I grew up watching this.
The table flipping over to become a landscape in a giant pancake always amazed me.
There is a strong element of surrealism and a lot of socio-political commentary (which was normal in Swedish television at the time), a lot of which went way over my young head.
Some parts were scary for a child (like the Grand Potato and The Parents) but that just added to the thrill.
The puppets and dolls were very well made too.
It is definitely not for everyone but it nonetheless has to be considered a Swedish TV-classic.
