Marty Krofft

― Iris Demented (Ye Mad Puffin), Sunday, 26 November 2023 13:52 (two years ago)

only really known in the UK for Banana Splits, we didn't get any of the other weirdness.

― koogs, Sunday, 26 November 2023 17:30 (two years ago)

My biggest Krofft exposure was the Krofft Supershow, with Electra Woman and Dyna Girl and Wonderbuggy and all that. Spent Saturday mornings watching that for a couple of years.

(xp) HR Pufnstuf was shown over here - well it was in Scotland anyway.

― How old Cary Grant? (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 November 2023 18:18 (two years ago)

yeah i have very faint memories of it

― Tyler Perry's Cystitis (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 26 November 2023 18:20 (two years ago)

RIP Marty

HR Pufnstuff was such a huge part of my early tv memories, watching that and Banana Splits felt like a portal into a whole other kind of television, nothing else looked or sounded like it, or had such genuine good vibes. <3

RIP. Don’t forget the truly trippy spinoff Lidsville, with Jack Wild AND Charles Nelson Reilly.

Sorry, but Jack Wild, Butch Patrick.

The Krofft Superstars show (Sigmund etc.) Was a touchstone of my youth. But if any sensible sober human had ever thought for one single second about it...

Nope. No way. What the fuck. It made no sense whatsoever.

― Iris Demented (Ye Mad Puffin), Sunday, 26 November 2023 19:01 (two years ago)

Caught fleeting glimpses of Pufnstuf growing up and it terrified me. However, one of my earliest TV memories was watching D.C. Follies with my dad when I was 4 ish years old. I didn’t get most of the references but I liked the puppets. Bought it on DVD a year or two ago and for something so dated, it held up kinda well (Fred Willard is always appreciated).

RIP

― Judi Dench's Human Hand (methanietanner), Sunday, 26 November 2023 19:02 (two years ago)

Teletubbies and Yo Gabba Gabba are somewhat analogous in this category.

After that, YouTube became a really reliable source of deeply absurd entertainment allegedly aimed at children.

Rest In Peace, Geordie.

― SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Monday, 27 November 2023 07:41 (two years ago)

Sorry for you loss, Alex in NYC. Was Geordie ever on any of these periodic lists of Greatest Guitar Lists? If not, he absolutely should have been.

Mamadou Sanou (Baba Commandant) instrumentalist / singer with his Mandingo Band who toured the world a lot in 2023 passed away in his home town of Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. All we know at the moment is, a fatal bout of malaria was the reason.

Jean Knight. Thank you for the stone-cold guaranteed floorfiller <3

Investor Charlie Munger, 99

CNBC has gone to wall-to-wall coverage. What will they do when Warren Buffett goes?

― Infanta Terrible (j.lu), Tuesday, 28 November 2023 22:22 (two years ago)

Damn, Baba Commandant just played here in town a few months ago and I couldn't go because I had to do something work-related that night. Heard it was a great, joyful show. R.I.P.

Shane McGowan, 65

Can't be the only one thinking "that's the Christmas No1 locked in then"

Also RIP to a great songwriter and singer with a lot of demons - this track is probably already a cliche but it's energising to see him and them glowing at standing on stage in the most popular Irish TV show, where the memory of the nation is made, level with the generation before them.
