Groovie Goolies is an American animated television show that original ran on network television between 1970 and 1972. Produced by Filmation, Groovie Goolies was a spinoff of Sabrina the Teenage Witch Show. Like most Saturday morning cartoons of the era, Groovie Goolies contained an adult laugh track. In 1977, the show entered syndication as part of an anthology series entitled The Groovie Goolies and Friends, which featured over 104 half-hour episodes. The syndication format featured new opening credits and "bumpers" featuring the Goolies interacting with characters from the various shows, while the original end credits for each series was retained. The syndication package included The New Adventures of Waldo Kitty, Lassie's Rescue Rangers, The New Adventures of Gilligan, My Favorite Martians, M.U.S.H. , Fraidy Cat, and Wacky and Packy.
Sound
That haunted house organ earworm will live rent-free forever.
Production
Filmation's cheap-o animation somehow adds to the charm.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmation reused animation cycles so aggressively that characters literally teleport between scenes. It's an eco-friendly nightmare.
The 1977 syndication package randomly shoved the Goolies into shows they had nothing to do with, creating the first cinematic universe before Marvel made it cool.
