My wife was close friends with Marty at Al-Anon in the Valley. I got to meet him him once at a portugese bakery on Ventura. Good man.

Did he do a lot of acid in the 60’s?? That’s the feeling i got watching HR Puffenstuff all these years later.

Definitely some weird children’s programs. But, I remember liking them.

Thank you, sir, for the childhood memories.
They were somewhat warped, but interesting!
Strangely, I remember the shows, somewhat well.
Later, I considered them to be what an acid trip must be like.

“H.R. Pufnstuf,” a live-action program about a boy (played by British actor Jack Wild)
Interesting fact, Jack Wild was already an Oscar winner when he took this role winning best supporting actor in Oliver as the Artful Dodger.
I grew up in the Sid & Marty era, Pufnstuf, Lidsville, Sigmund & the Sea Monsters, Banana Splits etc
RIP Marty and thanks for the laughs

Anyways felt these shows were pretty low quality, even by the standards of the 7O’s but, what did I know.
