I remember it, but I didn't like it very much.

That theme song is now stuck in my head.

Flipping like a pancake, popping like a cork,
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and, Snork

I've always wanted a six wheeled atv because of that show.

I remember it but I was more of an H.R. Puffinstuff fan.

It says a lot when someone tells you they prefer a show about a young boy and his magic flute.

OK, I admit that I loved this show when I was a kid. For whatever reason, I watched it every time I could. (It was definitely better than, for example, "The New Zoo Revue." )

The Splits also had a series called "Danger Island" which starred a young Jan Michael Vincent and a character named "Chongo" who swung from vines and yelled, "Uh-oh, Chauuuun-go!!"

You're beginning to remind me of Colonel Frank Fitts.

Like all Chris Cooper characters, Col. Fitts lived by a code. In this case, not a particularly consistent code, but a code, nonetheless.

Right on Damn.

For whatever it is worth the humor of puffnstuff to me was not the fruity overtones of the flute and boy but the thinly veiled stoner references, much like Scooby Doo:

Also the fact that McDonald's ripped off most of the characters for its 70's children's ad campaigns with Mayor McBurger, Grimis the Hamburgler etc.

I never watched it, but some friends and I discovered it about two years ago on boomerang. We'd been drinking, and I don't think I've ever laughed that hard.
