So many great 70s tv stars Dave thanks for keeping the 70s alive with great stars
Judy Strangis was drop dead gorgeous. 😃👍
Judy Strangis was also Mean Mary Jean in the Plymouth Duster commercials of the early 1970s!
I loved land of the lost. There was something so special about it. I really dislike when producers and writers try to rewrite beloved characters as if they never existed. I didn't even bother watching the new altered versions. Man those days of eating a bowl of fruit loops and watching Land of the lost were the best! Sat. Mornings were just wonderful as a child.

Thanks Dave. I always had a crush on Kathy, too! What a mark she made for being active on TV for only a few years
I had a crush on Judy Strangis and was a big fan of 222 even if I didn't understand everything going on lol
How awesome was this! Reliving 3 of my favorite shows growing up(born 1966)! thanks for taking me down memory lane and going through these amazing people's lives! Loved the Burger King commercial " post credit scene" ! LOL! Keep up the great work! Love this content!

I remember Judy Strangis, I thought she looked familiar and then I remembered seeing her on one of my favorite early 80’s tv show, The A-Team playing a character named Judy in the Episode “ In Plane Sight” Wonderful actress. There was some awesome shows that aired in the 70’s fun times for those that remember that era. 😊

I don't remember watching Electra Woman and Dyna Girl but I do remember watching Room 222 in its original run even though I was very young. I remember looking forward to that show's opening theme. I'll have to look up both for Ms. Strangis in particular. I'd heard of the Bugaloos, and I'm not sure why I didn't watch it, but I DEFINITELY watched Land of the Lost. Ms. Ellis was very cute (all 3 of them are still great looking). I guess that means Ms. Coleman would have had my vote as a young kid. Thanks, Dave.

There was also Pamela Sue Martin and Janet Louise Johnson who both played Nancy Drew on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries show. Janet Louise Johnson stepped in to replace Pamela Sue Martin when she had a dispute with the show for wanting to eventually have her own Nancy Drew TV series but the producers of the show would not agree to that so she left then Janet Louise Johnson replaced her but that didn't last long since the fans wanted Pamela Sue Martin back so in the 3rd season of the show it was only The Hardy Boys starring Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy. Then there was Maren Jensen and Laurette Spang from Battlestar Galactica. All 4 then young women were very beautiful at that time and still are today.
The Monkees theme is a classic!

Part 1: One of my best friends got me into Spike Jones. I always liked Dyna Girl a little better but liked Electra Woman, too. I liked Room 222 for Karen Valentine as well as Judy. Part 2: Joy was my favorite of the Bugaloos. Phil Collins did audition and IQ told him “You’re lucky you didn’t pass the audition!” Caroline seems like a very sweet person! Part 3: I kind of missed out on Land Of The Lost but it was pretty well done. It probably inspired Jurassic Park. The first movie scared the heck out of me!

I went to a Spike Jones concert when I four years old in Omaha...around 1955...thought it was funny but my parents just loved him.
Caroline was probably my first crush. I was too young to even understand what a crush was but… damn.

Same! Just knew I felt all weird when I watched Joy. I even got that record. I was 5. Used to just stare at the album while the music played. My Mom would walk by & jokingly say, " listening to your girlfriend again?" & I remember blushing. I didn't know what was going on. But I could watch her all day.
All three were favorites of mine. Caroline's 2 songs doing lead vocals for the Bugaloos are The Senses of Our World and Castles in the Air, and they're here on KZread - at least I hope still. All Bugaloos songs should be here, the versions from the album and some from the show, which were different and sometimes better (as with Believe).
I’m 62 years old I watched every sid and marty kroff show.
I saw Kathy Coleman today at a convention in Massachusetts. She was sweet.
Been watching these shows on Tubi. Since I don't remember the Bugaloos.
Growing up in the 80s a lot of these shows were rerun to death but man… what a time to be alive and looking forward to the Saturday morning binge fest with my Kellogg Sugar Smacks and bacon and eggs. Good times. 😊😊😊😊
Loves the Bugaloos! Don't forget that the comedienne Martha Raye was Benita Bizarre. She was also in many comedic movies and TV 📺 shows, including Carol Burnett Show , and became a regular on McMillan after Nancy Walker left
Thank You for the Video (and the memories) 😀

Thanks for sharing. It’s interesting that her character is called Dyna-“girl” but Hall’s is “Woman” they were actually only two years apart in real life.

I thought Holly was cute...but no big crush for her...But I was addicted to the show...
At 7:50 ...I was 12 in 1974 when I first saw the Bugaloos...I fell in deep love with Caroline..so much that I would curl up and cry...It is very hard on a boy with all those hormones...
I remember Room 222 but i never really watched it. My mom liked it tho. Loved Land of the Lost tho always thought they’d get home someday 😆
Judy in Room 222 ❤️❤️❤️. I was born in 1962, so I was very young in the early 1970’s. But I wanted to be in high school so bad with Judy as my girlfriend. That sort of happened when I was a senior in high school (1979-80) back in Connecticut. I dated a girl that looked like Judy for the entire school year.

the electra woman and dyna girl segements of the krofft's supershow were only 15 minutes,so they were probably pretty easy to film a bunch at a time. room 222 came on after the partridge family,not the brady bunch. that friday night line up was fantastic. brady bunch,partridge family, room 222, odd couple and love american style. it was rivaled only by CBS's saturday night line up of all in the family,the jeffersons, mary tyler moore, bob newhart,and carol burnett. dyna girl and joy bugaloo were every pre-pubescent boy's dreamgirls in the early 70s. i know both played a big part in me becoming a "leg man" .
Judy Srangis and the other girls are so pretty!
I would like to add that Spike Jones was a pre Zappa.
I keep mentioning to you. You should do a video on the most unlucky 70s/80s actress of all time, Rhonda Bates the tall girl from Texas, who has been in more failed sitcom and sitcom pilots than any other woman in American television history. The only show close to a hit that she’s ever been on has been CPO Sharky, which I believe ran for three seasons.

Kathy Met Walt Disney and she sang his songs it, be nice if you could more of what Kathy did in her music career.
Caroline Ellis did a full frontal scene in confessions from a holiday camp in 1977 beautiful woman.

I recognized Deidre Hall from the time I saw the thumbnail about Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. Of course I knew Deidre Hall best as Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of our Lives. I heard of Room 222 and read the Mad magazine satire of it but I've never seen it. Saturday morning TV was always great when I was a child.
Aside from Columbo, the 1970 ~ 1974 time period on the (US) telly draws blank for me. Am I an anomaly with regard to this? 📺🤔

Reworking a daughter character as a love interest? That's not creepy at all. Clearly they couldn't care less about making a movie that would appeal to fans of the original. I'm glad I gave it a miss.

Honestly glad negotiations broke down with Kathy and that Land of the Lost “reboot”. That was a terrible film best forgotten.
Speaking of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, I did a reboot of those characters, but not like that God awful 2016 movie they made about them. I really hate that hipster style of humor 🤮
I thought karen valentine was beautiful in room 222
SWEET!
