The Bugaloos was a children's television series in the United States produced by brothers Sid and Marty Krofft. The Bugaloos, a four-piece British musical group who lived in idyllic Tranquility Forest, had outfits with slight bug-oriented themes, including insect-like wings that allowed them to fly. Their names were Harmony (keyboard, Wayne Laryea), Courage (drums, John Philpott), Joy (tamborine, backup vocals, Caroline Ellis) and I.Q. (lead guitar and vocals, John McIndoe). Their firefly pal is named Sparky, played by Billy Barty, one of the first of many roles he would play in Krofft Brothers' productions.

The name and styling of the Bugaloos show is not related to the Latin dance and music genre, Boogaloo; it is probably a pun with the word "bug". Though the group bore little resemblance to the Beatles, the name appears to be partly inspired by them.

Though peace loving and almost hippy-like, the Bugaloos were pursued by an evil, jealous old crone named Benita Bizarre, played by Martha Raye, who lived in a gigantic jukebox, and used it to broadcast her own brand of blaring, obnoxious, unpleasant music. A terrible singer, she was furious at the popularity of the Bugaloos' more melodic, upbeat sound, and she plotted elaborate, unsuccessful schemes to destroy or enslave the titular protagonists. Benita was aided by two bumbling henchmen, Woofer and Tweeter (Joy Campbell and Van Snowden), and her chauffeur and chief flunky, Funky Rat (Sharon Baird).
