This complete episodes skips the first episode which is shown in clips at the beginning of each episode. I remember that episode being acted out and the boat speaking to Jimmy to get in the boat etc. Also I remember one plot, maybe it's in that first episode, where the witch sees pictures Jimmy has in his wallet and thinks his family is wealthy. So she grows a beanstalk to climb into his world and get money from them. Jimmy and the gang chop it down right before she reaches the top & Jimmy felt bad he couldn't use the beanstalk to get home but at least he stopped the witch. That show is not in this "complete" set as far as I've seen scanning through episodes.
Also, I swear there was a second season because when I watched the show as a kid and they kept repeating shows, I recalled then how much older Jimmy looked in later episodes, plus his hair style was slightly different in the second season. I noticed the difference when the rotation of shows went from last episode to him jumping on that boat when it was repeated on television. In this collection Jimmy looks about the same age on episode 17 as he did on the first one. I swear this show had a second season of at least a few episodes. Episode Websites say there were only 17 episodes. But I remember distinctly how in the later shows Jimmy looked much older from the beginning song recap.
Does anyone else remember a second season and the first episode summary being a complete episode and the witch climbing up beanstalk to blackmail Jimmy's wealthy family?
If this box set were described as a first season I'd give it 5 stars for the quality of transfer and comentary on "first" episode in this collection. The individual interviews were bland. I would have preferred a documentary of the show incorporating clips and interviews and backstory. The individual interviews shown straight through felt like a bare minimum of effort for extras.
If you were a fan of this show this "complete" set is still worth the money and memories.

I remember this programme from my youth - however only vaguely. When I saw it for sale on Amazon.com I had to buy it as I wanted to remember more. I was expecting it to be nothing like I remembered as I have seen some of the old programmes from my youth and they have been nothing like I remembered them. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it was exactly as I remembered it.
I had forgotten a couple of the characters like Cling and Clang and Ludicrous Lion and of course there were my favourites, Witchiepoo on her broom broom and Freddie the Flute and Jimmy and HR Puffnstuff.
It was a trip down nostalgia lane and I loved every minute of it.
Many thanks.
Chris.

This is a must for all kids at heart and their kids. Puppetry is an art form that is better than computer generated effects. As an adult I enjoyed Witchiepoo's performance and all of the characters impersonating famous actors like John Wayne, WC Fields, Shirley Temple, Peter Lorre and James Cagney just to name a few. And at 40 I enjoyed falling in love all over again with "Jimmy" aka Jack Wild! So did my daugters!! In the age of computers and ipods our children have nothing creative to stimulate their imaginations. And all of the American Idols don't measure up to the musical talent of a dashing Jack Wild! All of the musical numbers Jack sings and dances to are fabulous! Our hearts broke when we found out that Jack lost his vocal chords before he died March 2006 at 53. Keep Jack's memory alive by sharing this with your children and your grandchildren. They will love you for giving them a fantasy world to play in that is full of fun and friendship. Look into getting the movie of Pufnstuff too! If enough people ask for it, perhaps it will be released on DVD.

I was happy with the purchase - it's nicely packaged, and I got to remember episodes I saw of this show when I was growing up. It's great for kids today as well - considering the amount of trash that's on tv these days. Pufnstuf was very creative and colorful for its time. Enjoy.

My daughters were thrilled with this memory of their childhood, and now are creating the memories with their kids. Great quality too.
