Sid Krofft (born July 30, 1929) and Marty Krofft (April 9, 1937 – November 25, 2023),[2] known as The Krofft Brothers and born as Cydus and Moshopopoulos Yolas,[1] were a Canadian sibling team of television creators, writers and puppeteers. Through their production company, Sid & Marty Krofft Pictures, they made numerous children's television and variety show programs in the U.S., particularly in the 1970s, including H.R.
