H.R. Pufnstuf: Jimmy Who?

H.R. Pufnstuf: Jimmy Who?
NBC
December 27, 1969
Children's
DVD
C+

In this episode with a title that anticipates the reaction to the '76 Carter campaign, Jimmy gets amnesia from a bump on the head, which is cured by, you guessed it, a bump on the head.  This isn't bad for a clip show, since all four flashbacks are to musical numbers.

The series averages out to a high C+, which is what I would've predicted.  It was never my favorite Krofft show (we'll talk about what was as we go along) and it is pretty repetitive when it comes to plotting.  The look of it, and sometimes the music, make it worth watching, in small doses.
