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.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
mark-vincent-aus This hateful production showcases all of the most negative emotions as the feature entertainment.The poor lighting only added a creepy sinister element to this series and the genuine fear that most of the characters portrayed toward the bully arch villain as a result of ongoing intimidation. The impact seems to be to promote fear and deep seated loathing in the minds of sensitive kids who watch it.Show this to kids and you are guaranteed to screw them up. And its legal! Do not be surprised if there is a class action when those kids realise the subliminal damage done by watching this program all those years ago.
barneyr54 My name is Andrew Leitch. I live in Melbourne, Australia.I hadn't seen this show for 25 years until today and it sent chills through me. Our local TV station aired it today (channel 2,abc) Australia. I was very young when this first came out and grew up on the series. I know that my young niece would love this type of film. She has just turned three. Could someone please tell me how to purchase a copy of this movie in a converted DVD copy or in original video format. I have been on the internet and every response has been very vague. Can someone please help? Thank you!
ertai_wizard632000 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
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.
