"H. R. Pufnstuff can't do a little cause he can't do enough?" WTF?
I don't get it. It's apparently a Zen thing, like when the Master says "go clean your bowl." But it went straight over my head...

3. That thing is supposed to be a dragon, right?
I never heard of it until I saw an old episode on TV Land one night. Talk about doing too much acid. That's the goofiest looking dragon I've ever seen.

BTW: I don't know what that saying means.

This is the 3-DVD sampler of most of the old Sid & Marty Krofft Saturday morning shows.

S-T-R-A-N-G-E.

7. If you think that's whacked
Try Lidsville or the Bugaloos.

Oh and for you Land of the Lost fans...
Check out this great song by the band Tastes Like Chicken. I think the group has broke up.
http://www.linkline.com/personal/enik1138/html/sleesong.html

Beware of Sleestak
Tastes Like Chicken

Big green guys with jewel-like eyes
come to get me in the middle of night
they're gonna skin me, then eat me alive
I'm lost, I'm lost
find me

When I look all around
I can't believe the things that I've found
Marshall, Will, and Holly can't help me now
I'm living in the land of the lost

Enik is a good Sleestak
he can help me find my way back
maybe not
'cuz he can't keep his anger in check
Sleestak are scary
Sleestak are scary
Sleestak are scary

Dinosaurs are everywhere
the Lost City can be found over there
someday Uncle Jack will fall from the air
with the help of a parachute

Hanging out with a monkey-man
Pakuni know the lay of this land
over here's a swamp right there quick sand
and
Sleestak are scary
Sleestak are scary
Sleestak are scary

I want to go home
far from this land unknown
I really don't like
these things that I've been shown
maybe this pylon holds the key

Freak storms and endless streams
triceratops and poison weeds
weird mushrooms
that I've been forced to eat
seem to do strange things to me

Suspended from the roof of a cave
down below is surely my grave
the Sleestak God is calling my name
if I fall down
I'll be his lunch

Chak-kah can't talk very clear
I've gotta get myself outta here
surrounded by my childhood fears
Sleestak are scary
Sleestak are scary
Sleestak are scary

9. Bob and David did a great skit about the Krofft's shows...
A takeoff show called "The Psychedelic State of Druggachusetts"
Plotline was about a kid who ran into a tree, was knocked unconcsious, and went to the state of Druggachusetts. The show was about the characters wanted to order a pizza, but couldn't figure out how to use the phone because the buttons kept melting...
God that was funny!

10. Woo Hoo! The Krofft Brothers!
I remember, years later, the first time I took acid, I really understood all those shows from our childhood!

(The flute scared me as a kid, though.):scared:

12. Don't forget that catchy them song.
The Bugaloos
We're in the air and everywhere
Flying high, flying loose
Flying free as a summer breeze

The Bugaloos
The Bugaloos
We're climbing high and diving low
Through the sky, 'cross the land
Straight to you
With a helping hand
Ready with a helping hand

We're friends indeed
Should you need
If you ever need

The Bugaloos
The Bugaloos
We're in the air and everywhere
Flying high, flying loose
Flying free like we all could be....
