Our Home Is Our Hassle The third episode finds Benita Bizarre listening to Peter Platter at KOOK radio as he announces a contest.  The winner gets to sing his/her song on the air.  Thinking this is her big chance, Benita begins to rack her brain to come up with a song.  Meanwhile, Sparky awakes to find himself alone and begins to panic, but soon the Bugaloos arrive back after taking the Bugaloo Buggy "for ah 'lit-'el spin" and put his mind at ease by singing.  Back at Benita's Jukebox Penthouse, Benita has been totally uninspired and begins berating her "tone-deaf weirdos."  As Funky Rat retreats from Benita's advances, he accidentally turns on the Sound Radar and the foursome hear the Bugaloos' singing  coming from Tranquility Forest.  An idea forms in Benita's mind - The Bugaloos must get their inspiration from the Forest!  Needless to say, she heads their way. After reaching Tranquility Forest, Benita and her gang quickly make a mess, throwing trash in the river and starting a fire.  Sparky is wandering through the Forest, singing to himself, "I'm not afraid to be alone," when he stumbles on their campsite.  Thinking the Bugaloos have sent him to spy, Benita yells for Funky, Woofer, and Tweeter to "Grab him!" but Sparky escapes.  Back at the Bugaloos' clearing, Sparky tells what happened to him, stretching his tale quite a bit in the process.  BlueBell Flower and the Grapes alert the Bugaloos to the fire and the boys quickly take action.  After dousing the fire from above, the boys are understandably defensive and let Benita know that "fires are a big fat no-no."  In response to their request for her to leave, Benita gives them a present - she zaps them! As Joy and Sparky anxiously await the boys return, BlueBell Flower and the Grapes alert them that Benita is coming!  Joy realizes something must have happened to the boys and hurries off to look for them.  Finding the boys unconscious, she believes "there's one chance in a million to save the boys," - she must unzap them!  Joy sneaks back to the clearing to find Benita has taken over Harmony's organ and is loudly, uh, singing.  Joy quietly gets the Stereo Zapper and heads back to the boys.  She successfully revives them and as they try to figure out how to remove Benita and her gang from the Forest, Sparky unwittedly provides the answer. The Bugaloos disguise themselves as ghosts and wait for nightfall.  Then, they begin their haunting.  Fearing Funky zapped the Bugaloos into oblivion, Benita and her gang flee Tranquility Forest. * Spotlight On Premiere of "Sparky" Premiere of "Nature Girl" First appearance of the Bugaloo Buggy * Memorable Quotes "You're a smart 'lit-el fella.  Just use your gingerbread." - Harmony "Gingerbread?" - Sparky "You know, you're upper lid." - Harmony "Huh?" - Sparky "Your head, man, your head." - Harmony  "Gosh, you talk funny." - Sparky - "You know violence isn't our bag." - I.Q. * Home    Episode Guide    Episode 4
