The story behind the inspiration of Sigmund and the Sea Monsters is intersting. What would be a normal every day event to the rest of us became a highly successful television show through the eyes of a visionary: Once while at the beach in La Jolla, California, Sid Krofft saw an incredible piece of seaweed that floated up from a sea cave. He said it looked almost alive. He went for his car so he could take the seaweed creature back home but by the time he got back with his car it had floated back into the water and back to the caves. The rest is history. Because he refused to scare humans, Sigmund the Sea Monster's family harassed him to the point where he was forced to leave his home and wander the beaches alone. He was found and befriended by two brothers, Johnny and Scott who took him back home to live in their clubhouse. The series then follows the misadventures of the two boys and their pet sea monster eluding everyone while Sigmund's family, the Oozes, who each look like a huge lump of sea weed with a face, seek to retrieve him when emergencies arise that require his presence back home at their cave. The show also served as a showcase for Johnny Whitaker and his singing career which gave us one full length record and featured the show's theme song sang by Johnny himself.
