The series introduced the team's trademark style of large scale, colorful design, puppetry, and special effects.

I'm no goody two-shoes, but you can't create this stuff stoned." The Krofft OeuvreThe Kroffts also favored quirky superhero stories, often with children involved as the heroes or part of a hero team.

The World of Sid and Marty Krofft was the world's first indoor amusement park, but due to poor attendance it was closed after just six months.

These shows also tended to employ a reliable formula, in this case featuring a celebrity host or team of hosts, weekly celebrity guest performers, flashy and colorful sets, and frequent interludes of scripted banter and gag-driven, "corny," good-natured sketch comedy.The Kroffts have occasionally departed from their successful formula, notably a new version of Family Affair (2002), and the political puppet satire D.C.Follies (1987).

The team has recently attempted to update some of their most popular series for a younger generation, including new versions of Land of the Lost, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, and H.R.Pufnstuf.The Kroffts are often acknowledged for the ambitious vision and creativity of their projects.

In the 1940s, Sid created a one-man puppet show, "The Unusual Artistry of Sid Krofft," and performed it throughout the world.
