fans on Facebook.

My Review: Although this is the first episode of the series, I really did enjoy that this was the pilot episode introducing both The Bugaloos and Martha Raye. I also liked Peter Platter and The song The Senses Of Our World. It is catchy. 10/10 rating
