"The World of Sid and Marty Krofft" is a three-tape compilation of classic Saturday morning kids' television. The three tapes contain one episode each from 13 different Krofft series. For the most part, these programs were produced and initially aired in the 1970s. The collection as a whole is a wild mix of fantasy, science fiction, puppetry, and comedy.
Many of these shows still hold up remarkable well after all these years. "H.R. Pufnstuf," the fantasy about a human boy marooned on a magical island, is loaded with bizarre puppets and surreal, hallucinogenic imagery. Young "Pufnstuf" star Jack Wild has a fun song-and-dance number in this episode. "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters" features one of kid TV's most lovable characters in Sigmund, the tentacled sea creature who befriends human boys Johnny and Scott. Also fun is "The Lost Saucer," a sci-fi comedy that is greatly energized by the comic chemistry of stars Ruth Buzzi and Jim Neighbors; the two play friendly androids. "Saucer" also features some fun visual touches, such as the Chickaphant (a huge mutant chicken/elephant hybrid).

But the best of the Krofft shows is probably "Land of the Lost," a remarkable attempt to combine serious family drama and science fiction in a children's show. The LOTL episode in this set, "Skylons," revolves around the mysterious alien technology which the Marshall family finds in their strange home.
