	The Krofft Oeuvre
		Marty Krofft said this theme of kids cut off from their parents probably stemmed from he and his brother's childhood.
		Among the Krofft entries shown: "H.R. Pufnstuf," the original "Land of the Lost," "The Bugaloos," "ElectraWoman and DynaGirl," "Lidsville," "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters," and "The World of Sid and Marty Krofft Live at the Hollywood Bowl" featuring songs by Johnny Whitaker (from Sigmund), Jack Wild (from Pufnstuf), and The Brady [Bunch] Kids.
		In 1995 the Kroffts entered into an agreement with Walt Disney Pictures to bring their TV shows to the big screen, starting with "The Land of the Lost." "H.R. Pufnstuf" is expected to be the second Krofft property to get remade as a movie, while a new "Bugaloos" TV show is in development at Fox.

		Marty Krofft says it best: "We were the first ones who took a Live-action show and made a living cartoon out of it" (38), thus setting the stage for acts such as Jim Henson's Muppets.
		Sid and Marty acknowledge that they did not set out to make educational programs for children; they wanted to entertain their viewers, and in doing so, maybe kickstart their imaginations.
		These chapters are formulaic: how the Kroffts came up with the premise, the plot line, the characters, and a concluding section in which cast members reminisce about their work on the show and their colleagues.

	The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry
		Truly, Sid and Marty, are the fifth generation of puppeteers in their family, dating all the way back to the 1700's in Greece, where their great-great grandfather opened the first Krofft Theater in Athens (XXIII, i, 15).
		But before all the glitz and glamour of television came their way, Sid and Marty were hard working puppeteers who put together live shows for both children and adults.
		Sid was recommended by the one-and-only Jack Benny to Judy Garland, who had Sid's puppet act open for her in Las Vegas in 1957.

	Film & TV: The Brothers Krofft (Metro Pulse . 06-07-99)
		Krofft was a name that meant something to a kid—it promised a world unlike any to be found on the other TV shows.
		Marty's often recognized as the "business brother" to Sid's role as the "creative brother," so it's no wonder that the bottom line comes to his mind more readily than evil mushrooms.
		The Kroffts often spent much of their income on producing their shows, especially with H.R. Pufnstuf—a show that made their name, but also left them nearly broke after one season when they spent twice as much on each episode as they were allotted.

		Marty Krofft: I want to tell you, though, that effect that we did on “The Land of the Lost” with the spear, we were over budget.
		Marty: Well, you know, everybody thinks, you know, every time we do a radio interview, the question always is, "How many drugs did you take?" I say, "if we did as many drugs as they said we did, we'd be dead today." Maybe the kids were doing drugs, but we weren't.
		Marty: Of all the shows, that was probably the one that got the biggest ratings, and that one, we had the most episodes.

	Francesco Marciuliano's Eye Opener: Forgotten Sid & Marty Krofft Shows
		For the greater part of the 1970's, Sid and Marty Krofft defined Saturday morning children's television with high-concept stories, ominous themes, alternative realities, hallucinatory production design, trippy music, giant puppets, inadvertent references to skin flutes and more abandoned children than a Dickens retrospective.
		From the fantastical and frightening H.R. Pufnstuf to the frightening and frightening Land of the Lost, the Krofft brothers spun magic time and time again with shows whose freakish images couldn't have burned more into a child's mind if they were attached to the end of a branding iron.
		Eventually the show was pulled and replaced with another Krofft series, Clap, Clap, Clap, about giant hands that made thunder noise for a living and the little British boy who winds up in their world for some inexplicable reason or another.

		Such was the wacky world that television impresarios Sid and Marty Krofft unleashed on a generation of schoolchildren in the early to mid 1970s.
		David Martindale's Pufnstuf and Other Stuff: The Weird and Wonderful World of Sid and Marty Krofft (Los Angeles: Renaissance Books, 1998) is, interestingly, one of two recent works on the indeed "weird and wonderful" Krofft oeuvre.
		Though both works bear unwieldly subtitles, unlike Hal Erickson's Sid and Marty Krofft: A Critical Study of Saturday Morning Children's Television, 1969-1993(Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 1998), Martindale's book benefits not only from, for starters, illustrations, but also from interviews with Les Freres Krofft themselves, as well as with their colleagues, coworkers and employees.

		Krofft were marked by outlandish fantasy plots, otherworldly monsters, horrible costumes, mediocre production values, zealous if cheesy acting, and numerous adolescent actors with which the young target audience could identify.
		This catalogue of Sid and Marty Krofft's 70s live action shows range from the excellent (Land of the Lost) to the absurd (Lidsville) to the awful (Magic Mongo).
		But the best of the Krofft shows is probably "Land of the Lost," a remarkable attempt to combine serious family drama and science fiction in a children's show.

	Sid and Marty Krofft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World of Sid and Marty Krofft was the world's first indoor amusement park, but due to poor attendance it was closed after just six months.
		Among other things, the lack of attendance was blamed on the fact that the Omni complex--the park's home--was not perceived as a safe place to visit at the time when the park was open.
		The space the park occupied is now used for part of CNN's Atlanta operations.
