Here's a short video about Sid and Marty Krofft, two men I had the pleasure of working for for many years…and as I just typed that, I realize that "working" is the wrong word. First off, you didn't work for the Kroffts. You got adopted into the family. Secondly, I'm not sure I can describe what it felt like but it certainly didn't feel like work.
That's Marty doing the talking in this video. He's right when he says they're the only guys who were doing TV for kids in the seventies who've survived to this day. And he's right when he says they remained independent — fiercely so. There's never been anything else like them and there never will be again…
