  • H.R. Pufnstuf is a children's television series produced by Sid and Marty Krofft in the United States. It was the first Krofft live-action, life-sized-puppet program (not including their previous work with the Hanna-Barbera program The Banana Splits Adventure Hour). The seventeen episodes were originally broadcast Saturday mornings from September 6, 1969, to December 27, 1969. The broadcasts were successful enough that NBC kept it on the schedule until August 1972. The show was shot at Paramount Studios and its opening was shot at Big Bear Lake, California. Reruns of the show aired on ABC 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 banner Krofft Superstars from 1978 to 1985. Reruns of the show were featured on TV 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 on MeTV from 2014 until 2016. In 2004 and 2007, H.R. Pufnstuf was ranked #22 and #27 respectively on TV Guide's Top Cult Shows Ever. Fast food chain McDonald's later plagiarized the series' concept for its long-running advertising campaign McDonaldland, and the company was successfully sued by the Krofft brothers for the copyright infringement.

  • H.R. Pufnstuf fue un programa infantil producido por Sid y Marty Krofft en los Estados Unidos. El show constó de diecisiete episodios, emitidos desde el 6 de septiembre de 1969 hasta el 27 de diciembre de 1969, pero era tan exitosa que la NBC la mantenía en el horario matutino del sábado para las tres temporadas completas. La cadena ABC transmitió la repetición de la serie por más de dos temporadas desde el 16 de septiembre de 1972 hasta el 1 de septiembre de 1974. H.R. Pufnstuf introdujo el escenario del argumento más utilizado por los Kroffts, girando alrededor de un muchacho llamado Jimmy (interpretado por ), que incidentalmente se encuentra con la Isla Viva, un lugar mágico donde todo estaba vivo. El alcalde de Isla Viva era un amigable dragón llamado H.R. Pufnstuf, cuya voz fue prestada por la del escritor del programa, . Jimmy había sido atraído con engaños a la isla con su amigo, una flauta parlante llamada Freddie, por un mágico barco que le ofreció tener aventuras a través del mar. El barco era en realidad poseído y controlado por su némesis, una traviesa bruja llamada , interpretada por Billie Hayes, que paseaba en una escoba con volante llamada Vroom Broom. Jimmy estaba con Pufnstuf, quien pudo protegerlo dentro de la cueva donde vivía, pues era un lugar inmune a la magia. Aparte de Witchiepoo, el resto de los personajes en Isla Viva estaban realizados generalmente, a través de abultados disfraces o títeres. Puesto que todo en Isla Viva tenía vida—casas, castillos, barcos, relojes abuelos, velas, libros, árboles, hongos—cualquier parte del escenario de Isla Viva podía convertirse en un personaje, generalmente utilizando la voz en una parodia de un famoso actor de cine, tal como Mae West, Edward G. Robinson o más notablemente John Wayne como "The West Wind" (El Viento del Oeste). La popularidad del show a finales de los años 60s y principios de los años 1970 provocó el estreno de una película basada en el programa, llamada , en 1970. La película contó con apariciones de actores invitados como Mama Cass Elliot y Martha Raye. El programa y la película fueron notables por los colores brillantes, montajes rápidos, rodaje acelerado, segmentos musicales y bromas en torno a la cultura pop, lo que atraía a los adultos jóvenes casi tanto como a los niños. La serie completa fue estrenada en DVD de estuche decorado en Estados Unidos en febrero de 2004. La película también se encuentra disponible en VHS, producción recientemente salida a la venta. (es)

  • 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. (en)
