Sid Krofft Retro Expo March 2023

Saturday Morning Cartoons have given me a lot of ear worms over the years.  And it seems a bunch of them are from Sid and Marty Krofft. Who doesn’t know…Marshall, Willie, and Holly…on a routine expedition…

Sorry if that sticks in your ear for a while.

Retro Expo brought in Sid Krofft. I was happy about that because I loved Land of the Lost and Sigmund the Sea Monster when I was a kid.

I was also happy because a long time ago, I got Marty to sign a DVD cover at SDCC. I think Rhino had a booth and only Marty was there.  I have wanted to get Sid to sign that cover to make it complete.

Sid was great. He chatted and included the others in line to the conversation. When I handed over the DVD cover, he asked why didn’t he sign it when Marty signed.  I told him that he wasn’t there.  He scoffed and said he was ALWAYS at San Diego Comic Con.  I wasn’t to going to argue.

As he signed the other photo, he mentioned he loved Dallas and spent time in Arlington when they filmed the amusement park scenes for the Banana Splits. That’s another ear worm. One Banana, Two Banana, Three Banana, More…

Did that wash out the Land of the Lost theme from your head?
