LOVED PufNStuff when I was a kid.....
Boy who played Jimmy died I think not that long ago, sad, thought he was real cute back then.
WitchyPoo was a riot! :p:

I remember seeing H.R. Pufnstuf live on stage at Six Flags Over Texas when I was four. I was a huge fan.

Just a few months ago, though, I caught an old episode on late night T.V., and quickly came to the opinion that drugs had to have been involved in the creation of this show. :rolleyes:

I used to live in North Hollywood, near the Burbank Airport (yes, I'm aware it is now called the Bob Hope Airport); mom worked at Lockheed then. There was a building near there that had a picture of H.R. Pufnstuf on it, and it was labeled Sid and Marty Krofft Productions, if memory serves. It wasn't until we moved from there in '95 that they removed the picture from the sign. After so many years of H.R. Pufnstuf being off the air at that time, I was amazed it was still up. Haven't been in that area since, though, but I assume the building is still there.

wow, that long?
as so many times as they were broken into and robbed, you would have thought the sign would have went down many years ago. lots of one of a kind props and costumes were stolen and damaged over the years.
Freddy the Flute was missing for like a decade. but also, where do you sell one of a kind stuff too.

Burbank Airport was a great place to fly in and out of when I worked for a company that was based in Westlake Village. The runways were a little short so the joke was just before landing you'd hear banging noises. They were cased by the wheels hitting antennas on cars in long term parking.

A guy I worked with was waiting for a flight there and witnessed the SWA flight that ran off the end of the runway and stopped for gas at the Standard station across the street.
