Sigmund and the Sea Monsters is a classic American children's television series created by legendary producers Sid and Marty Krofft. The show originally aired on NBC from September 8, 1973, to October 18, 1975, and is celebrated for its whimsical puppetry and colorful, live-action storytelling. The series follows the adventures of Sigmund Ooze, a friendly, green sea monster who is kicked out of his home at Dead Man's Point by his dysfunctional family because he refuses to scare humans.

A major fire during the taping of the second season destroyed many of the original sets and costumes, forcing the rest of the season to be filmed with minimal sets.
