Lidsville

1971–1972 · 1 season

A garish, pun-soaked Saturday-morning romp through a world of talking hats, silly costumes and cheerful villainy.

Overview: Lidsville is Sid and Marty Krofft's third television show following H.R. Pufnstuf and The Bugaloos. As did its predecessors, the series combined two types of characters: conventional actors in makeup filmed alongside performers in full mascot costumes, whose voices were dubbed in post-production. Seventeen episodes aired on Saturday mornings for two seasons, 1971–1973. The opening was shot at Six Flags Over Texas.
How it feels: Absurd, whimsical, campy and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Freedom, power, identity, friendship
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
