Alternate Versions
Originally the special was broadcast in an hourlong time-slot with a total running time of 50 minutes (sans commercials). In 1995, Nick at Nite first aired the special in a half-hour time-slot during their "Pufapalooza" marathon. This version was missing the opening sequence (Billy Barty and other little people prepared the stage) and all of the scenes with Witchiepoo and Hoodoo. The special later aired frequently in an hour-long time-slot on TV Land with some minor trims to compensate for increased commercial time.
The uncut version of the special was released on VHS by Rhino Home Video in 1997 under the title H.R. Pufnstuf Live at the Hollywood Bowl.

Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or versions:
“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
