Marty Kroft has passed onto Lidsville and will be greeted by HR Pufnstuf and Witchy Poo! The trippiest shows in the 70’s!

Man some of that stuff really creeped me out when I was a kid. There was no context for it in the early 80's.

It took a long time for me to catch up on the drug intake.

As a senior in the fall of 1968, I would clean the apartment on Saturday morning watching the Banana Spits and then would go to the game.

As bad as that was, it was nothing compared to how creepy it was in that scene from Goliath. Still makes me feel a little queasy.

His older hermano and Partner Sid is still alive. I loved the magic flute they created.

I swear these guys were on acid when they were coming up with the concepts for these shows. I was Sigmund the Sea Monster fan, along with Land of the Lost as a kid.

Good ole Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper, and Snork. That theme song is still burned into my brain from my childhood.

This and the sensational Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp were some of the famed Saturday morning shows at the time.

+1. IIRC The Monkees were on after the Banana Splits, at least in my neck of Western PA.
