Sid and Marty Krofft’s first live-action, giant puppet series premiered in 1969 and held the nation’s children in its colorful, hallucinogenic grip for three seasons as part of NBC’s Saturday morning lineup. Now you can relive the long, strange trip with ‘H.R. Pufnstuf’ The Complete Series and Collector’s Edition, released today on DVD. Read the rest at TV Squad.
