"H.R. Pufnstuf" Characters To Make TV Return in Nickelodeon Special

"H.R. Pufnstuf" lives!

The puppet dragon at the center of Sid and Marty Krofft’s late 1960s, live-action children’s series — and some of his friends — will be part of a Mutt & Stuff special on Nickelodeon in early 2016, the network announced Tuesday.

Per the official description of the special, which is part of an additional 20-episode order for the kiddie show:

“Stuff’s favorite uncle H.R. Pufnstuf decides to visit him at the canine school. When H.R. Pufnstuf arrives with his friends from Living Island, Stuff goes overboard in an attempt to impress him and make sure everything is perfect.”

Those “friends” include Cling and Clang, Freddie the Flute and the Rescue Racer, names familiar to fans of the short-run original series-turned-cult classic.

“H.R. Pufnstuf was the first TV show my brother and I created, so it has always held a special place in our hearts,” Marty Krofft said in a statement.

“Our fans constantly ask us to bring back Pufnstuf, and we feel the vibrant world of Mutt & Stuff is the perfect setting to revitalize these colorful characters and build excitement for new fans.”

That means Billie Hayes was in her late 30's when she played Witchie Poo! Wow! And it's sad that Jack Wild is no longer with us. It's cool that Sid and Marty Kroft are still around though!
