The World of Sid and Marty Krofft

Kiddie TV has really evolved over the decades. We expect CGI these days, but obviously, that's pretty new. The old days were far more low-tech, and puppets were employed more often than not. Sid and Marty Krofft were a brotherly duo who had a string of hits 1960s and 70s. They were responsible for smash hits like Land of the Lost and The Banana Splits. Because they were having rating success, they thought they would have amusement park success. How did they get that crazy idea in their heads?

The World of Sid and Marty Krofft was an indoor attraction with rides, crafts, and shows in Atlanta, Georgia. After opening day, almost no one came back. Just six months later, it closed!
