Farewell to Sid Krofft (1929-2026).

He spent decades as a puppeteer — including opening for stars like Judy Garland — before he and brother Marty (1937-2023) created + produced some of the most memorable kids shows of the 1970s.

“I get a dream, and Marty gets it done,” Sid said of their partnership.

Marty Krofft (1937-2023) was born on this date.

With brother Sid — center, still with us at 96 — he created memorably trippy kids shows like H.R. PUFNSTUF, SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS, LAND OF THE LOST and more.

The 1970s was a great time to be a kid, and these guys were a big part of why.
