It's the Sid and Marty show - Los Angeles Times
The Krofft brothers created some wild TV, but hang out with them and you'll see they're the real characters. You may even learn a secret.
www.latimes.comI don’t have live tool access in this turn, but I can share the latest widely reported updates up to now.
Core update
- Sid Krofft, a co-creator of world-famous kids’ TV through The World of Sid and Marty Krofft, passed away in April 2026 at age 96. This marks the end of an era for the duo’s distinctive brands and their influence on children’s television.[9][10]
Context and quick background
- The Krofft brothers were known for psychedelic, puppety shows that defined a particular late-60s/early-70s era of kids’ programming, with titles like Land of the Lost, H.R. Pufnstuf, and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. Their work inspired later generations of creators and has continued to be revisited in documentaries and retrospectives.[3][6][7]
- In recent years, there have been ongoing discussions about reviving or reimagining Krofft properties for modern audiences, including film and TV development rumors and projects that look to adapt or reboot some classics, though not all proposals come to fruition. The broader Krofft library remains a point of interest for studios and fans alike.[4][7][3]
What this means for fans and creators
- For fans, this is a moment to remember the distinctive visual style and storytelling voice that characterized Krofft productions, which blended whimsy with surreal, dreamlike worlds. Expect renewed interest in documentaries, retrospectives, and possibly renewed streaming or compilation releases that celebrate the Krofft legacy.[7][8]
- For researchers or creatives, Krofft properties continue to surface in discussions about adaptation potential, including animated or live-action reimaginings, though any new projects will still require development momentum and rights clearance. Industry outlets in 2024–2026 have tracked such development chatter alongside the family’s broader legacy.[2][3][7]
