1. When you say "Sid and Marty Krofft", my first thought is "drugs".
My second is "Charles Nelson Reilly".

3. They had their own amusement park for a short time,
in the 1970s, in Atlanta. I think it lasted only one year. It was all indoors. CNN's offices now occupy the location.

5. I wonder if the Kroffts did the puppets for McDonald's. HR looks Mayor McCheese-ish.
And the cops look the same too.

7. The Kroffts sued mcdonald's for stealing their ideas and won
Here's an early commercial but be warned, you'll probably want to drop acid and go to McDonald's after you see this ad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jboOxvOmgAc :smoke: :hippie:
