Sid Krofft of Sid and Marty Kroft has passed away

I remember I was writing a children's books 20 something years later and was like I'll name my villains The Bbogaloos and then realized what the nanewas VERY influenced from I was like FUCK !

Worked with a truly nasty woman who did way too many fillers and looked like a freak. We called her "Cha-ka" behind her back.

I made my 27 yr old son watch HR Puffenstuff with me. I think he was a little confused

Those same three guys in their Sleestac pajamas every episode! Funny today, nightmare fuel as a kid

So many fucking nightmares because of these two, between the Sleestacks, witchypoo, that talking flute and...whatever the fuck was going on in Lidsville.

It's offset by the pure creative genius and how mind-expanding Land of the Lost was, but mannnnn these fucks scared me as a kid.

As a lifelong Georgian, I love to go down the wormhole of when they built a mini theme park in the Omni hotel back in the 70's.

It's also where they filmed the Kroft Supershow and you can see a bit of it in the opening theme.

Thank you for the link. It did show the Omni hotel and the Atlanta skyline. Very cool.

Dear Mr. Kroft: Thank you for channeling all the psychedelics you did into quality children's programming. Love, Generations X and Jones.

Still occasionally sing the HR PuffnStuff song to myself. They were definitely puffin some stuff when they came up with it.

lectroid@reddit

I wonder if he was still tripping from all the drugs he clearly did back in the day?

The minds that came up with H R Puffinstuff and Lidsville clearly had a primo connect.
