Pufnstuf - Nostalgia Central Swimming to the shore of Living Island, Jimmy is rescued by its mayor, H R Pufnstuf and his Rescue Ranger crew (made up of two mute and inept dwarves named Kling and Klang) before Witchiepoo can get her hands on the boy or the magic flute.

tvdvdreviews.com -- H.R. Pufnstuf: The Complete Series DVD Review The basic plot of any given episode is simple: Jimmy and Pufnstuf devise a plan to get Jimmy off of the island, Witchiepoo hatches a plan to snatch Freddy, Jimmy foils the witch's plan, and she, in turn, foils his. H.R. Pufnstuf's theme is so detailed, however, that the plot of the first episode simply picks up from where the story related in the theme song left off. The others are presented in a variety of imaginative styles, including Disneyland-esque full body costumes (Pufnstuf, Dr. Blinky), traditional puppets (Freddy), and even talking set pieces (a variety of doors, gargoyles, and even complete buildings). www.tvdvdreviews.com /pufnstuf.html   (1395 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on H.R. Pufnstuf - The Complete Series at Epinions.com Pufnstuf is filled with imagination and adventure, it's crammed with catchy songs and dance numbers (Showcasing Jack's run in a musical and Billie's tenure in Lil Abner), and bubbles over with a youthful energy that's hard not get caught up in. However HR Pufnstuf still holds a charm for children today and can serve as a wonderful piece of nostalgia for the children of the 80's who refuse to grow up. Even I, who was always lukewarm to Pufnstuf (I was more of a Land of the Lost man m'self) find a certain draw to the show. www.epinions.com /content_148404866692   (1474 words)

H.R. Pufnstuf Pufnstuf and Witchiepoo, along with various other secondary characters, were brought back from time to time for appearances on other Saturday morning Krofft shows (including the Krofft Superstar Hour/Bay City Rollers Show), live events, and prime time series, like the Krofft produced Brady Bunch Hour and even CHiPs. Jimmy and Freddie were rescued by H. Pufnstuf, a talking dragon who is the mayor of Living Island. Although there was only one season of new episodes, the show spawned a feature length film, Pufnstuf, in 1970. www.70slivekidvid.com /pufn.htm   (378 words)

JS Online: Strange world of 'Pufnstuf' comes back for new generation The complete "Pufnstuf" series is in one DVD package, and the 17 episodes of "Lidsville," about a teen who falls into a magic hat and winds up in a land populated by huge talking hats, hit stores earlier this year. And the third set of "Land of the Lost" and "Sigmund," starring Johnny Whitaker, are next in the pipeline from Rhino. So says Marty Krofft, who with big brother Sid created 17 episodes of the quirky kid series in 1969, and has been reaping the rewards ever since, give or take the 1970 feature film that pleased neither the Kroffts nor the critics. www.jsonline.com /onwisconsin/movies/mar05/311748.asp   (564 words)

Journal of Popular Film and Television: Pufnstuf and Other Stuff: The Weird and Wonderful World of Sid and Marty Krofft. . - book review Part memoir, part trivia compendium, Pufnstuf & Other Stuff lovingly chronicles the careers of the Krofft brothers (and their puppets), from the Folies Bergere in Paris to opening for Judy Garland in Los Angeles in the late 1950s. It was an NBC executive, Martindale explains, who suggested that the Kroffts create their own show, and H. Pufnstuf was born. In his book Pufnstuf & Other Stuff, journalist David Martindale provides the definitive reference for fans of the team that created Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Lidsville, and, of course, H. Pufnstuf. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0412/is_4_29/ai_82779445   (1060 words)

H.R. Pufnstuf Like H.R. Pufnstuf, the name of the show is a pot pun: a "lid" was a common unit for sale of marijuana during the 60's and 70's, being a jar-lid full of buds. Although H.R. Pufnstuf was their first and most enduringly popular show, the Krofft brothers were prolific in their 1970's TV creations. Like many good things from that era, H.R. Pufnstuf was full of nods to the prevailing stoner counter-culture, and included many sly pot and drug references which most of us likely missed as children. www.cannabisculture.com /articles/2926.html   (1256 words)

The Straight Dope: Was McDonaldland plagiarized from the old H. R. Pufnstuf kids' TV show? H.R. Pufnstuf featured brightly colored sets with hyperkinetic actors (many of them dwarfs) in wild costumes playing such characters as Wilhelmina Witchiepoo, Cling and Clang, and of course H.R. Pufnstuf, a friendly dragon who was mayor of Living Island, where plants, animals, and objects could talk and wacky adventures took place. For example, Mayor McCheese and Pufnstuf were each the mayor of a fanciful land, but McCheese was a cheeseburger in pink formal wear while Pufnstuf was a dragon. By 1970 H.R. Pufnstuf was the top-rated Saturday morning TV show, and the Kroffts began getting calls from ad agencies hoping to get in on the action. www.straightdope.com /classics/a990827.html   (685 words)

Amazon.com: H.R. Pufnstuf - The Complete Series: DVD Pufnstuf, the island's mayor, is Jimmy's Glinda the Good Witch--as a friendly dragon with an aw-shucks accent. After Jimmy is rescued by Pufnstuf and his two deputies, Kling and Klang, his adventures begin as well as his attempts to get back home. I think the first thing that fans of the H.R. Pufnstuf series might find surprising is that there were only 17 episodes produced, and one of those is what amounts to a "clip" show. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00013F32G?v=glance   (2138 words)

The Krofft Oeuvre Aside from "Pufnstuf," the most enduring Krofft show was undoubtedly "Land of the Lost "(NBC, 1974-1977; reruns later appeared on CBS), which featured a dad (Spencer Milligan as Rick Marshall) and his two kids (Wesley Eure as Will and Kathy Coleman as Holly) who fell through a time tunnel and landed in the prehistoric age. Among the Krofft entries shown: "H.R. Pufnstuf," the original "Land of the Lost," "The Bugaloos," "ElectraWoman and DynaGirl," "Lidsville," "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters," and "The World of Sid and Marty Krofft Live at the Hollywood Bowl" featuring songs by Johnny Whitaker (from Sigmund), Jack Wild (from Pufnstuf), and The Brady [Bunch] Kids. Like many of the Krofft programs that would follow, "H.R. Pufnstuf" had a psychedelic quality that some have speculated was inspired by drug use by the show's producers. www.albany.net /~genxtv/krofft.html   (1483 words)
