TV on DVD Review: H.R. Pufnstuf Collector's Edition Set (2011, Vivendi Entertainment)

I've always had a fascination with older children's programming. 70',s, 60's, 50's kiddie television can be incredibly entertaining to me, even as an adult. Jim Henson was a pioneer back in the early 60s and 70s when he unveiled Sesame Street and his famous puppet personalities of "Miss Piggy" and "Kermit the Frog" on The Muppet Show. A couple of other gentleman that shared a big chunk of the kiddie TV pie, were the sibling team of Sid and Marty Kroft ( The Buggaloos, Land Of the Lost, Lidsvile, Sigmund and the Sea Monster). Most of these shows were before my time but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy them now. The show that arguably put the Kroft Brothers on the map was outrageously creepy but infinitely watchable H.R. Pufnstuf.

Vivendi Entertainment has taken the time to remaster all three seasons of this landmark children's show into one beautiful three disc box-set ( that includes a high-quality Bobblehead of Mayor H.R Pufnstuff himself). Here's a look at how the seasons are set up on each disc. All episodes are in their correct order:
