<P> In 2004, Rhino Entertainment released H.R. Pufnstuf: The Complete Series, featuring all 17 episodes on three discs, remastered and uncut, accompanied by interviews with Sid & Marty Krofft, Billie Hayes, and Jack Wild . The Complete Series has gone out of print, but individual (best - of) releases continue to be sold . Pufnstuf, a major motion picture released in 1970, was also released on May 19, 2009, by Universal Studios . SMK and Vivendi Entertainment has obtained the home video rights to the series and released the complete series on Jan. 11, 2011 . Two versions of the release exist; one is a traditional complete series set, while the other is a collector's set, featuring a bobble - head of H.R. Pufnstuf . The series is also available in Digital media format at iTunes Store . The whole catalog is available to stream at www.qkids.com and the Qkids app in iTunes Store . </P> <P> The show was the subject of a successful lawsuit brought by the Kroffts against the fast food restaurant McDonald's, whose McDonaldland characters were found to have infringed the show's copyright . The case, Sid & Marty Krofft Television Productions Inc. v. McDonald's Corp., 562 F. 2d 1157, was decided by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1977 . </P> <P> The Krofft brothers have responded in several interviews to popular beliefs that subtle recreational drug references exist in the show . For example, the title character's name Pufnstuf has been interpreted as a reference to smoking hand - rolled (H.R.) marijuana (puffin' stuff); Marty Krofft has said the initials H.R. actually stand for "Royal Highness" backwards . The show's theme song lyric "he can't do a little,' cause he can't do enough" has been read as referring to the addictive nature of drugs . Pufnstuf has quotes like "Whoa, dude!" and other "hippie" slang words . Lennie Weinrib, the show's head writer and the voice of Pufnstuf, has said, "I think fans gave it a kind of mysterious code - like meaning, like' Ah, was Pufnstuf puffing stuff? Like grass?' Was it psychedelic? Was it drug oriented? Not to us, it wasn't ." In a 2000 interview, Marty Krofft answered the question by saying, "The Krofft look has a lot of color, but there were no drug connotations in the show ." He addressed the topic at length in an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 2004, in response to the question, "OK, let's get this right out in the open . Is H.R. Pufnstuf just one giant drug reference?": </P> <P> We've heard that for 35 years . We did not intentionally do anything related to drugs in the story . People thought we were on drugs . You can't do good television while on drugs . People never believe you when you say that, but you can't . The shows were very bright and spacey looking . They may have lent themselves to that culture at the time, but we didn't ascribe that meaning to them, and I can't speak to what adults were doing when they were watching the shows . We just set out to make a quality children's program . </P>
