Farewell to Sid Krofft (1929-2026).
He spent decades as a puppeteer — including opening for stars like Judy Garland — before he and brother Marty (1937-2023) created + produced some of the most memorable kids shows of the 1970s.
“I get a dream, and Marty gets it done,” Sid said of their partnership.

Marty Krofft (1937-2023) was born on this date.
With brother Sid — center, still with us at 96 — he created memorably trippy kids shows like H.R. PUFNSTUF, SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS, LAND OF THE LOST and more.
The 1970s was a great time to be a kid, and these guys were a big part of why.

James Garner made his debut as Jim Rockford on this date in 1974.

I watched MeTV's Rob Reiner tribute tonight.
For all its biting social commentary, ALL IN THE FAMILY was still a sitcom, and Archie and Mike's generational rivalry gave the comedy its most relatable situation.
Reiner and Carroll O'Connor's chemistry was honest and affectionate. They're a duo for the ages.

CHARLIE'S ANGELS, FANTASY ISLAND, HART TO HART and HAWAII 5-O are coming to MeTV in Jan.
As far as I know, only one of these — HAWAII 5-O — is currently on a national network.
All are streaming, but the Sony-owned shows cycle in and out and are rarely in one place for long. So this is good news.
