TV Shows With Cartoon Versions

[anotherguyTN]

Fraidy Cat and Wacky and Packy have been on some dollar PD DVDs, but I haven't seen MUSH on any of them.

There was also "Punky Brewster" which became the animated series "It's Punky Brewster."

Did anyone mention "Alf"? In the cartoon version it was about Alf and the rest of his family. In one episode I saw, they had some human visitors but it turned out the humans were really hand puppets.

The muppet babies was another one.

In a way, Inspector Gadget had some similarity with Get Smart. Including hiring Don Adams to do Gadgets voice.

Hmm...In the opposite direction, the animated "Tick" became a live-action prime time show.

Hmm...In the opposite direction, the animated "Tick" became a live-action prime time show.

Likewise with "Police Academy," "Robocop" and "Bill & Ted." All three started out as movies before going animated then live action. Soon "Teen Wolf" will join the list when MTV starts airing the live reboot.

The 1990s version of "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" later became an animated series, with Melissa Joan Hart playing one of Sabrina's aunts, and her sister Emily playing Sabrina.

Another Saturday morning cartoon spawned by a movie: Journey to the Center of the Earth.
This one was on for may be two years about 1968. Seems to me it ran on ABC.
A group of four encounter "other people" and adventures on their way to center of the earth.
I'm pretty sure it was a HB production, and the later Adventures of Gulliver had much of the same feel.

While Gulliver was a Hanna-Barbera production, Center of Earth was Filmation's, in a co-pro with 20th Century Fox.

There was also "The King Kong Show" (1966), which was co-produced by Rankin-Bass and Toei Animation of Japan.

My Favorite Martians
Jeannie

I never heard of these. I looked them up on YouTube. They look bad even by cartoon standards

When I was a kid I thought the Jeannie cartoon character was hot-plus she had a bumbling male Genie sidekick named Babboo. "RAZZLE DAZZLE!"

Since someone else in this thread mentioned Scooby Doo, I thought I would mention a few things about Jeannie(since Boomerang airs the New Scooby Movies episode with her quite often): I do agree that the cartoon Jeannie was pretty cute with her ponytail and all.

She was voiced by the way by actress(I think) Julie McWhirter who later got married to radio disc jockey Rick Dees, he of his novelty Top 40 hit back in the 70's Disco Duck, as well as his radio countdown show the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40(really original name I know

Anywho, Jeannie's sidekick/apprentice was named Babu, and was voiced by one time member of the Three Stooges Joe Besser; his catchphrase was "Yapple Dapple!" BTW

I know I'm getting a bit off-track, since we're supposed
to be talking about primetime shows which had a cartoon
version but I can't help mentioning some shows which were
based (loosely) on a primetime hit. I've already mentioned
These Are The Days; two others, based on All In The
Family started in 1972: The Barkleys (1972-73 on NBC)
and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home (1972-74, syndicated).

There was also at least one based on a movie: Butch Cassidy And
The Sundance Kids.

For the record an episode of "Wait til Your Father Gets Home" did feature an episode with Monty Hall doing "Let's Make a Deal" with Harry Boyle's wife Irma appearing on the show.

Last year in Palm Springs, out of luck the group I was with had seen Monty at a local VONNS supermarket. He was very nice to all of us that is until I had asked him about his appearance on this show. Monty said..well lets just say that this site won't allow it uncensored since what he had said had contained a certain word that begins with "F" and ends with "K" and add the word "You" to it....ah I am pretty sure that you will get the idea as to what Monty Hall had told our group.

Maybe Monty Hall had a very bad experience with Hanna-Barbera, I dont know but he did leave in a hurry with his six pack of Diet Dr. Pepper and a box of Kelloggs Corn Flakes in tow.

Couple things: While Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids had the same name as a famous movie, it had nothing to do with the actual movie

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids(which I saw back in the late 90's/early 2000s on Cartoon Network, so I'm sort of familiar with it), was about a team of teenage secret agents who doubled as a... rock band(Go figure ;D) and would play music and solve mysteries in between performances(again go figure ;D)

Interesting on the Monty Hall thing too, I remember him doing voices for an episode of the Disney cartoon American Dragon Jake Long back in like 2004/2005(I wonder if he had a better experience with Disney then he did Hanna Barbera?).

Gene Roddenberry declared the animated Star Trek is not canon.

Not surprising. One of the more interesting episodes of the cartoon was based on a Larry Niven "Known Space" short story -- and mixing the "Known Space" and "Star Trek" universes would have made for a bit of a mess.

Although I have to say that having the Enteprise pay a visit to Ringworld would be really, really cool!
