Lennie, we hardly knew ye...


Lennie Weinrib, the voice of "H.R. Pufnstuff" has died at age 71. He was also the star of "Magic Mongo" (pictured above), a live-action Saturday morning show about a bungling, beach-combing genie (!) that was part of "The Kroft Supershow", as well as the voice of Scrappy-Doo and legions of other cartoon characters. Check his name at imdb.com and you'll be shocked at how many voices he did that you'd recognize, such as "Inch Eye Private Eye" and "Jabberjaw", a cartoon about a cowardly great white shark that talked like Curly from the Three Stooges and played drums in a rock band but didn't devour people.
