As Mammy Yoakum, she was younger than Peter Palmer, who played her son.
When she raised her index finger heavenward and said "Ah has spoken!" everyone knew that was the end of the discussion.
They say the show wasn’t about drugs.

I remember H.R. Pufnstuf. There is a reason it only ran one season...
I used to watch the show when I was a kid. R.I.P., Billie Hayes.
I loved the show when I was a child, but it wasn’t until buying the box set a few years ago and rewatching it that I caught onto the phallic symbolism of a boy being afraid of an older woman getting a hold of his “magic flute.” Freud would have had a field day with it.
She outlived Jack Wild by 15 years (He died in 2006).
I only heard of it because other kids in my sixth grade home room talked about it; I watched a little of it once and it creeped me out. Surreal and trippy.
Godspeed Witchiepoo
Every time the weather turns bad when I’m out on my boat, I think of this show’s open.
It was a warped TeleTubbies for 4-6 year olds.
I just remember it being often disjointed, over-the-top, and mind numbing, all at the same time. It was a wasted half hour of nonsense, but still better than PBS.
