Pufnstuf Takes Atlanta //

Before Atlanta had the CNN Center, it had The World of Sid & Marty Krofft. For 6 months in 1976, people could spend $5.75 to spend a few hours inside the trippy (but they swear they were never high) imaginations of the Krofft brothers, creators of H.R. Pufnstuf, Land of the Lost, and other Saturday morning 70s favs.
