For those of us who grew up as kids during the 1970s, amidst a sea of bell bottoms, day-glo colors and hair and fashion that became wildly anachronistic as soon as it was introduced, one of the great joys was watching children’s programming on television. From Saturday mornings to weekday afternoons, there was a high amount of kids shows to be watched and re-watched again and again, mainly animated fodder ranging from funny (Warner Brothers cartoons) to action-packed (Johnny Quest) to all in between (Scooby-Doo). There were also live-action programs that were produced, mainly by the brothers Krofft, Sid and Marty respectively, which were equally as popular and now, mired in the zeitgeist of the times as quintessential 70s artifacts.

One of the most popular programs that came from their production studios was Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, which is now getting a TV reboot from Amazon Studios via a pilot order.
