I rarely find myself getting excited about developments in the world of MySpace, but I'm pretty damn gleeful about the new Sid and Marty Krofft page. The Kroffts had a series of kid shows on network TV, mostly in the 1970s, which featured a lot of scifi themes and geek humor. Krofft shows contained a mix of ongoing serials like Doctor Shrinker and Land of the Lost (now being made into a movie starring Will Ferrell and those alien Sleestaks pictured above — very exciting). Now MySpace is featuring episodes of these cheesetastic treats, cut down to five minutes so you only get the best bits (including the theme songs, which will give you that "OMFG it's the 1970s for real" feeling). Check out a couple of vids below. More »

Brothers Sid and Marty Krofft first came to fame with their touring puppet show "Les Poupées de Paris" in the 1970s which featured topless puppets, and puppet-on-puppet sex long before Avenue Q or Team America. They later made the move to television with the trippy H.R. Pufnstuf in 1969, which they swear was not drug influenced, nor was the Donny & Marie show, which they created as well. But here at io9, we'll always remember their wacky-ass forays into science fiction. Find out everything you wanted to know about the Krofft scifi shows of yesteryear in today's triviagasm. More »
