Aroview: Excellent sampler of the children’s television productions made by the Krofft brothers, whose most famous hit was perhaps 'H.R. Pufnstuf', but who reworked the formula into equally memorable shows such as ‘The Bugaloos’ and ‘Sigmund the Sea Monster’.
Freely inspired by 'The Wizard of Oz', this presents a nostalgic window into the psychedelic era of kids TV that possesses an enduring brand of colourful production design and zany humour all of its own.
Set showcases one episode from 13 different series -
Disc 1: 'H.R. Pufnstuf' (1969), ‘The Bugaloos’ (1970), ‘Lidsville’ (1971), ‘Sigmund the Sea Monster’ (1973).
Disc 2: 'Land Of The Lost' (1974), 'Far Out Space Nuts' (1975), 'The Lost Saucer' (1975), 'Electra-Woman & Dynagirl' (1976).
Disc 3: 'Dr. Shrinker' (1976), 'Wonderbug', 'Magic Mongo', 'Bigfoot & Wildboy' (1977), 'Pryor's Place' (1984).
Also available: 'Saturday Mornings With Sid And Marty Krofft', a five episode compilation of pilots for 'H.R. Pufnstuf', ‘The Bugaloos’, ‘Lidsville’, ‘Sigmund the Sea Monster’, 'Land Of The Lost'.
