Any child of the ’70s will appreciate this — Sid and Marty Krofft are bringing their blend of psychedelic kids programming to MySpace. The social network will feature kitschy kids programming like H.R. Pufnstuf, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, The Bugaloos, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl and more.

Enjoy this Cha-ka-licious bit of dinosaur goodness from Land of the Lost (it looks better than that upcoming Journey to the Center of the Earth movie).

The shows have been condensed into 3 to 5 minute “Krofft Kwikies,” with most of that time being eaten up by the theme song, which, let’s be honest, is the best part (sing it with me: Marshall, Will and Holly, on a routine expedition…). To their credit, these shows are still mind-bending, even by today’s standards — though they are silly and not quite as entertaining as our memories of them. The Onion may have summed it up best with this classic: “Nostalgic Memories of Land of the Lost Ruined by DVD Release.”

As part of an overall makeover rolling out over the next week, MySpace has completely redesigned its video player. Long ago we’d gotten into the habit of avoiding watching video on MySpaceTV because of its atrocious player and load times, so in this case, change is definitely good.

The new player is nicely cleaned up and includes feature additions such as full-screen, remembering your last volume preference, recommendations, timestamps, and international versions. It was developed in-house.

Unfortunately the changes aren’t showing up in embeds just yet, so you’ll have to click through.

Best-selling author Paulo Coelho is working with MySpace to integrate UGC elements into his filmThe Experimental Witch, which is an adaptation of his book, The Witch of Portobello.

Users can select one of the 15 characters from Portobello and create a short film or music video based on one of the narratives in the book. Entries will be posted to MySpaceTV and to Coelho’s MySpace profile, and Coelho himself will select 15 videos that will be edited together to create a 52-minute TV movie. Winning filmmakers will also receive $4,638.

Using the community is a natural extension for Coelho, whose previous work The Alchemist is about following one’s dreams. And it looks like this MySpace UGC movie will have a little more “U” in it than its other community film, Faintheart.
