H.R. Pufnstuf was a children's show which ran between 1960-1977. The producers were two men, Sid and Marty Krofft. The story was based on Jimmy, a young English boy, who would play by the river with his magic flute named "Freddie." Suddenly, a boat comes down the river and beckons Jimmy to come aboard. Jimmy climbs aboard, but then an evil witch, known as Witchiepoo, causes it to be an evil boat. Jimmy jumps out of the side to save himself from the witch and the evil boat and swims to Living Island. On this island, Jimmy was greeted by the mayor, R. H. Pufnstuf. This island is consistent with its name as everything is alive, from the plants to books and everything else you can imagine. In the different episodes, Jimmy continually is attempting to leave the island with the help of Pufnstuf, but the evil Witchiepoo foils their plans as she tries to steal the flute, Freddie. Sid and Marty Krofft also produced Bugaloos and Lidsville. The show is now known for expressing the culture of the sixties.
