IT'S HAPPENING IN HOLLYWOOD!

The London vacation was the first time in nearly a year that Caroline "Joy"Ellis, Wayne"Harmony" Laryea, John "Courage" Philpott, and John"I.Q." McIndoe were separated from each other.  They travel everywhere as a flight team and live together in a big house when the shows are being filmed at nearby Paramount Studio.

"It was hard to adjust to a life without wings and antenna, not to mention the treachery of Benita Bizarre," Caroline claims. 

All TV networks are feeling a bunch of financial pains these days and are looking for ways to cut corners and save bread.  There, NBC will try to get by with Bugaloo reruns next season instead of spending new money for 26 new episodes - though they admit this is one of their most successful youth series.  

Capitol hopes to have the Tranquility troubadours together for more albums.  "Older Woman," the second single from their first LP, was another winner.  Meanwhile, manager-mentors Sid & Marty Krofft will steer them on more nationwide tours to entertain and plug their records and products: Bugaloo dolls, comic books, games, and lunch box kits. 

They have survived the yearlong pressures and tensions with no crackups and breakdowns, and that's because they are the sweetest, relaxed, and coolest kids this side of the Moon's Sea of Tranquility.
