* LaughTrack: When the Kroffts brought on veteran producer Si Rose to help them with ''H.R. Pufnstuf'' (and he eventually executive produced a majority of their earlier shows), Rose persuaded them to use a laugh track, reasoning that a funny show without a laugh track was a handicap. The Kroffts were skeptical at first, but eventually agreed, and as such, most Sid and Marty Krofft productions (save for both versions of ''Land Of The Lost'', since they were more dramatic) contain one.

In the 1970s, Canadian brothers Sid (born July 30, 1929) and Marty (April 9, 1937 – November 25, 2023) Krofft were to live-action children's TV what Creator/HannaBarbera was to animation. Their first series, ''Series/HRPufnstuf'', debuted in 1969 and established their signature production style: fantastic creatures, usually with thick fur or oversized heads; a "stranger in a strange land" motif; fearsome but comical villains; and clever wordplay and visual gags. Of course, not all of those elements appeared in all Krofft shows. [[QuirkyWork And what on earth do you mean, their work wasn't made on drugs?]]

Possibly the most interesting piece of Krofft history was their 1971 lawsuit against the UsefulNotes/McDonalds Corporation. When the fast-food chain couldn't get the Kroffts to license ''H.R. Pufnstuf'' for use in their commercials, they blatantly plagiarized ''Pufnstuf'' to create [="McDonaldland"=] and its characters. The case went to trail in 1977, with both a district court and subsequent appeals court finding in favor of the Kroffts.
