Now this is kinda boss. Rhino is gonna release a DVD set with the pilot episodes of H. R. Pufnstuf, The Bugaloos, Lidsville, Land of the Lost, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, The Lost Saucer, and Far-Out Space Nuts. For $14.95. You cannot go wrong.
Sweet! That's a must-have ... y'know, somewhere I have a picture of my mom dressed up as Witchiepoo for Hallowe'en back in '69 or '70 or thereabouts. Scary part was that she had the act down perfectly... :)
According to WEHT.net (http://www.weht.net/WEHT/Jack_Wild.html) ("What Ever Happened To...?"), he went through a standard-issue child-star decline of depression and drug & alcohol abuse. He finally kicked that, got married, and started rebuilding his acting career. Played Much the Miller's Son in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Newest film is a bit part in Moussaka & Chips (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451130/). Lost his voicebox to cancer in Oct. 2004.

Watching Sigmund and the Sea Monsers is one of my earliest memories; I loved that show, though I remember very little about it (I was about 3 when it was broadcast). Ditto Land of the Lost. Gotta get that DVD.
