H.R. Pufnstuf is an American children's television series created bySid and Marty Krofft. It was the first independent live-action, life-sized-puppet program, following on from their work withHanna-Barbera's programThe Banana Splits Adventure Hour.^[1] The seventeen episodes were originally broadcast Saturday from September 6, 1969, to December 27, 1969. The broadcasts were successful enough thatNBC kept it on the schedule as reruns until September 4, 1971. The show was shot atParamount Studios and its opening was shot atBig Bear Lake, California. Reruns of the show returned onABC 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 September 1974 to June 1978 and in a package with six other Krofft series under the bannerKrofft Superstars from 1978 to 1985. Reruns of the show were featured onTV Land in 1999 as part of its Super Retrovision Saturdaze Saturday morning-related overnight prime programming block and in the summer of 2004 as part of its TV Land Kitschen weekend late-night prime programming block, and it was later shown onMeTV from 2014 until 2016.

In 2004 and 2007,H.R. Pufnstuf was ranked No. 22 and No. 27 respectively onTV Guide's Top Cult Shows Ever.^[2][3]

Fast food chainMcDonald's later emulated aspects of the series for its long-running advertising campaign "McDonaldland", and the company was successfullysued by the Krofft brothers in 1977 forcopyright infringement.^[4][5]

The Kroffts created the H.R. Pufnstuf character for theHemisFair '68 World's Fair, where they produced a show calledKaleidoscope for theCoca-Cola pavilion. The character's name was Luther, and he became a mascot for the fair.^[6]

H.R. Pufnstuf introduced the Kroffts' most-used plot scenario of a fairy tale of good versus evil, as well as their second plot scenario of the stranger in a strange land.^[1] The show centered on a shipwrecked boy named Jimmy, portrayed by teenage actorJack Wild. He is 11 years old when he arrives on the island and turns 12 in the episode called "The Birthday Party." Jimmy and a talking flute named Freddy take a ride on a mysterious boat, but the boat is actually owned by a wicked witch named Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo (portrayed byBillie Hayes) who rides on a broomstick-vehicle called the Vroom Broom. She uses the boat to lure Jimmy and Freddy to her castle on Living Island, where she intends to take Jimmy prisoner and steal Freddy for her own purposes.

The Mayor of Living Island is a friendly and helpful anthropomorphic dragon named H.R. Pufnstuf, performed by Roberto Gamonet and voiced by the show's writerLennie Weinrib, who also voiced many of the other characters. The dragon rescues Jimmy and protects him from Witchiepoo, as his cave is the only place where her magic has no effect.

All of the characters on Living Island were realized by large, cumbersome costumes or puppetry of anthropomorphic animals and objects. Everything was alive on the island, including houses, boats, clocks, candles, and so forth; virtually any part of the Living Island sets could become a character, usually voiced in a parody of a famous film star such asMae West,Edward G. Robinson, orJohn Wayne.

• Jimmy (portrayed byJack Wild) – A young English human who was lured to Living Island by an enchanted boat. Witchiepoo controlled the boat with the aim of stealing Jimmy's magic talking flute named Freddy.
• H.R. Pufnstuf (performed by Roberto Gamonet, voiced byLennie Weinrib) – A friendlydragon who is theMayor of Living Island.
• Freddy theFlute (voiced byJoan Gerber) – A magic talking flute that is owned by Jimmy. He is often targeted by Witchiepoo.
• Cling and Clang (performed by Joy Campbell andAngelo Rossitto) – Two short mutepolice officers who work for H.R. Pufnstuf as his Rescue Racer Crew. Cling wears red and Clang wears green. Although they appear vaguely animal-like with their beaked faces, and furry three-toed feet, the Kroffts have said they are actually bells, hence their names, but there are police officers in Pippi Longstocking named Cling and Clang as well.
• Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo (portrayed byBillie Hayes) – The primaryantagonist of the series, inspired byMargaret Hamilton's portrayal of theWicked Witch of the West. Witchiepoo is a wicked but ineffectivewitch who has been targeting Freddy the Flute. She rides a large rocket-powered broom with a steering wheel called the Vroom Broom. She is cruel to everyone around her, even her henchmen, whom she constantly whacks with her wand. Yet when faced with failure, Witchiepoo usually starts to pity herself by asking "Why me"?
  • OrsonVulture (performed by Joy Campbell, voiced byLennie Weinrib, imitatingFrank Nelson) – A stuffy, somewhat inept vulture who is one of Witchiepoo's henchmen. As her favorite flunky, hemultitasks as her sounding board operator,butler, and co-pilot on her Vroom Broom. Orson once made the mistake of asking what the W. in his boss's name stood for. The answer: WHACK!
  • SeymourSpider (performed byAngelo Rossitto, voiced byWalker Edmiston) – A dim-witted "spider" (appearance as a furry orangeogre with eight limbs) who is another of Witchiepoo's henchmen. As her second favorite flunky, he primarily serves her as her hairdresser and an alternative sounding board operator when Orson was busy.
  • StupidBat (performed bySharon Baird, voiced byLennie Weinrib) – A bat who is the least favorite and least seen of Witchiepoo's henchmen. He mainly serves as her messenger. As his name implies, Stupid Bat is not very bright and his messages are usually delivered one second too late.
  • Skeleton Guards – Two skeletons who guard Witchiepoo's castle. They are easily spooked and will often run from danger in a flash, but not before their armor and capes fly off in a cartoonish fashion.

• Dr. Blinky (performed byJohnny Silver, voiced by Walker Edmiston impersonatingEd Wynn) – Anowl who is Living Island's localphysician andscientist. Dr. Blinky is also the head of H.R. Pufnstuf's "Anti-Smog, Pollution, and Witch Committee". Other characters (including Polka-Dotted Horse) fear his medical incompetence and are terrified at the prospect of being treated by him.
• JudyFrog (performed bySharon Baird, voiced byJoan Gerber) – A singing, dancing frog who is one of H.R. Pufnstuf's friends and the resident entertainer. Judy is based onJudy Garland, whom Sid Krofft had previously toured with and opened for.
• Pop Lolly (voiced by Lennie Weinrib) – A livinglollipop who makes and sells candy and other sweet goods.
  • Cheese Guards – Two guards that are living pieces ofcheese who work for Pop Lolly. They would often help Pop Lolly fend off a group of Hippie Ants who want to have free candy.
• LudicrousLion (performed byJohnny Silver, voiced by Walker Edmiston impersonatingW. C. Fields) – A lion who works as apeddler and owns a horse-drawn wagon. He is quite cunning and not always so honest when it comes to money. Although slightly shady and greedy, he is officially one of the Good Guys since he would often help to thwart Witchiepoo's plots.
  • Polka-DottedHorse (performed byFelix Silla, voiced by Lennie Weinrib) – A good-natured but dim-witted horse who works for Ludicrous Lion.
• Tick Tock (performed by Andy Ratoucheff, voiced by Lennie Weinrib) – A mobilealarm clock that warns the good characters when Witchiepoo is coming and informs them of various other dangers.
• Grandfather Clock (voiced by Walker Edmiston) – A mobile grandfather clock who is married to Grandmother Clock.
• Grandmother Clock (voiced by Joan Gerber) – A mobile grandmother clock who is married to Grandfather Clock.

• Hippie Ants - A group ofants that would try to have free candy from Pop Lolly.
• The Boyds - A bunch ofbirds that serve as Living Island's residential band. The Boyds are based onThe Byrds.

• Shirlee Pufnstuf (performed by Sharon Baird, voiced by Joan Gerber impersonating a youngerShirley Temple) – Adragon who is H.R. Pufnstuf's sister and a famous actress.
• Max von Toadenoff the Great (voiced by Lennie Weinrib) – A monocledtoad who works as afilm director. Max von Toadenoff the Great is based onErich von Stroheim, but named forAkim Tamiroff.
• The GoodTrees – Several walking, talking trees who always help out H.R. Pufnstuf and the good guys. In the filmPufnstuf, the song "Living Island" described them as the "Hippie Trees of Peace and Love". They consist of:
  • Hippie Tree (voiced by Lennie Weinrib) – A tree with sunglasses and dreadlocks who often speaks in hippie slang.
  • Madame Willow (voiced by Joan Gerber) – Also known as the Dowager Tree, Madame Willow is an older,elitist female tree with alorgnette.
  • Chief Redwood (voiced by Walker Edmiston) – Also known as the Indian Tree, Chief Redwood dons a feathered headdress and speaks in the fashion of a stereotypical melodramaticNative American.
  • There is an older, male tree who may or may not be the husband of Madame Willow.
  • There is another female tree whose lips are always in the shape of an "O".
  • There is a baby tree.
• The EvilTrees – Three trees on Witchiepoo's side that speak in aTransylvanian accent.
  • Evil Tree #1 – (voiced by Lennie Weinrib impersonatingBéla Lugosi) – The leader of the Evil Trees.
  • Evil Tree #2 (voiced by Walker Edminston impersonatingPeter Lorre) –.
  • Evil Tree #3 (voiced by Lennie Weinrib) – A tree that always speaks in rhyme.
• TheMushrooms – A group of talking mushrooms on Witchiepoo's side that turn whoever touches them into mushrooms. The mushroom leader smokes acigar and speaks likeJames Cagney.
• The Crustaceans – They are shown in several episodes as well as the closing theme song, somecrab-like characters who are never named or introduced. There is a family of them, much like the living clocks and the living trees. They almost never say anything, but one of them has a couple of brief lines in "The Almost Election of Witchiepoo."
• Witchiepoo'sCastle – A talking, living entity that is home to Witchiepoo and her minions. There is also a door inside the castle that is a separate living entity as well as living pillars.
• Dr. Blinky'sHouse – A broken down house, propped up with crutches with a bandage on one side and an ice pack atop its chimney. It suffers from explosive sneezing that it has no control over. This usually sends Pufnstuf and friends running for cover, although it has been occasionally used to thwart Witchiepoo's plans enough for her to tell the house to cover its door when it sneezes. It houses several other inanimate talking characters such asfireplace (who speaks likeEdward G. Robinson), atest tube (voiced by Walker Edmiston) and a candle (voiced by Walker Edmiston). There is a talkinghuman skull (who speaks likeBoris Karloff) and a few talkingbooks, one of which is named Charlie (voiced by Lennie Weinrib). Charlie's brother, an evil black book of spells, is kept on Witchiepoo's nightstand.
• TheWinds – The Winds of Living Island are often called upon by H.R. Pufnstuf to blow Witchiepoo out of the sky. They consist of theNorth Wind (voiced by Walker Edmiston in a shivering voice), theSouth Wind (voiced byJoan Gerber in a southern belle voice), theEast Wind (voiced by Walker Edmiston in a Chinese accent), and theWest Wind (voiced by Lennie Weinrib impersonatingJohn Wayne).

After creating costumes for characters in the live-action portion ofThe Banana Splits Adventure Hour, Sid and Marty Krofft were asked to develop their own Saturday morning children's series forNBC. The plot was recycled fromKaleidoscope, a live puppet show the Kroffts had staged in theCoca-Cola pavilion of theHemisFair '68 World's Fair. It included several key characters from this show, such as Luther the dragon and a silly witch.^[7] Other ideas were cultivated from Sid's life. As a child, he had charged friends buttons, not pennies, to view puppet shows in his back yard;^[8] buttons were standard currency on Living Island. Sid and Marty had toured with their puppets as the opening act for Judy Garland, and they based Judy the Frog on her.^[9] Ludicrous Lion bears more than a passing resemblance to Irving, the eponymous lion in apilot they had made in 1957 calledHere's Irving.

Sid's friendLionel Bart asked him to view a rough cut of the movie adaptation ofOliver! Sid took notice of young actor Jack Wild and immediately decided that he was the kid whom he wanted to play the lead in his television series.^[10] Only two actresses auditioned to play Witchiepoo. The first was then-unknownPenny Marshall.^[10] Stage veteranBillie Hayes came in next, set into a maniacal cackle and hopped up on a desk. She was given the part on the spot.^[7]

For Marty Krofft, the production was a particular headache. Marty accepted guardianship ofJack Wild while the teenage boy was in the United States filming the show.^[7] He later described bringing Wild into his home as a mistake, considering that he already had his hands full with two young daughters.^[7]

Like most children's television shows of the era,H.R. Pufnstuf contained alaugh track, the inclusion of which the Kroffts were initially against. Sid Krofft commented "We were sort of against that, but Si Rose — being in sitcoms — he felt that when the show was put together that the children would not know when to laugh." Marty Krofft added "the bottom line — it's sad — you gotta tell them when it's funny. And the laugh track, (Si) was right. It was necessary, as much as we were always looking to have areal laugh track,a real audience. In comedies, if you don't have them (laugh track), you're in big trouble, because if you don't hear a laugh track, it's not funny. And that's the way the audience (at home) was programmed to view these shows."^[11]

H.R. Pufnstuf appeared in a segment ofSigmund and the Sea Monsters, and along with Witchiepoo in theLidsville episode "Have I Got a Girl For Hoo Doo", where Hoo Doo conjures Pufnstuf as Witchiepoo's date for a witches' dance.The Krofft Superstar Hour also involved characters in two segmentsThe Lost Island (which H.R. Pufnstuf was in) andHorror Hotel (in which Witchiepoo, Orson Vulture, Seymour Spider, and Stupid Bat are featured with Hoodoo). The Kroffts also loaned out the character, with Hayes reprising her role, forThe Paul Lynde Halloween Special, in which she appears as the sister of theWicked Witch of the West (portrayed byMargaret Hamilton).

The show's theme song, titled "H.R. Pufnstuf", was written byLes Szarvas but is also credited toPaul Simon. Simon's credit was added when he successfully sued The Kroffts, claiming that the theme too closely mimicked his song "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)".^[12] He is credited as the song's co-writer in TeeVee Tunes'sTelevision's Greatest Hits Volume 5: In Living Color.^[13]

A cover of the show's theme song, performed byThe Murmurs, is included on the 1995tribute albumSaturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits, produced byRalph Sall forMCA Records.

All episodes were directed by Hollingsworth Morse and written by Lennie Weinrib and Paul Harrison. (Robert Ridolphi also co-wrote Episode 1 "The Magic Path".)

While the television series was still in production, the Kroffts were approached to do a film adaptation.^[16] A joint venture betweenUniversal Pictures and the show's sponsorKellogg's Cereal,^[17] the 1970 film retained most of the cast and crew from the series and featured guest appearances byCass Elliot as Witch Hazel andMartha Raye as Boss Witch. The movie was finally released onVHS in 2001 byUniversal Home Video as part of its Universal Treasures Collection and onDVD on May 19, 2009.^[18] The film also included Googy Gopher, Orville Pelican, and Boss Witch's chauffeur Heinrich Rat, who were exclusive to the movie. A difference in the film is that the characters that had been voiced by Lennie Weinrib were each voiced byAllan Melvin andDon Messick.

The Kroffts have long had plans for a newH.R. Pufnstuf film. Sony first attempted a remake in 2000, but dropped the project.^[19] Eight years later, Sony again announced development on the project.^[20]

A number of stage show tours were run in the United States starring the characters from the show. "H.R. Pufnstuf & The Brady Kids Live at the Hollywood Bowl" was performed and recorded in 1973. This performance was released on VHS in 1997.^{[citation needed]}

In 1970, H.R. Pufnstuf was featured in a float at theRose Parade in Pasadena, featuring the cast from the show.^{[citation needed]}

An elaborate H.R. Pufnstuf puppet show was featured at The Sid and Marty Krofft Puppet Theater at Six Flags Over Mid-Missouri in 1971. H.R. Pufnstuf and his pals Cling and Clang also made life-size appearances at the park. A section of the 1971 Six Flags Over Mid-Missouri map shows the location of the theater near entrance to the park's Sky-Way Ride.^[21]

In 2004,Rhino Entertainment/Rhino Retrovision releasedH.R. Pufnstuf: The Complete Series, featuring all 17 episodes on three discs, remastered and uncut, accompanied by interviews with Sid & Marty Krofft, Billie Hayes, and Jack Wild.Pufnstuf, a major motion picture released in 1970, was also released on May 19, 2009, byUniversal Studios. SMK andVivendi Entertainment has obtained the home video rights to the series and released the complete series on January 11, 2011. Two versions of the release exist; one is a traditional complete series set, while the other is a collector's set, featuring a bobble-head of H.R. Pufnstuf. The series is also available in Digital media format atiTunes Store.

In theUnited Kingdom, during 1986,Channel 5 Video released the opening three episodes of the television series on VHS.

The show was the subject of a successfulU.S. federallawsuit brought by the Kroffts against thefast food restaurantMcDonald's, whoseMcDonaldland characters were found to have infringed the show'scopyright. The case,Sid & Marty Krofft Television Productions Inc. v. McDonald's Corp., 562 F.2d 1157, was decided by theU.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 1977.^[4]

The Krofft brothers have responded in several interviews to popular beliefs that subtlerecreational drug references exist in the show.^[22][23][24] For example, the title character's namePufnstuf has been interpreted as a reference to smoking hand-rolled (H.R.)marijuana (puffin' stuff);^{[22][23][24][25][26][27]} Marty Krofft has said the initialsH.R. actually stand for "Royal Highness" backwards.^[26][27] The show's theme song lyric "he can't do a little, 'cause he can't do enough" has been read as referring to the addictive nature of drugs. Pufnstuf has quotes like "Whoa, dude!" and other "hippie" slang words.Lennie Weinrib, the show's head writer and the voice of Pufnstuf, has said, "I think fans gave it a kind of mysterious code-like meaning, like 'Ah, was Pufnstuf puffing stuff? Like grass?' Was it psychedelic? Was it drug oriented? Not to us, it wasn't."^[28][29] In a 2000 interview, Marty Krofft answered the question by saying, "The Krofft look has a lot of color, but there were no drug connotations in the show." He addressed the topic at length in an interview with theSt. Louis Post-Dispatch in 2004, in response to the question, "OK, let's get this right out in the open. IsH.R. Pufnstuf just one giant drug reference?":

We've heard that for 35 years. We did not intentionally do anything related to drugs in the story. People thought we were on drugs. You can't do good television while on drugs. People never believe you when you say that, but you can't. The shows were very bright and spacey looking. They may have lent themselves to that culture at the time, but we didn't ascribe that meaning to them, and I can't speak to what adults were doing when they were watching the shows. We just set out to make a quality children's program.

Authors of books on the show and its contemporaries, however, have not always accepted the Kroffts' alternative explanations for apparent references to drugs. David Martindale, author ofPufnstuf & Other Stuff, maintains that the Kroffts' desire to attract an audience who are now parents of impressionable children pushes them to downplay thedouble entendres: "But to deny it, the shows lose some of their mystique. The Kroffts prefer to remain playfully vague."^[22] Martindale said in another interview that he fully believes Marty Krofft's insistence that he did not use drugs, especially given that Marty's focus was that of a businessman, but Martindale describes Sid Krofft as "a big kid" and "a hippy", saying, "His comment when I told him we were going to do this book was—and I quote—'Oh, far out.' He says these shows didn't come from smoking just a little pot, and you could say, 'Oh, yeah. It comes from smoking a lot of pot.' But I think he was very deliberately doing double meanings so the show could amuse people on different levels."^[30]

Kevin Burke, co-author ofSaturday Morning Fever: Growing Up with Cartoon Culture, argues that the "consistency of thought" in the rumors of drug references has a basis, although his co-author and brother Timothy Burke, a history professor atSwarthmore College, insists "human beings are capable of achieving hallucinatory heights without chemical assistance."^[22] Contradicting his own position, Marty Krofft has neither admitted nor hinted in occasional interviews that the references were made knowingly; in one case, a writer reported that when pressed as to the connotation of "lids" in the titleLidsville, "Well, maybe we just had a good sense of humor", Krofft said, laughing.^[27] His comments to another interviewer were more direct; in aTimes Union profile whose author observed, "Watching the shows today, it's hard to imagine a show with more wink-and-nod allusions to pot culture, short of something featuring characters namedSpliffy andBong-O", Krofft conceded that the show's title had been an intentional marijuana reference, as hadLidsville, but "that was just a prank to see if they could get them past clueless NBC executives".^[31]

He is pulled over by Ponch (Erik Estrada) and Jon (Larry Wilcox) on one of Los Angeles' numerous freeways. Though he was referred to by name, while Jon maintained a sense of decorum about the actor inside the Pufnstuf suit, he let the good Mayor Pufnstuf off with a warning.
