'''Sid Krofft''' (born July 30, 1929) and '''Marty Krofft''' (born April 9, 1937) are a Canadian sibling team of television creators and puppeteers. Through their production company, Sid & Marty Krofft Pictures, they have made numerous children's television and variety show programs in the U.S., particularly in the 1970s and early 1980s, including ''H.R. Pufnstuf'', ''Land of the Lost'', ''The Bugaloos'', ''Sigmund and the Sea Monsters'', and ''Lidsville''. Their fantasy programs often feature large-headed puppets, high-concept plots, and extensive use of low-budget special effects. | '''Sid Krofft''' (born July 30, 1929) and '''Marty Krofft''' (born April 9, 1937) are a Canadian sibling team of television creators and puppeteers.
