Synopsis

H.R. Pufnstuf is a children's television series produced by Sid and Marty Krofft in the United States. It was the first Krofft live-action, life-size puppet program. The seventeen episodes were originally broadcast from September 6, 1969 to December 27, 1969. The broadcasts were successful enough that NBC kept it on the Saturday morning schedule until August 1972. The show was shot in Paramount Studios and its opening was shot in Big Bear Lake, California. Reruns of the show aired on ABC Saturday morning from September 2, 1972 to September 8, 1973 and on Sunday mornings in some markets from September 16, 1973 to September 8, 1974. It was syndicated by itself from 1974 to 1978 and in a package with six other Kroft series under the banner Kroft Superstars from 1978 to 1985. In 2004 and 2007, H.R. Pufnstuf was ranked #22 and #27 on TV Guide's Top Cult Shows Ever.

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
dbrinkley-1 This is the stuff great memories are made of! At 40 I have not only fallen in love with Jack Wild again, but I adore the entire series even more as an adult. Perhaps it is because Witchipoo and all of the other characters were directed toward adults. As adults we now know the old movie actors they were portraying like John Wayne, Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, W.C. Fields, Jimmy Cagney, Peter Lorre and Edward G. Robinson just to name a few. My daughters have also fallen in love with Jack Wild and adore the series too. They love it when Jack sings and dances because they loved him in Oliver. We only wished that the musical numbers Jack did were longer!! We could watch an entire half hour of nothing but Jack Wild singing and dancing. "How Lucky I Am" to have grown up with Jack Wild and now he is a second generation idol to my daughters. What other actors do you know have this lasting charm? May Jack sing and dance for eternity. We love you Jack!!
yeley I cannot recommend this show highly enough! It is a major reason that I grew up with the wild imagination I still have to this day! Along with Lidsville and Sigmund and the Seamonsters, Pufnstuf was a staple of my Saturday morning. I taught a group of high school kids last year. A few of them somehow found out about the show. We started talking and then one of them came back the next day with the DVD set! He bought all the episodes and a new generation was exposed to the big goofy dinosaur. They loved it! Now I need to show it to some younger kids and get them influenced early by Pufnstuf, Witchiepoo, Freddy, Jimmy, and the rest! HR Pufnstuf is a classic. Pufnstuf even went on stage with the Brady Kids at one of their cheesy concerts at the Hollywood Bowl ! The late 60's early 70's were a great time to be a kid. A big dinosaur puppet became a teen idol !
Jordan_Haelend I've seen this on tape and I think it's really great! It's surreal and funny, and any kid who ever had an imaginary playmate would enjoy it.The people who created this series were obviously given quite a bit of leeway and let their imaginations run (pardon the pun) Wild.
Brian Washington This had to be one of the trippiest shows ever. This, of course, was the Krofft brothers first series since leaving Hanna-Barbera and it is definitely their most enduring. The Kroffts had a very vivid imagination. In fact it was so vivid that many people through the years accused them of being on drugs when coming up with many of their early shows. This show definitely should be shown in reruns.
