The Resume

    (September 11, 1976-September 2, 1978)
    ABC
    Segment of the first two Krofft Supershow seasons
    David Levy as Barry Buntrock
    John-Anthony Bailey as C.C. McNamara
    Carol Anne Seflinger as Susan Talbot
    Frank Welker as the voice of Wonderbug
    Three youths outfit a beat-up dune buggy in a junkyard (Schlepcar) with a magic horn to transform into a flying dragster

Why Wonderbug might be annoying:

    The vehicle was prone to mumbling.
    Many of the special effects, particularly when the vehicle was in flight, were painfully cheap.
    Contrary to Barry’s perspective, Susan was often the brains of the outfit.
    As Jack Butler, Bailey went on to become an adult (XXX) actor.

Why Wonderbug might not be annoying:

    The opening theme featured a snappy boogie-woogie sound.
    It was the only first-season segment to return the following season.
    The left rear seat hid a stunt driver for scenes where the bug was to be shown airborne.
    Nominated for an Emmy, Levy went on to become a psychologist.
