HR Pufnstuff

[AlmostFamous]

Anyone remember this show? Pinky, I know you have to.

Anyway, for some reason, they have it on TVLand.

I feel like I need to go do drugs. Lots of them.

[Sunfire]

Never heard of it!

It's about a boy with a talking whistle and a big, dumb dragon. Well, I think it is a dragon. I'm not really sure.

HR Puffn Stuff. Drug reference? I think so.

And the rest of the song is "You can't do a little cuz you can't get enough." Hmmmm.......

Look it up on Google or something so you can see what I'm talking about.

When was the show on Pinky? Late 60's, early 70's? I remember seeing it as a very young child but I think it was in syndication.

Actually, here are the full lyrics. I was close. But I believe the conotation remains the same.

H.R. Pufnstuff,
Who's your friend when things get rough?
H.R. Pufnstuff
Can't do a little cause he can't do enough.

Once upon a summertime
Just a dream from yesterday
A boy and his magic golden flute
Heard a boat from off the bay
"Come and play with me, Jimmy
Come and play with me.
And I will take you on a trip
Far across the sea."

But the boat belonged to a kooky old witch
Who had in mind the flute to snitch
From her broom broom in the sky
She watched her plans materialize
She waved her wand
The beautiful boat was gone
The skies grew dark
The sea grew rough
And the boat sailed on and on and on and on and on and on.

But Pufnstuff was watching too
And knew exactly what to do
He saw the witch's boat attack
And as the boy was fighting back
He called his rescue racer crew
As often they'd rehearsed
And off to save the boy they flew
But who would get there first?

But now the boy had washed ashore
Puf arrived to save the day
Which made the witch so mad and sore
She shook her first and screamed away.

H.R. Pufnstuff,
Who's your friend when things get rough?
H.R. Pufnstuff
Can't do a little cause he can't do enough.

H.R. Pufnstuff,
Who's your friend when things get rough?
H.R. Pufnstuff
Can't do a little cause he can't do enough.

Oh, I dunno...

BUT! That reminded me! Did you ever watch that movie w/ that cartoon green dragon thing? I LUFFED IT! But I forget what it was called... :(

[AlmostFamous]

That sounds vaguely familiar but I can't pinpoint it.

That's what happens when you get old............

[AlmostFamous]

Wait. I bet you are thinking of Puff the Magic Dragon.

No she's talking about Pete's Dragon. Great movie. :)

I remember hearing of H.R. Pufnstuff, but never watched it, so I don't recall when it was on. Probably between my childhood and having kids of my own, which is a pretty long span of time.

No she's talking about Pete's Dragon. Great movie. :)

I remember that movie! I also liked it! :p
