Sigmund and the Sea Monsters

This Saturday morning series, produced by Sid and Marty Krofft Productions for NBC, starred Billy Barty as a sea monster named Sigmund who found his way into the human world. He was befriended by two boys who helped Sigmund elude his sea monster family.

The series ran for two seasons, from 1973 to 1975. It was the first Krofft show to last more than one season.

Tropes used in Sigmund and the Sea Monsters include:

Abusive Parents: Kidnaping Sigmund has become routine for them!
All Animals Are Dogs: Prince the Lobster barks and gets walked on a leash.
Expository Theme Tune: The second season used this.
The Danza: Johnny Whitaker and Scott Kolden played Johnny and Scott Stuart, respectively.
Fantastic Comedy
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Big Daddy and Sweet Mama strongly resemble Archie and Edith Bunker.
