Actor Butch Partick is Extremely Talented and Very Handsome! I met him in person! He was very Gracious and very Kind in 1993 at an Antique Toy Show in Ohio! I was born in the very late Autumn of 1978. I Told him how I enjoyed watching him as Eddie Munster on The Munsters Televison Show and the 1966 Movie Munster, Go Home, as Milo in the 1970 Live Action/Animated Movie, The Phantom Tollbooth and as Mark on the Classic Saturday Televison Show Lidsville! I bought a picture of him as Eddie Munster which he autographed and talk with him and then he gave a printed homage he written about the late actor, author and illustrator Fred Gwynne! It was great!
How can anybody look at the ways things were done back in the day, and look at how things are done now, and not be depressed? I love my computer, iPhone, and the internet (hell, I'm an IT professional), but I seriously would give it all up in a heartbeat to go back to simpler times. I'd be a lot thinner too. I remember, if I wanted to find friends, I wasn't allowed to call them, I had to ride my bike and look for them. I miss my childhood.
@@Scipio488 Yes, simpler times, a simpler lifestyle, and much richer imaginations because people used to..... ....perish the thought...... READ BOOKS!!!
I was born in the late fall of1978. I Love This Classic Saturday Televison and Classic Televison Show Theme Song! I Love all of the Classic Sid and Marty Krofft Shows!
I was born in 84 and this was my fav childhood show along with pufnstuf. The intro to this show made me so happy as a kid!!! It was my fav part!!!! I just remembered it now and still knew all the words and still had excitement in my heart for it!!!!
My father grew up watching Sid and Marty Krofft shows, Lidsville Pufnstuf Bugaloos you name it. Guess he wanted us to have a wonderful childhood which my brothers and i did. I am thrilled to say if and when I become an aunt/mother I will show my nieces nephews and my kids these shows.
Early 70’s tv, 3 channels to choose from and show intros that were extremely long compared to today. Great show with Eddie Munster and Charles Nelson Reilly. I was 7 when I was watching this on Saturday mornings!
They had to be dropping acid to come up with this. I loved this show so much. I just met Butch Patrick this past weekend. He was in a July 4th parade as the head of our haunted house. Such a nice guy.
@@johno4521 Yes. Butch Patrick played both the part of Eddie Munster and the kid in Lidsville. I was ten years old when this show debuted. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this show on Saturday mornings along with the cartoons that played during this time period. It was a nice time to be a kid. Sadly, things have radically changed for our children.
Sid and Marty Kroft were the kings of Saturday morning TV! Thankfully, the entire episodes came out on a box set! My daughter's got to grow up watching it as well!
I remember this show vividly. I was 4 yrs. old and loked forward to every episode. I also loved Land of the Lost and all of the other Sid and Marty Krofft Shows. They were pioneers in childrens television.
I LOVED this show!! This was my favorite cartoon show on Saturday morning when I was a kid!! This is totally awesome, they don't make shows like this any more!
This is classic childrens show. I used to watch this when i was 4 years old. In fact, I loved all of the Sid and Marty Krofft Shows From the 1970's. Thanks for posting this great memory.
I Loved Saturday mornings when I was a kid. I can still remember most of the theme songs from them. When they had a special on tvland my daughter and I watched them and now she is hooked and can sing the songs
I was born in 1978. I watch and have watched this classic Sid and Marty Krofft show Lidsville! I love the classic television theme song! People who say they had to be dropping acid and doing dangerous illegal drugs to come up with this. are wrong! People can be creative without snorting cocaine, smoking pot, drinking liquor or high on angel dust! I think remarks like that are cynical, mean and vicious! Thank you for posting and sharing this! I love it!
The people who created and worked on this show were never intoxicated on alcohol or high on pot, dangerous, illegal drugs or abused prescribed prescription drugs! NO acid, angel dust, cocaine, crack cocaine, acid, fentanyl, heroin, morphine, PCP, or liquor intoxication, drug cocktail mixture or high, dangerous drugs were used that would impair judgment or mentally impair anyone on any creative aspect of this classic show! DON"T EVER post Misinformation that is a blatant lie!
I'm too young to have been around when this stuff first aired, but as a kid I once saw a marathon of H.R. Puffinstuff. Man, did that ever confuse me. As a kid you imagine the adult world to be a realm of relative sanity. Not the case. This stuff was actually on television. Amazing.
The original: *Six Flags over Texas,* just outside of Arlington between Dallas and Fort Worth. The name came from the six national flags that had flown over the land we call Texas today: • Spain • France • Mexico • Republic of Texas • Confederate States of America • United States of America The park has six main sections: one for each flag, themed accordingly for its first few decades. In more recent times it instead uses six versions of the U.S. flag. Sid & Marty Kroft got their start here with a puppet show, and used the park as settings not only for the opener of _Lidsville_ but earlier for _The Banana Splits Hour_ opening title.
man I was born in 68 and i remember watching this like a ritual, this and Land of the Lost and H R Puff and Stuff and now i think, I was only like, 3 or 4?? This was such a freak out at the time! Thanks for posting, brings back good memories when all life was about the next episode...sigh
I LOVE ALL OF SID AND MARTY KROFFT SHOWS AND STILL DO!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD WATCH ALL OF THEM AND IF THEY WERE STILL ON THE AIR NOW, EVEN THOUGH I'M 50 YEARS OLD< I:D STILL WATCH ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!
Sid & Marty Krofft made some really interesting shows int he 1970s. There is nobody making shows like this today. As silly as you think they are, they are memorable.
The moment that he touched the hat the room began glow and as he put it down and ran the hat began to grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and GRRROOOOWWWWW....
This show was huge in it's run for people who are my age (8 at the time) in the US. Charles Nelson Riley was the villain and the story lines were actually pretty scary for kids. Kind of like how original fairy tales had some pretty insidious characters. Great show!
I think the intro is longer than the show, lol!!!!. Vaguely remember this show, but once in a while I get disturbing memories of it. Hope to see it again someday!
What great memories. What has happened to todays Saturday mornings. So, so sad. This was TV. Also loved Charles Nelson's Hoodoo and his "huh-huh" after all sentences. He was the best!
Eddie Munster... God think that was the first time a cute boy made my heart skip a beat!! Eddie Munster turned out to be like cousin Marilyn when puberty arrived. Lol 1971, I was eight years old. Yup! Flashback moment!! UA-cam is wonderful!
My favorite childhood show of all time, even though the intro gave me nightmares. Delicious, Charles Nelson Reilly-infected, falling-into-an-endless-void nightmares.
So I always wondered if the six flags magician at the beginning is in fact Hoodo. Its obvious he is also played by charles Nelson Riley, but are they the same person? Is Hoodo at six flags to deliberately lure someone into lidsville? If the magician is NOT hoodo, he must at least be aware that his hat is a portal between the real world and Lidsville, so is he in league with HOODO? Unfortunately these questions were never answered and never will be.
in one episode hoodoo is shocked to find there's another world when he almost climbs out of the hat into merlo's dressing room. on the other hand there are episodes where he knows about our world. continuity was not,a strong point of the kroffts
The entirety of Lidsville is a dissociative episode imagined by someone experiencing trauma; in this case, the main character. That's why there are similarities between the real world and Lidsville.
Absolutely. HR Pufnstuf's Jack Wild was in his late teens too, but Butch Patrick really looks like he'd rather be surfing or tooling around in his van checking out the babes. But then he did sign the contract...
I'm only 22 and as a child i was shown thing like this and Sigmund and land of the lost. They were brilliant. Although now I'm older, i can't believe they put me in front of the TV to watch it. And of course none of my friends have heard of Lidsville or Sigmund. Sad little people!!
I swear it wasn't until the internet that I could find anything about this show I had vague memories of as a child, for a time I thought maybe I had dreamed it all! lol What a strange show.
this show is what inspired the candle cove story. i see why i watched HR puff n stuff earlier and it reminded me of candle cove.....and then i find this...makes sense.
Everybody from my era seems to remember HR Puf n Stuff...Very few remember Lidsville...including my wife !!! I remember ALL The Sid & Marty Kroft shows! They were my childhood. I thought I imagined "Witcypoo" songing Oranges Poranges. I was happy to find it here and sing along. I'm just a little crazy. Wish I could go back in time...But this will do :)
James Gussman In the 80s a compilation series called The World of Sid and Marty Krofft ran all of the Krofft shows except Lidsville. Very disappointed since it was my favorite of their shows.
I'm the opposite. I remember Lidsville, but I don't remember HR PufnStuf. I was too young. Almost too young to remember Lidsville, but I guess I watched the second season (which was a repeat of the first).
@@gracious1111 If I remember correctly. ..Lidsville came out after PufnStuf was airing...so I don't know how you could have missed it! Maybe they were on different networks?
I remember loving this show as a kid. I look at it now thinking, "Okay, exactly how many acid trips were Sid & Marty on when coming up with this one?" :)
OMG , I used to watch this as a kid.. I just could not remember the name. Tried to tell my hubby that there was a show that a kid fell into a giant hat.. Thank you for posting I knew I wasn't crazy
I was 7 years old when Lidsville appeared on television. I didn't know anything about drugs from personal experience, but my sister and brother and I all seemed to understand that something vaguely drug-related was going on because the idea of the show was very unreal.
I was in elementary school when this and HR Pufnstuf were on, and even then I remember thinking "Ok, there' s something just a little TOO weird about these shows..." Re-watching it 50 years later, I keep wondering what were the creators smoking..
Lol channel 2 or 3 used to play it at some rediculous hour of the morning, being a kid I was up to watch it haha (I'm from New Zealand - we play all sorts of old programmes here lol)
This show scared the crap outta me when I was a kid. I kept wondering how this he was going to get home. I gotta agree that whatever the inspiration was behind this show had to be illegal.
Just saw a Sid and Marty Krofft VHS collection at a thrift store. Now here I am looking at these clips. Whoa... We kids in the 70's had an interesting start and take on life. This song almost has a Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd feel about it. The thing is, it struck a memory: I actually had put some of my wooden toy people in a hat one night, hoping I might actually visit such a crazy magical place. What a captured period piece of an "out there" world of that early decade. I just watched part of the "Girl for Hoodoo" episode, man, what camp. But it does create a strange flashback sensation - no doubt. Maybe Kroffts' works are the antidote for the years were about to venture through..., live with adventurous levity.

Excellent Saturday Televison Show and Saturday Televison Show Theme Song!
This is one of those shows that I loved when I was a kid....
same here saw this show on nick at nite when i was 11 in 1995 huge sid and marty krofft fan

READ BOOKS!!!
An opening theme song that is 1 min 50 seconds... you'll never see that again.
And it still sounds like it was edited by the time it gets to the chorus at the end.
Great memories of watching this as a young kid.
The 70s could sometimes be weirdly strange. Lol
Pufnstuf had a long intro as well
It's the best part of the show lol

I never did drugs. I didn't have to. I watched Lidsville.
I blame this now for my ADHD thanks
And Puff n Stuff along with other Sid and Marty Kroft series they were all similarly themed
Sure
This was not created by people who were high on any kind alcohol or illegal drugs!
This Show was not credited by people by people intoxicated on alcohol or high on dangerous, illegal drugs!
As a child this was hands down the scariest opening to a show. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!
They had to be dropping acid to come up with this. I loved this show so much. I just met Butch Patrick this past weekend. He was in a July 4th parade as the head of our haunted house. Such a nice guy.
The tempo changes in the song, especially the falling down doooooown part actually seem designed for an acid trip, not just inspired by one.
Is that the same kid who played Eddie Munster?!

The wonder and beauty of drug-enhanced children's entertainment.

Me too....
Fun fact: This was filmed at Sixflags.
Which one?

As silly as you think they are, they are memorable.
Lidsville premiered on September 11, 1971 on ABC. It was part of their Saturday Morning Place to Be campaign. The first episode was "World in a Hat."
The moment that he touched the hat the room began glow and as he put it down and ran the hat began to grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and GRRROOOOWWWWW....

What great memories. What has happened to todays Saturday mornings. So, so sad. This was TV. Also loved Charles Nelson's Hoodoo and his "huh-huh" after all sentences. He was the best!
The FCC passed a law saying the shows had to be educational. Saturday morning didn't last long after that.

Like it! They sure don' t make cartoons like they use to. Boy, we were lucky!
Butch was adorable .. A far cry from Eddie Munster ..
The show was a comedy. The movie ended with Mrs. Muir becoming a ghost so she could join the captain.
