The World of Sid and Marty Krofft is a mixed bag of some very interesting shows, and a bunch of stuff you would just as soon pull the covers over your head and skip Saturday morning completely. However, there may be a favorite of the “puppet shows” that made those LSD trips worth it.

I know nothing of these. Picked up Sigmund and the Sea Monsters based on the look of one of the Monsters, I assume.
While I remember really enjoying “Witchiepoo” as we called “HR Pufnstuff” in my house, I think the fact that I didn’t know the actual title of the show means it loses out to “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters,” which I enjoyed so much that to this day just hearing the title makes the theme song start up in my head.
I grew up with this stuff, and none of it is memorable. I guess HR Pufinstuff because because the villain (Witchiepoo) was scary (to a 5 year old).
I picked Bugaloos because I can still remember some of the theme song.
I remember Sigmund and the Sea Monsters more but I had to choose the Bugaloos because even at a young age I remember having a crush on the girl.
What? No “Land of the Lost”?
