* H.R. Pufnstuf (Television Show), the television series.
* Mayor H.R. Pufnstuf, the mayor of Living Island.
- H.R. Pufnstuf was a children's television series produced by Sid and Marty Krofft and starring Jack Wild, airing in the United States. There were seventeen episodes of the show, which ran from September 6, 1969 to September 4, 1971, but it was so successful that NBC kept it on the Saturday morning schedule for a full three seasons until August of 1972. The show was filmed at Paramount Studios, A Gulf + Western Company.
- Cooke took the concept of the magic flute and placed it loosely into the hands of a swinging, happy-go-lucky teenager named "Jack." According to the storyboards, Jack would find the flute at or near the beginning of each episode, and after playing it and partaking of the fumes, would quickly fall asleep on a nearby tree stump, itself covered with hallucinogenic mushrooms. Once asleep, an evil Enchantress would transport the boy to a surrealistic island, where a rotating cast of bizarrely-costumed characters would engage in an seemingly endless cycle of plotting, scheming, gloating, skipping, revenge, moralizing, and terrifying psychotic hallucinations.

According to the storyboards, Jack would find the flute at or near the beginning of each episode, and after playing it and partaking of the fumes, would quickly fall asleep on a nearby tree stump, itself covered with hallucinogenic mushrooms. Once asleep, an evil Enchantress would transport the boy to a surrealistic island, where a rotating cast of bizarrely-costumed characters would engage in an seemingly endless cycle of plotting, scheming, gloating, skipping, revenge, moralizing, and terrifying psychotic hallucinations. The crux of this scenario was that the evil Enchantress (known to her friends as "Mrs. Elaine Goldstein") coveted the flute for herself. However, she was never able to obtain the elusive instrument, because both it and the boy had landed in the wrong place — in the lair of a fire-breathing dragon, the only thing the Enchantress feared, other than dust mites, used Kleenex tissues and her daughter-in-law Mitzi. Thus, each episode would follow essentially the same plot: the boy would attempt to protect the flute, the flute would nevertheless be stolen, and the boy would ultimately get it back.
