They were DEFINITELY puffin some STUFF!😂

A lid was a unit of measure for flakes. For those under 50 years old, “flakes” is a term for PCP-infused cleaned weed. Film was sold in little aluminum cans and the lid was a screw on convex-dimpled cap. You kept cleaned weed, and most especially flakes, in one of these aluminum film cans. When you bought or sold flakes, you bought a “lid” or a filled and leveled off lid-full of the drug. The plastic film cans weren’t used because they generated a lot of static electricity and the flakes stuck to the sides. You didn’t want your little 11yr old sister to flake out when she fired up her bowl up in the treehouse. Yes, that’s where “flake out” came from.

@!#?@!

Jack Nicholson killed Hong Kong phooey in the shinning,r.i.p. Scatman Crothers.

This show creeped me to the core as a small child

I had no idea that was Eddie Munster!

I was 5 yrs old in 1971 and remember watching.

I never thought any of the shows were drug related. People just need to be so hateful for some reason. I have a magazine article about Alice in Wonderland. It explains in detail how it is a place of a psychiatrist’s dreams! Each character represents a specific psychosis. My opinion: people hate to be caught dreaming or wishing.

Sometimes we'd turn down the sound and make up our own dialogue, or just make rude noises to go with the hat characters flapping their mouths.

LOVED Lidsville in about 2014 “TeleToon Retro” a spin off from the Canadian Cartoon Network “TeleToon”- picked up a ton of Hannah Barbara shows. They had Flintstones, Jetsons, Lidsville and aired Banana Splits. All amazing

Considering how Charles Nelson Reilly antagonized Butch Patrick (aka Eddie Munster) in Lidsville, I ponder how things would've play out if Fred Gwynne had been a guest panelist on Match Game, where CNR was a regular.

Sid Krofft is still here. Rest In Peace, Marty Krofft, and all who worked with the Krofft brothers...

Marty Kroft ULTRA. 😊

This was my favorite show when I was four. I still don’t know why lol.

Ah yes, the $10 "Lids" of that "Puffin' Stuff"... Good times...

Loved Lidsville. Have a nice lunchbox to remember it. Never once as a 8 year old thought this show or Pufnstuf was about drugs. It was just the coolest stuff on Saturday morning.

Gold key, not goldenkey

Creepy creepy creepy - watched it as a kid and it gave me nightmares

I’m a content creator!

I wish Sid Krofft would also play more Lidsville like HR Pufnstuf. I Loved Billie Hayes in both shows.

Buh ga loos

No sound.

Did he just say "elroy blues" ?!?!?!?!?

I remember the Krofft stuff being rereleased and aired as a kid, my dad was nostalgic and I enjoyed it like new. Later, I hunted down the dvds re-releases and I was doing a lot of acid and had what was easily one of the best summers in my life and I introduced it to a bunch of new people who became fans too.

Butch Patrick scared the hell out of me as a kid.

People sure did a lot of drugs in the 70s....

I loved lidsville!

It was CHARLES NELSON REILLY, not Charles Reilly; he always performed under his full name; he started out in theater; was on Broadway, in the 50’s and 60’s, and by the 70’s had become a perennial face on TV, guesting on several game shows, most notably MATCH GAME; he also donned a giant banana costume to play BIG BANANA in a series of commercials as the spokesman for BIC ink pins; after LIDSVILLE, he hosted another Saturday morning show, UNCLE CROC’S BLOCK, which featured various short cartoons produced by FILMATION STUDIOS…

HR PUFFIN STUFF and LIDSVILLE were my favourites,,,

I'll pay a million dollars to whoever finds these and puts them on TH-cam.

Great Job........

Thanks for all the details! I’m trying to recreate this ride in Roblox, and this video really helps.

BUG-a-loos, not Boo-ga-loos...

I see the magician is the dirty bubble from SpongeBob, Charles Nelson Riley complete with that signature chuckle that he always does

Did he say The BOO-ga-loos??? They’re BUGS! It’s BUG-a-loos! Did he watch a single episode? They say Bugaloos a hundred times per episode!

I had been a fan of The Munsters in the 60s and Eddie had been my favourite character. I remember watching Lidsville when it was on our screens. I don’t think it occurred to me that Mark was an older version of Butch Patrick, alias Eddie Munster. I find it interesting how British child actor Jack Wild had started in H.R. Pufenstuff. I think Butch and Jack lived pretty similar troubled lives. The late Jack did not think early fame was a good thing. I think their lives are cautionary tales for those who aspire to become famous.

Marty Krofft, was quoted as saying: “You can’t create this stuff stoned”. Whether they ever used drugs at all is anyone’s guess. As it it is though, the shows certainly appealed to stoners.

I don't think you need to reach to the show's title for drug references, especially as weed is barely a "drug" - more akin to alcohol than opium - and a "lid" is a given amount of pot, not a slang reference to pot. (Now, if they'd called it "a Sid and Marty Krofft joint"...) No, the drug references I see are that in order to conceive of "Lidsville" and "H.R. Pufenstuf", I think you'd need to be on LSD.

A lid is an archaic term of measurement for marijuana but the hats, sure😜

There were other video game related cartoons in the 80's, those being Captain N & Pole Position.

Dedicated to the memory of Marty Krofft (1937-2023).

I remember watching _Lidsville_ and _H.R. Puffinstuff_ when I was a toddler & preschool age kid, and I enjoyed both shows.

👍

Not just "lid" as slang for marijuana... But the show's title and theme song lyrics are blatantly drug-related. "Puff 'n' stuff"? I think we know what stuff is being puffed here. "Can't do a little 'cause you can't do enough"? Uh ya. Of course as a little kid in the 70s I had no clue about that, so it was kind of clever in its innuendo.

I remember this particular show when I was a kid; watched it religiously. Sadly Mark, never did make it back home and there was no end show.

Your narration makes this unbearable. You sound like you have a mouthful of oatmeal.

This show is one the first tv shows I remember as a kid!

Witchie Poo cool

Great job!

The world's fair in San Antonio TX had an adults-only Sid and Marty Kroft puppet show called Les Poupees de Paris.
