MeTV adding "H R Pufnstuf" and "Land of the Lost" to schedule

[Mr Tony]

Saw this on the Tivo and confirmed it on the MeTV site

11/29 (Day after Turkey Day....or as I call it Idiot Friday") from 8-10 Eastern

Me-TV is thrilled to present a post-Thanksgiving treat: a pair of kids' television classics from the vivid world of Sid and Marty Krofft. Join us for a trip back in time and experience Saturday Morning TV at its most wildly imaginative.

Tune in at 8PM/7C on Friday, November 29th when we'll be showing episodes 1 and 2 of H.R. Pufnstuf, the story of a boy and his talking flute, who board an abandoned boat and wind up on a far out island of brightly colored puppets and the vengeful Witchiepoo.

At 9PM/8C, we’ll bring you episodes 1 and 2 of Land of the Lost, the action-packed adventures of a forest ranger and his two teenagers who fall through time and end up in another universe that's populated with dinosaurs, Sleestacks and the friendly Pakuni tribe.

More Good News!
We'll be airing another block of episodes on Wednesday, December 25th, at 5AM/4C, as the perfect addition to your morning fun and festivities.

But there's even more good news – these two Krofft classics will be joining our Saturday Morning lineup beginning Saturday, December 28th. Tune in at 7AM/6C for H.R. Pufnstuf, followed by Land of the Lost at 7:30AM/6:30C, and relive the magical mornings of the late '60s and early '70s - or enjoy them yourself for the first time!

Beanie and Cecil! LOL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge5f2HSeFCc

I had Beanie and Cecil dolls as a little kid in the early '60's. They had a pull string and made noises when pulled.

I think that was Sigmund and the Sea Monster. I can kind of remember it. I didn't Google it either so if I'm wrong , I apologize, for some reason that show left a lasting impression on me.

 

[Teehar]

Annie is correct!Sigmund and the Sea Monster.Rip Taylor was on a few episodes.I had to google that lol,I could remember his face and even his first name,but kept thinking it was Rip Torn.Saturday mornings were great,growing up we didn't have the luxury of a 24-7 cartoon or kids network.

 

[Teehar]

Man,strolling down memory lane now,Sid and Marty Kroft had many shows I watched as a kid.Anyone remember Far out Space Nuts,The Bugaloos,Bigfoot and Wildboy?

Me too. I can remember getting up Saturday mornings at 6:00am to start watching all the cartoon shows. They used to even do a night time preview of the new shows coming Saturday morning each Fall . I also remember a show with Ruth Buzie and Jim Nabors playing aliens ,but I can't remember the title .

Beanie and Cecil was a cartoon show not live action.

definitely stirring up some old memories! Like Teehar mentioned, no 24/7 cartoon channels, Saturday mornings were great! I remember watching loony Tunes a lot on Saturday.

I would never have guessed that.
