Obituary: Marty Krofft, producer of the popular children's show of fifty years ago, H.R. Pufnstuf, died at the age of 86. He worked with his older brother, Sid, on the series. Sid is among Marty's survivors and is 94 years old.
Snip:
The live-action series debuted on NBC in 1969 before getting a second life via reruns on ABC and elsewhere in the 1970s and beyond. The show also spawned the 1970 feature adaptation Pufnstuf.
The brothers — who were born in Montreal, Quebec, and first crafted costumes for Hanna-Barbera's Banana Splits — eventually went on to create Land of the Lost, which premiered on NBC in 1974 and later aired as reruns on other networks.
The show, which spanned 43 episodes, ran for three seasons on NBC, according to IMDB. It followed the story of a family who lived in an earth ruled by dinosaurs and other beings. Land of the Lost eventually appeared on the big screen in 2009, thanks to a film adaptation starring Will Ferrell.
