Lidsville is a Saturday morning creation of Sid and Marty Krofft. The show premiered in 1971 on the ABC network. Although Lidsville may not have been as popular as H R Pufnstuf I think this is Sid and Marty's best-and most bizarre show. Lidsville has a wonderful cast-it stars Charles Nelson Reilly as Horatio J HooDoo The Great, Butch Patrick as Mark, and Billie Hayes as Weenie the Genie. This dvd set includes all 17 episodes of the series plus interviews with the cast and commentaries on certain episodes. My favorite episode of Lidsville is Mark and the Beanstalk- Mark decides to climb a magic Beanstalk to escape Lidsville and return to "the real world"--but HooDoo the Great captures Mark. HooDoo the Great then changes himself into a Mark look alike and resumes the climb on the Beanstalk-- Butch Patrick doing a campy Charles Nelson Reilly imitation made me fall on the floor with laughterRead full review
When I was a child, I would sit in front of the TV on saturday morning with giddy anticipation waiting for Sid and Marty Kroft cartoons like Speed Buggy, The Hair Bear Bunch, Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch and of course, Lidsville. On Saturday afternoons, all of the kids in the neigborhood would become a character and we would play out that mornings cartoons. My sister was always the nurse, and I wanted to be The Great Hoo Doo. Not because I wanted to be bad, but rather I wanted to drive Hoo Doo's hatamaran and fly around above the good hats. I would always throw candy down to the people of Lidsville so they would let me land downtown and then give the good hats a ride. Now I am 41, and I watch Lidsville with my 6 year old daughter. She loves the show, and I love watching her reaction to the show. When her eyes get bright and she asks me what is going to happen next...I feel like we are both kids watching the show for the first time...together.Read full review
I purchased H.R. Pufinstuff for my son to bring back childhood memories. I thought I couldn't top that gift, but when he opened Lidsville....he couldn't believe it. He absolutely loved this show as a child and could not wait to watch it on DVD.
