    Default The World of Sid & Marty Kroft

    Who else grew up with these crazy shows? I can't imagine my childhood without Sid & Marty Kroft. What an imagination. And they have always denied they were on acid or any other drugs. This was just their imagination.

    Which show was your favorite?

    My top 5:

    1. Land of the Lost
    2. H.R. Pufnstuf
    3. Lidsville
    4. Bugaloos
    5. Dr. Shrinker

    Electra woman and dynagirl; Bigfoot and wildboy. I’d kind of like to dig up magic mongo.

    And don't forget The Far Out Space Nuts.

    I used to watch the Supershow every week.

    And, of course, Joy from The Bugaloos was my first love.

    Whether they personally were hi (puffin the stuff) or not, I don't know, their shows were absolutely trippy to say the least.
    If there wasn't media proof these things existed, i'd have thought did I just imagine that?
    Favorites:
    Bugaloos have a vague memory of them, (although that firefly creeped me out) I remember the kids were great, fun!
    Land of the Lost probably my favorite, as indicated in the other thread the Sleestaks terrified me, but kept me riveted.
    That other not Speed Buggy, remember seeing a few of those.
    Far Out Space Nuts was pretty dumb, but fun! probably caught a few of those LOL!
    Banana Splits, I liked the Hanna Barbera cartoon segments (Secret Squirrel/Atom-Ant), but the mascots had a spazzy energy and look,that made me uneasy and I would change channels if they came on.
    Edit: Looking on wiki just now, I was likely watching the later syndicated in 1971 version with new HB cartoons , not the original Splits run?

    My overall impression even as a kid, was this is some weird stuff.

    I was born later on after those shows first came on the air, but saw the reruns. I enjoyed H.R. Puffnstuff, Land Of The Lost, Bugaloos, and the Great Space Coaster.

    I guess Sid and Marty sued McDonald's over the Ronald McDonaldland commericals in the early 70's.

    Electra Woman and Dyna Girl and Bigfoot and Wildboy from the Krofft Supershow were my favorites as well.

    I also watched HR Pufnstuf when I was younger, but I don't really remember what it was all about. Just remember what the character looked like and the name "Witchiepoo."

    I'm guessing you mean Wonderbug from the Krofft Supershow?

    I'm pretty sure you can see a lot of segments on YouTube of various Krofft shows.
