Episode 098

H.R. Pufinstuf. We grew up just accepting that it was a show. But honestly, why was it a show!? A British song and dance boy with a flute shipwrecks on an island full of puppets!? Why not? The minds of Sid and Marty Krofft were fertile with fantastical tales of flying pop stars and dancing hats and talking seaweed. Expect music, color, magic and plenty of puppets in the world of Sid and Marty Krofft! The iconic Marty Krofft joins us for an inside peek into that world. He’s talking about Pufinstuf, Lidsville, Sigmund the Sea Monster, Land of the Lost, Donny and Marie and, of course, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour! Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending George Carlin’s American Dream on HBO and The First Lady on Showtime.
