Sid and Marty Kofft on drugs, their shows

Was that the one with Witchypoo (sp?) & the magical singing flute?

You can't do a little 'cause you can't do enough.


Sure, no drugs involved at all. Not in a show called Pufnstuf....

 

Even as a kid, I felt sorry for the older actors who had to appear in this dreck. It wasn't campy fun, it was a semi-truck of full of suck. Not funny, just plain odd.

 

Sigmund was my favorite show when I was a kid. They played an episode of it on TV Land a couple of years ago and I watched it -- holy mother of christ was it fucking terrible. The costumes were laughable. It sort of made me ashamed for being such a stupid kid.

 

I read somewhere that some of them liked it. Made them relevant again.

 

They did a reader Q&A today at the Post:
