Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions and the answers I have for them:

Q: A:

Who was the witch that looked like Hattie but was smaller?

The smaller witch with bright red hair is Hattie's teenage niece, "Pixie the Witch".  During the 1970 season, Pixie developed a crush on teen idol Bobby Sherman, who later paid a visit to the show for a dream-come-true surprise birthday party.

Q: A:

Is there any way for me to buy tapes of the old show?

Presently, there are no tapes or videos available for sale to the public that I am aware of.  Like many fans of Larry's work, I would also like to re-live the memories of the show, as well as Larry's other work.

Q: A:

Where is Larry Smith now?  Does he know about this website?

Larry is still living and performing in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Many fans of the show from the 70's now bring their children to his performances to introduce them to Hattie and the gang.  Although Larry doesn't have an official presence on the internet, he is aware of this site and has been able to see it. Larry has just made a deal with UPN-TV 25 in Cincinnati to return to television in the fall of 2001.

Q: A:

Where can I find information about all the storylines for the show?

I don't think there is a complete collection of storylines for the show.  I would like anyone who remembers them to write me with a description or summary of the shows, including the characters and when the shows aired. I will collect them and put them on this site at a later date.

Q: A:

I thought there was a theme song for the show?  What were the lyrics?

Check out the new page "Songs" for the opening theme (lyrics) to the WXIX show, as well as some other songs the were preformed over the years.

Q: A:

What were all the character's names?

I don't remember all of them and their names.  Some of them are pictured in the site and on the "Characters" page.  I would like to hear from fans who remember each of the characters so I can provide more detail about all of them.
