I do. I remember it came on right before the rest of the Krofft Superstars. It was a Saturday morning fav.
I remember all of those Krofft shows. Remember Seymour and the Seamonster, or Electri Woman and Dyna Girl? I was talking to someone about all of those just a few months ago. Theyw ere our age, and did't remember any of it. I always thought the funniest thing about those shows was how *blatantly* drug-culture inspired they were... Puffnstuff????
Someone (McFarlane Toys maybe) recently put out H.R. Puffnstuff action figures.
I was watching a thing about Mr. Rogers this morning and I realized, exactly how different his show was. He never tought us to read or to write, or our colors, shapes, numbers... he tought us about feelings. He talked about things like divorce, and feeling feeling different from others, and special needs. In the thing I was watching he said that he got into TV because he *hated* TV; he wanted to change it. He really, really was a unique figure.
