Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Once upon a time, during the tail end of the psychedelic sixties, a program appeared that captured the imagination of children as much as the tenor of the times. Not that H.R. Pufnstuf, which premiered on NBC in 1969, dealt with heavy topics like the Vietnam War. Instead, this colorful Sid and Marty Krofft creation mixed live action with puppetry and kept things groovy with song, dance, bad puns, trippy sets, and wacky sound effects. Like The Wizard of Oz and "Puff the Magic Dragon," its charming innocence appealed as much to kids as to the kinds of adults who flocked to Pee-wee's Playhouse and SpongeBob SquarePants in later years. The story begins when Jimmy (Oliver!'s Jack Wild) is tricked by Witchiepoo (Billie Hayes) into taking a boat ride on a sunny day. Next thing he knows he's stranded on Living Island, where everything--the houses, the trees--talks. And Witchiepoo is endlessly scheming to steal Freddie, his magical golden flute (or "Fweddie" as Wild pronounces it). Pufnstuf, the island's mayor, is Jimmy's Glinda the Good Witch--as a friendly dragon with an aw-shucks accent. Throughout these 17 episodes, Jimmy and Puf are joined by Dr. Blinky, Cling and Clang, and a host of other odd, but benevolent characters. Witchiepoo meanwhile, has Orson Vulture and Seymour Spider on her (dark) side. Standout episodes include "Mechanical Boy," in which Jimmy "does the robot"--years before the dawn of disco--and "Dinner for Two Please Orson," in which Blinky's Time Machine malfunctions and Jimmy is turned into an old man--who Witchiepoo plans to marry! With H.R. Pufnstuf, the Kroffts (Lidsville, The Bugaloos) combined the best qualities of the top shows of its time, like Laugh-In and The Monkees, and created something fresh and new that's just as relevant--and irreverent--today. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

In one word: charming. Not only the time travel to our own childhood but the meaning of the plot itself that fits children of all times. Highly recommendable to all the families.

I was glad to find that H.R. Pufnstuf was released to DVD, and bought it for myself and to share with my 6 year old daughter. There are no heavy messages and few attempts to educate a child (other than the time-tested message that Good outtrumps Evil). Instead, it's just fun stories, silly songs, Billy Wild's wonderful accent, and a good time for every member of the family. Billie Hayes does a delightful Witchie-Poo, and the cast of puppets and other creatures are a lot of fun.

Pufnstuf was a beloved show from my childhood and I was glad to find it available on DVD to bring to my grandson. The quality of the DVD brings it all back to life and my grandson is enchanted with it also.

I loved this classic but have had serious problems with disc 1. I see two people commented on this but no one else? I bought two different sets, from different vendors and the same identical disc 1 issues are there. Does anyone have any advise? Did Rhino offer fixed disc?
