There's actually not that much to discuss. Created in 1969 the show features a young boy Jimmy, and his talking flute, traveling to the magical Living Island which is essentially populated by proto-furries. The nemesis is Witchiepoo, who of course is a witch and wants the magical flute and to rule the land.

The theme song in the opening credits is legendary for the line "HR Pufnstuf, you can't do a little, cause you can't do enough". Admitted by one of the producers to be an advocacy for smoking weed. In a children's show. Opening and closing theme songs:

I watched this as a kid in the late '70s, probably re-runs as there were only about 17 episodes ever produced. I would sing along with the song as I watched. I was digging my truck out of the snow today and found myself humming the song as I worked.

There was some weird-rear end stuff on TV back in the day.

These days he'd absolutely be the poster boy for recreational marijuana.

K, that Gottfried podcast is hilarious.

The drug induced knock-off is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

I've actually learned a lot about the Kroffts from links in this thread. Goddamn they were/are prolific producers.
