Before they got into the TV shows they did big puppet shows at the larger amusement parks.AlanDPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910363728370240226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24869193.post-33715305590131026232010-01-02T16:48:38.403-06:002010-01-02T16:48:38.403-06:00Jogged it is!

Yes, I remember that strange show, but the strongest memory I have (I was 3-5 years old when "Lidsville" was on) was that of the kid falling into the hat.<br /><br />And there's another Texas connection. Check out the beginning of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btpd8zg5VWA" rel="nofollow">the opening theme and credits</a>. Yep, that's Six Flags Over Texas where the magic show takes place.<br /><br />So, H.R. Pufnstuf in San Antonio, Lidsville in Dallas. Strange given that the Kroffts were not from Texas.Albatrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156254141379602471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24869193.post-83302550085700691792010-01-02T16:38:50.420-06:002010-01-02T16:38:50.420-06:00I thought as much about "Sigmund", but I...I thought as much about "Sigmund", but I don't remember "Lidsville". I'll have to see if I can find it on Youtube and try to jog the ol' memory.Albatrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156254141379602471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24869193.post-2997386691631320662010-01-01T20:11:26.918-06:002010-01-01T20:11:26.918-06:00Was just re-reading this post and needed to add a ...Was just re-reading this post and needed to add a comment.<br /><br />They did make Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. They also made Lidsville, do you remember that one? Starring Charles Nelson Reilly and Butch "Eddie Munster" Patrick. I gotta check and see if Netflix has that one on DVD.AlanDPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910363728370240226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24869193.post-13910744057919742472009-03-15T15:41:00.000-05:002009-03-15T15:41:00.000-05:00Remember "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters"?
