Editing Sid and Marty Krofft (section)

==Later years==
The Kroffts have occasionally departed from their formula while making new programs, such as on ''[[Pryor's Place]]'' (1984) and the political puppet satire show ''[[D.C. Follies]]'' (1987). They have attempted to update some of their classic series for a younger generation, including new versions of ''[[Land of the Lost (1991 TV series)|Land of the Lost]]'', ''Electra Woman and Dyna Girl'', ''H.R. Pufnstuf''<ref name=Martindale/> and ''Sigmund and the Sea Monsters''. A new original series, ''[[Mutt & Stuff]]'', aired on [[Nickelodeon]] from 2015 to 2017.

In 2018, the Kroffts received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the [[Daytime Emmys]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Today in Entertainment: Carol Burnett to receive Golden Globe award for TV achievement|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-entertainment-news-updates-2018-htmlstory.html|access-date=October 25, 2020|website=Los Angeles Times|date=December 13, 2018|language=en-US|archive-date=October 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201024101009/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-entertainment-news-updates-2018-htmlstory.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
