After watching Merlino, the Magician perform his act, Mark went backstage and found Merlino's hat. When he touched it, the hat began to grow in size. While looking inside the hat, Mark fell inside it and ended up in Lidsville, a land filled with living hats.
Throughout the series, Mark made several attemts to make his way home. Trying to prevent Mark's departure was Hoo Doo, the Magician, who wrecked havok with his gang of bad hats. Mark was assited in his efforts by Weenie, the Genie and the various good hats. Mark rescued Weenie from the clutches of Hoo Doo by taking the magic ring, which gave the owner the power to order/control Weenie.
This was the Krofft's third show. Like Pufnstuf, the show had an extended opening sequence, Billy Hayes (Pufnstuf's Witchiepoo), and a teenaged main character who attempted to return home throughout the series. Like Jack Wild in Pufnstuf, Butch Patrick was a familiar face for most of the viewers. He was best known for playing Eddie Munster on the Munsters. A popular character actor, Charles Nelson Reilly returned to Saturday morings in 1975 in the short lived Uncle Croc's Block.
(May 2008)Once again, a three hour block of Krofft shows, including Lidsville, are airing on cable in California. More information is available here.
