Far Out SciFi Worlds of Sid and Marty Krofft

Brothers Sid and Marty Krofft first came to fame with their touring puppet show "Les PoupĂ©es de Paris" in the 1970s which featured topless puppets, and puppet-on-puppet sex long before Avenue Q or Team America.

It struck their tiny raft and plunged them down a thousand feet below, to the Land of the Lost. Find out more than you wanted to know about this terrific Sid and Marty Krofft show inside, including its connections with Lost, Doctor Who, and Star Trek. More »
