I thought I had already read somewhere that HRPufnstuf was a go--with Johnny Depp as Witchiepoo? Maybe it was a joke item but I definitely read it LOL

I had read that before as well. I look forward to it. I am a child of the 70's.
I would like them to do a remake of the Kroft show "The Lost Saucer." It starred Ruth Buzzi and Jim Nabors. Anyone remember that one?

Hellz yeah I remember The Lost Saucer. All those shows were great. I'm ashamed to even mention that I had a huge crush on ElectroWoman and DinaGirl. LOL

Yeah its cool to relive your youth, but these hacks nowadays are just ruining our memories. Yes, I'm also a child of the 70s, and I am tired of all these horrible re-imagings. Hollywood...come up with an original thought please!
