    This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

    I have tried to find the serious answer to what H.R. Pufnstuf's initials stand for. But i can't find it anywhere. Does ANYBODY have the answer to this? (aside from the "home rolled"). Also, does anyone know if Jimmy ever got home? I remember watching the show when i was a kid (born in 1962), i hated it, but for some reason i would always watch it. I'm not sure as to why i watched it, i just did. Some of the Sid and Marty Krofts later shows i really liked. Such as "ELECTROWOMAN AND DYNAGIRL" (probably because i was a early teen male and pretty women in tights definitely kept my attention), and the other was called "DR. SHRINKER". And there was one more called "LIDDSVILLE" (i think). Probably because i thought that Charles Nelson Riley was a riot. Does anyone else remember any of these along with of course H.R. Pufnstuf? I feel like a kid again just talking bout these shows. Thanks.

    H.R. Puffenstuff was a favorite of mine and a wonderful memory of my childhood innocence. I also found that it helped to aid me in the formation of a greater creative imagination! This has been helpful in many endeavors such as; some short stories I once wrote, as well as the development and discovery of the possibilities that life holds for us. H.R. Puffenstuff, Jack Wilde, Withchie Poo, etc. are like mythical characters who have appeared at some point in my life and I feel the show gave me inspiration in learning to deal with these types of people/situations, and other challenges in my life. Unlike some who may have disliked the show, I found it to be an entertaining and truly enjoyable part of my young life. Thanks to all for helping me to recover some of the lost memories.

    as children we grew up on this program. the music and themes were great but hey what did we know we were children. i can still sing the h r puffenstuff song 35 years later. all i remember is that we waited every for every Saturday morning to see this program. i never understood the drug reference til i got a lot older. The show followed a little boy with a magic flute that could talk. witchiepoo was always trying to trap the little boy and steal his flute and she actually did capture him a couple of times but hr puffenstuf saved the day. h r puffenstuff looked like mayor mc cheese and looked like something out of the muppets rather then Saturday morning animation. this guy could have easily done a cameo on the muppets. The show was cheesy however most of the shows for that time period were pretty cheesy but it was junk food for the brain. we simply have to say thanks to Sid and Marty kroft for a great show because it did keep us occupied on those cold Saturday mornings

    This show, and many other Krofft programs (i.e. Lidsville and Land of the Lost), scared the hell out of me. In 1979 HR was deep in syndication, but that didn't stop a 4 year old from finding it. You'd sit down and watch, allured by the surreality, the "stranger in a strange land" themes and the larger than life puppet-like characters. You'd expect a benign Sesame Street-like program full of soft freindly characters. But in the land of Krofft all things are slightly twisted, mysterious, surreal. Just look at the expressions they've sewn into the faces of the characters. Dark man, dark. You'd be a little tense for the first 15 minutes, but then Freddy the Flute would bite Witchiepoo on the finger or some hitherto inanimate object would turn around and talk and freak the hell out of you, push you right over the cliff into full throttle terror... I remember crying hysterically and trying explain to my grandmother the freaky stuff that just went down on TV. She probably thought I was crazy. This stuff permeated my dreams and nightmares for years. I deeply repressed all things Krofft and then around age 20 learned that this show actually existed. Boy was I relieved, I hadn't made it all up. Absolutely priceless program, I've got some on tape. Remember the sleestak? Enik? Chaka? That's a whole nother source of Freudian terror.
