LOS ANGELES (November 1, 2010) – Sid and Marty Krofft changed Saturday mornings forever when the sibling puppeteers unleashed colorful characters like H.R. Pufnstuf and The Bugaloos on a generation of sugary-cereal-fueled kids growing up in the 1970s and ’80s.
After partnering with the Krofft’s earlier this year, Vivendi Entertainment is launching a series of DVD sets and compilations this fall that will spotlight the duo’s iconic catalog of children’s shows. The first DVD release, SID & MARTY KROFFT’S SATURDAY MORNING HITS, will be available at retailers November 30 for a list price of $14.93. The extra includes A PHOTO GALLERY THAT SPANS 50 YEARS OF THE KROFFT’S ARTWORK. Two more DVD releases will follow in January 2011 with H.R. PUFNSTUF: THE COMPLETE SERIES and H.R. PUFNSTUF: THE COMPLETE SERIES COLLECTOR’S EDITION. These two new three-DVD sets will include the entire series, and, for the first time ever on DVD, the rare pilot episode, “Horror Hotel.” The Collector’s Edition will contain a collectible H.R. Pufnstuf bobblehead.
SID & MARTY KROFFT’S SATURDAY MORNING HITS contains more than two and a half hours of beloved Krofft creations with classic episodes from H.R. Pufnstuf, The Bugaloos, Sigmund & the Sea Monsters and Lidsville. It also includes never-before-on-DVD episodes of Electra Woman & Dyna Girl, Bigfoot & Wildboy, and Wonderbug.

The Krofft brothers have been producing entertainment treasured by families for more than 40 years. Sid & Marty rose to prominence in the ’70s with a series of remarkable programs that featured elaborate sets and fanciful characters. H.R. Pufnstuf was the first in a long line of popular programs created by the Kroffts, includingThe Bugaloos, Land Of The Lost, Sigmund & the Sea Monsters and The Krofft Supershow to name but a few. The Krofft’s success led them to produce various prime-time series and specials, including The Brady Bunch Hour,The Donny & Marie Show and Barbara Mandrell & The Mandrell Sisters series.
