Episode 423 – Growing Up with Sid & Marty
Transcript
Where did Sid and Marty Krofft get their start? How did two puppeteers end up shaping an entire generation of children’s television? Which rising stars first appeared on their shows? Why were their early products so fantastical and psychedelic? What surprising connections did their series have with Star Trek? Why did Land of the Lost become their most popular and longest‑running show—and what is the deeper tragedy of Enik that still resonates with fans today? Why were so many of their series left without true finales? And what do the Osmonds have to do with the Krofft productions? Join Mark Baumgarten, Vicky Jakubowski, Juan Sanmiguel, and special guest Paul Weimer as we dive into the wild, colorful, and wonderfully bizarre world of Growing Up with Sid & Marty Krofft.
