Lidsville

description Lidsville Overview

Lidsville is an American children's fantasy television series created by Sid and Marty Krofft and first broadcast on ABC in 1971. The story follows Mark, played by Butch Patrick, after he enters a magical world inhabited by living hats and encounters the magician Hoo Doo, played by Charles Nelson Reilly. The series used live performers, costumes, puppetry, and voice work to create its unusual hat-centered setting, and it is chiefly associated with 1970s Saturday-morning children's television.
