From 1976 to 1978, the true inspiration for transforming cars ruled the Saturday morning airwaves: Wonderbug, from legendary TV creators Sid and Marty Krofft. Their Krofft Supershow brought you Land of the Lost, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, and most importantly, Wonderbug. More »

While we can appreciate Pogo's remix aesthetic, his audiovisual collage of Sid and Marty Krofft's H.R. Pufnstuf will burrow in your subconscious to lay its eggs. I imagine this is what the Kroffts' defunct indoor theme park felt like. More »

Sid and Marty Krofft, the mad geniuses behind triptacular kids' shows like H.R. Pufnstuf and Land of the Lost, are teaming up with Ruby-Spears Productions to animate comic-book legend Jack Kirby's lost 1980s cartoons. Pass the brown acid, brah. More »

Somehow you always knew television of the 1970s was a Sargasso Sea of crazy, from which no brain emerged unswirled. But nothing was madder than the Krofft Supershow, and their maddest show was Bigfoot and Wildboy. More »

It's easy to forget, with the release of the dino-pee-soaked Will Ferrell comedy, that Land of the Lost was unusually sophisticated Saturday morning fare... complete with the first artificial language ever created for a TV show. More »

A new Land Of The Lost trailer debuted in front of Star Trek this weekend, and the Ferrell-does-Krofft spectacle is starting to grow on us. Like a giant mosquito, engorged on our precious bodily fluids. More »

Far Out Space Nuts is the craziest, most entertaining Sid and Marty Krofft show, as this clip proves. Bird-people have more inventive technobabble threats than us humans, including crenelletation, reticularization, visceratization and flakulation. Absolutely terrifying! More »

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 »

Will Ferrell will star in a remake of 1970s dinosaurs-and-campy-lizards show Land of the Lost. Marilyn Manson's favorite TV show is about a family that gets caught up in a mega-earthquake during an expedition and falls into a prehistoric little enclave full of ape-kids, dinos and lizard guys called the Sleestaks. How will Ferrell's slapsticky style mesh with Land's Sid-and-Marty-Krofft campiness? Here are some hints. More »
