Subject: Does anyone know the name of this old kiddie show?
Written By: Cautious Lip on 01/11/09 at 6:37 pm
I recall a show of puppet-animated (Puppetoon?) episodes (like the Rankin-Bass specials) and "Gumby & Pokey". It was a late 60's show which possibly ran into the early 70's. It was a weekday afternoon program. There were no live actors in it. The show featured a little boy who had adventures through his imagination. He was friends with a talking scarecrow who would give the boy advice. I remember two episodes. In one the boy imagined himself a cowboy by the name of "Pistol Pete". In the other episode the boy puffed on a cigar and became ill from it. He dreamed giant cigars were after him and tied him up with smoke rings. Does this ring a bell? Can anyone identify what show I'm referring to? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it was a talking scarecrow? The only thing close that comes to mind is "Davey and Goliath" but he had a talking dog...

The show was definately NOT Davey & Goliath. I am very familiar with Davey & Goliath. I used to watch that show too. Besides,Goliath never had a crow perched on his shoulder.

I totally remember that commercial I just thought it was a dew commercial I didn't realize it was associated with anything else.... I'd walk around saying "we got hosed!"

I think you are referring to H.R. Puffinstuff. I LOVED that show! :D

Thanks for your help, 10Fifteen but the show is not H.R. Puffenstuff. The show I'm referring to was about an animated puppet. He was a little boy whose imagination got him into trouble. There were no live actors in the show. By the way, I loved H.R. Puffinstuff too. Still do. Cheers !

Folks were seeing a lot of this kinda stuff in the '70s and it wasn't necessarily on TV!

Yes, you're right. Not necessarily on TV. I saw it on TV though. Weekday afternoons on a local syndicated channel. It was shown sometime between 3:00pm & 5:00pm in the States. It wasn't a show with one 30 minute episode. It consisted of 2 or 3 shorts about the imaginative boy in each program.
