Trippin' Hippies in Foam Rubber Costumes

I have gotta tell you, our kids are going to grow up watching some of the 60s and 70s classics, like H.R. Puffenstuff, Sigmund and the Seamonsters, Doctor Shrinker, and the Land of the Lost. I have no solid information here, but it seems evident that it took the influence of some mighty potent hallucinogenic mushrooms or an exotic psychotropic substance to inspire Sid and Marty Krofft when they created this stuff. Still, in a very cheesy way, these programs are wholesome entertainment compared to the garbage on TV these days. If you disagree with me, too bad... you're wrong. Right, Heather? The Magic 8-Ball says... "Without a doubt."

H.R. Puffenstuff. Does H.R. mean 'hand-rolled or what?'
