The Mumbly Cartoon Show is a Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and featuring the titular Mumbly, a cartoon dog detective. It was broadcast on ABC from September 11, 1976 to September 3, 1977 as part of The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape/Mumbly Show. This compilation packaged reruns of the 1975 The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape Show with Mumbly as a new component.[1]
Mumbly is a private eye dog in a trenchcoat, who worked with an assistant, Schnooker, to catch criminals who often sported alliterative names.[1] 16 episodes were produced.[2] Mumbly was voiced by Don Messick, and Schnooker by John Stephenson.[3]
The show was not a ratings success, and only lasted for one season.[2] However, in the next season, Mumbly was included in Hanna-Barbera's crossover show, Laff-A-Lympics, on the villainous "Really Rottens" team.[4] Mumbly was not a villain in his earlier show, but the character was a substitution for the actually-villainous Muttley from the 1969 series Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines, who couldn't appear on Laff-A-Lympics as those characters were co-owned by Heatter-Quigley Productions.[5]
