I hear that if your (incredibly backward) cable or sattelite provider doesn't offer Logo, you can catch full episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race at Logoonline.com! The world just became a more FABULOUS place!
Apparently once again Miss Ginger lost at least one of you with her reference to 70's kids TV, when she delcared that Victoria "Pork Chop" Parker looked just like HR Puffnstuff.
For any of you GingerSnaps who may have been raised by tree-hugging hippies who didn't believe in television :
This classic series begins with Jimmy, a young English boy, playing near the edge of a river with his magical talking gold flute, Freddie. While at the edge of the river Jimmy climbs aboard a boat that beckons to him. As it drifts out to sea, an evil witch named Witchiepoo, seeking Freddie to add to her collection of magical possessions, casts a spell and makes the boat turn into an evil boat which attacks Jimmy (who then jumps overboard to save himself). Swimming to the shore of Living Island, Jimmy is rescued by its mayor, H R Pufnstuf and his Rescue Ranger crew (Kling and Klang) before Witchiepoo can get her hands on the boy or the magic flute. They befriend the Jimmy sheltering and protecting him from the kooky old witch.Everything on Living Island is alive. Books have faces, houses sneeze and trees can talk, not to mention the regular citizens who all look like an animal of some sort. Dr Blinky is an Owl, Ludicrous is a Lion and Judy Frog is; well she's a frog and the only character I didn’t like as a child.And then there is the evil Witchiepoo. She continually tries to satisfy her obsession for the talking flute with the aid of her goofy henchmen Orson, Seymore, Dumb and Stupid and her motorized broomstick, called the Vroom Broom. Each episode involves Jimmy attempting to escape from the island with the help of Pufnstuf and his friends, with flute intact of course. H.R. Pufnstuf was created by Sid and Marty Krofft (from (tvonline.com)

Who's your friend

Can't do a little,
'cause you can't do enough.
Once upon a summertime
Just a dream from yesterday
A boy and his magic golden flute
Heard a boat from off the bay
"Come and play with me Jimmy
Come and play with me
And I will take you on a trip
Far across the sea"...

I remember HR Pufnstuf, but just barely. I was more the Banana Splits era. I think by the time HR Pufnstuf came on, I was into the Monkees. I loved Davy, but I also loved Peter! [snicker]
