The world was magical
and everything was alive
and magic was just science that hadnt been discovered yet
the hippies and the music of the 60s
had not yet been checkmated by the cheap evilness of today's programming that stole the world's mind
and people
especially kids
liked imagining that George Bushes were not going to materialize in a real world
what it was about was imagination
perhaps it can yet reawaken in our world

Being 45, I remember that show well.
You have to realize something -- back then there were programs that were just entertainment. It was about creativity and storytelling. What the show was "about" was what it was about -- a young man with a talking flute who was lost on a magical island. They didn't analyze things like they do nowadays -- they just created programs that fired childrens imaginations. No "messages" or "lessons" -- lessons were something you learned from your parents, not from entertainment programming.

It was a weird show.I watched it because of a crush on Jack Wild.Now you want to talk strange cartoons .I think of Sponge Bo Square Pants and the one that had some characters of different colors .The purple one with a purse.Some shows I guess were just for fun no learning experience necessary.

LMAO! I'm 45 and I certainly remember that show! Remember, "Lidsville"? You know, I really don't think it was supposed to teach us anything. But I always coveted that magic flute! I liked, "Kimba The White Lion" too.

This was in the days when TV didn't teach anything. It was purely to fuel the Jack Wild craze. It also contained, some thought, thinly veiled drug references.

I felt the only way you could understand that show what to have a sugar buzz from your breakfast cereal.
There is definitely something hallucinogenic about it
