    Anyone remember H.R. Pufnstuf? And more importantly did it scare the crap out of any of you?

    http://www.jedisparadise.co.uk/index.htm?childrenstv/HR%20Pufnstuf/HR%20Pufnstuf.htm&1

    It was (re)shown on RTE in the 80's sometime I presume, as I wasn't born when it went out first. I remember having dreams about it as a kid, but never knew the name of the program until I stumbled across it today.

    I can see why it's "always been rumour[ed] that the show's owners were influenced by drugs". Talking flutes, trees etc.. no wonder it freightened five year old Harry!

    Any similar experiences?

    One of the first programs I can remember from infancy

    I liked it, didn't find it scary at all

    This on the other hand scared the bejaysus out of me

    Catweazle, brilliant! I still call the telephone a tellingbone and as for electrickery... Used to love that. Never really liked Pufnstuf though, thought it was for babies.

    I have only vague memories of Catweasel. It probably wasn't repeated at a time when I would have encountered it. It looks like something I would have enjoyed though... looks like Worzel Gummidge on drugs.

    Mental note: add tellingbone and electrickery to vocabulary, and use in everyday situations.. I wish I worked for the Electrickery Supply Board or Tellingbone Eireann

    I was too young to understand the time travel bit - it was just some freaky looking guy acting weirdly :D
