Never thought I would mention HR Pufnstuf here

Guardian Unlimited Film | News | Oliver! actor Jack Wild dies aged 53

I saw the movie "Oliver" as a child. Kind of depressed me.

Later, HR Pufnstuf always struck as incredibly awful and bizarre, even for under 10 year old tastes. I think it was the sitcom laugh track that made it especially creepy..as if adults would laugh at that. Looking back, one wonders if the drug addled era in which it was made had an effect on the show.
