The Psychedelic World Of HR Pufnstuf: Facts You Didn’t Know

Nickelodeon Revived H.R. Pufnstuf iIn 2015

H.R. Pufnstuf hit the small screen for the first time in 45 years in 2016. No, we’re not talking about the film idea that was kicking around with Justin Bieber as a potential Jimmy. This was a TV special that originally aired on Nick Jr. (Nickelodeon’s network geared towards the youngest generation).

The Pufnstuf special was part of a 20 episode order of Mutt & Stuff, a Nick Jr. show also created by Sid and Marty Krofft that’s currently in its second season. In the special, HR is Stuff’s uncle. Pufnstuf and the gang visit Stuff’s canine school, and Stuff tries to impress Uncle Pufnstuf but goes overboard.
