1987 "Popeye and Son" Show Teaser and Titles

[jeshua4adonai]

Sounds like the Beach Boys haha

[Xiane1991]

Popeye is blonde lol exept his hair is just a tiny hair

[BluWolf1988]

Thank god I was too young to experience this abomination. Though I just had to click the play button, didn't I?

[Errorfunnylooking]

I really need a link to watch this anyone any links for free and legal???

[IWasAPepper]

I think Olive Oyl had an affair since that kids looks nothing like Popeye (or her).

[AnEvilBastard]

...That happened.

[steamerthesteamtrain]

i like 1930's popeye

[eques101]

It....it......it burns

[keniakittykat]

god, it must've been at least 10 years since I saw this! ... And I thought I'd be all nostalgic about it but it was more like this cold chills of 'whatthefuckwasIthinkingwhenIw­atchedthat??!!'

it's like anti-stalgic, you know?

[GeneralOlde]

A grim reminder of what the majority of cartoons in the 80s were like. Thank fucking god those days are gone forever. This shit was the pits.

[cha5]

Did Jack Mercer actually voice Popeye in this cartoon? if so that would be the only thing worthwhile about this cartoon. I'm sure it would be hard to create a saturday morning cartoon that could measure up to the Segar strip and the Fleischer toons but I really wish they could have at least tried to do better than this Popeye & Son cartoon.

[JohnSilverfan01]

@cha5 Not possible. Mercer died in '84. This was made in '86. Mercer's final appearance was actually in the live action film of Popeye when we see the animated character in the opening and he had but one line, "Hey! What is this? One of Bluto's tricks? I'm in the wrong movie!" Four years later, he died.

[cha5]

@JohnSilverfan01 Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.

[31wozza]

WHAT POPEYE HAD SEX HE MUST OFF KILLED HER IN BED LOL

[WizzoPro9476]

Saturday Mornings CBS 1987-88 11/10c!

[OldSchoolRasslin]

this cartoon was utter crap.

[AllRequired]

It might have been garbage in its day, but it's leagues ahead of most of today's stuff.

[Jesterclown17]

I remember as kid in the 90's, I really dug popeye... but I never even heard of this... until today...

I'm glad.

[MDthornton83]

I remember this show. And I especially remember the kid.

[jvcc31]

where are the full eps of popeye and son???

DVD,torrent,website????

where is all thet,

help me,thank you.

[VALENTINEproductions]

show sucked but i really enjoy watching the opening titles. reminds me when i was a kid and the 80s. 

[TheWolfBunny2]

I wonder if this will be brought back on Boomerang. With the All-New Popeye hour.

[RegenerationStorm]

Oh my god I remember this from YEARS AGO! :O

[MJ4EVRBABY]

What the hell? Popeye's kid with blonde hair. Dam I think if they do make a remake they should have the kid look Popeye or Olive at least, yeesh! Is that too much to ask?!

[eszettfromhell]

Why would you ever build a hospital at a top of a massive hill

[56thAlbanyProd]

do you have all of these? I'd love to get copies. I loved this show as a kid, I have lots to trade.

[Evilacidfunker]

this tune explains why i love the beach boys, i listened to this about a million times when i was a kid then i the first beach boys tune i heard i loved, coincidence?

[Smartboy8877]

@Evilacidfunker

As a pre-teen, I was also crazy about the Beach Boys!

[BboyFiZiX]

hahah :D love olive in her 80's soccer mom tracksuit garb :)

[LarryBundyJr]

I thought Sweet Pea was Popeye's son.

[Frankenstein61]

@LarryBundyJr i can explain popeye renamed sweet pea to popeye jr because popeye thought naming his own son after a vedgetable would be weird

[LarryBundyJr]

@Frankenstein61 Ah thanks, is that explained in an episode?

[cha5]

@LarryBundyJr No Popeye adopted Sweet Pea and raised him as his very own son.

[LarryBundyJr]

@cha5 So... what happened to Sweet Pea, as he's not in this show.

[cha5]

@LarryBundyJr No idea, plus there's no mention of his four nephews either (who looked alot more like Popeye than this blonde haired kid does, illegitimate child maybe?) although I never really watched this cartoon all that much, I was always more of a fan of the Segar Popeye strip and the Fleischer cartoons.

[Smartboy8877]

@LarryBundyJr

I have often wonder about that too. I wonder if it was ever explained in an episode.

[GreatBigSea1968]

The guy who voiced Popeye's son retired from the business at age 14. He's now a lawyer, according to the offical Popeye Fan Club.

[andoc]

I'm probably wrong, but didn't Bluto married Olive's sister or something? Which would mean Bluto and Popeye are uncles to the other's son! And that their children are cousins! Hah, I bet Christmas with the grandparents were *very* interesting if that was true.

[nihgtzero]

geez blutto's wyfe is horrible

[LarryBundyJr]

@nihgtzero You'd have done better than marry Rosanne Barr :D

[56thAlbanyProd]

how many of these do you have?

[gamermik76]

i'm glad popeye married olive oil

[LarryBundyJr]

@gamermik76 Olive Oil dumped her fiancée for him!

[gamermik76]

@LarryBundyJr that would explain why popeye and olvie oil are married

[powerplayers1]

I JUST REMEMBERED THIS SHOW!

I used to eat spinach b/c of this show! lol

[TherealRNO]

Lest we forget, Popeye's nephews are just that...his nephews with families of their own. As well, Swee'Pea was always only Popeye's "adopticated" son, which probably means that his original parents came to claim him once Popeye and Olive were wed and had a son of their own to truly raise. And if it is not right, we can chuck this show up to being from an alternate reality.

[TherealRNO]

"and that's all we got in the 1980s, cartoons based off of toys, video games, TV shows and movies"

So? Promotional tools or not, they rocked for a majority of people. Mario, Sonic, the TMNT, Transformers, G.I. Joe...they all rocked. Disney rocked also via The Disney Afternoon block that started in the late 80's/early 90's as a compilation of shows like Gummi Bears, DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, and more. So don't sell the 80's short.

[powerplayers1]

YEAH!

[TherealRNO]

poweplayers1: Which are you agreeing with? XD

[powerplayers1]

everything you said, especially the part about not sellign the 80's short.

[TherealRNO]

powerplayers1: Oh. Thanks for the clarification.

[amrika5]

oh my days, what a classic cartoon!, love it

[Lukyo1984]

Hmmm. What happened to Sweepy

[RoyStantz]

Probably a bad case of the Chuck Cunningham Syndrome, I'd say...

[Svankmajer]

I miss this series.

[damieandark]

So 80s but it had an amazing beach boys inspired theme tune.

Someone post the lyrics!!!

[nk3219]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! dude i remember this cartoon!!!***

[ELASTICAMAN]

growing up i watched old popeye cartoons that robin williams movie and this

and to be honestly pop like son if my favourite incarnation

[MelanieLouM]

Close...but no Segar!! ^_^

[Shoknifeman]

Good one ^_^

[michaeljimpogi23]

i love this cartoon!

[Shoknifeman]

What a terrible insult to Segar's legacy, this show was.....good riddance to it!

[Hotshotter3000]

Even though this show does bring back some memories, I would have to agree with you on that part.

[Zorianff9]

That's true, some shows were mediocre and useless like Super Mario Bros The Legend of Zelda Captain N (lame adaptations of video games).

But don't go all negative, it's not a perfect world but it's not everything shitty.

In the 90's, you had marvelous shows like Batman and X-men South Park Captain Planet Disney shows etc..., and some shitties like Sonic and movies adaptations, I especially regret having been fanatic of Saban's gay shows (Power Rangers etc...) using footages of japanese stuffs.

[TherealRNO]

Zorianff9: A lot of our American shows were themselves animated overseas via companies like AKOM, Toei (sp?), Saban, et al. But, really...I wouldn't say all of the--as you put it--"shitty" shows were as bad as you claim. The fact that Sonic "SatAM" still has a fanbase to this day proves that it was a hit when it aired, even though it lost to MMPR in the ratings, not to mention that a new ABC president hated the show & had the gall to cancel it just as it was to start a third season.

[Zorianff9]

You've gotta be retarted, or maybe ignorant.

We had 3 Disney animated series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heathcliff, Garfield, Real Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice, Police Academy, Tundercats, Dennis the Menace, and especially the most popular and wonderful show The Simpsons.

And many japanese series including Ranma 1/2 (greatest comedy/romance) and especially DragonBall (the most extraordinary manga in history).

[PabloBsAs2009]

Ese es cocoliso adolecente?

[bigg3469]

No, etso Muchacho no es Cocoliso ni uno de los cuatro sobriinos de Popeye.

[TheDarkThunder]

Yeah and I didn't like it when they made Goof Troop either., looks too much alike.

[hinsert]

can someone please post the exact lyrics? :)

[ghostbusterguy2001]

what ever hapened to sweetpee?

[bigg3469]

Swee'pea as well as Popeye's four nephews (Pipeye,Peepeye,Poopeye & Pupeye) were "bumped off" the series to make room for "Popeye Jr".

[ghostbusterguy2001]

fasanating

[RoyStantz]

It's too bad though, I'd loved to have seen what Swee'Pea and the nephews would've looked like as teenagers/young adults. I'm just saying.

[ghostbusterguy2001]

@RoyStantz i know right

[HSF828]

The Beach Boys-type theme song was by far the best element of this show. While the animation was done overseas, the opening titles were animated by H-B veteran Ed Love.

[gundamredframe]

I think your future is pretty much planned for you when your parents name you "Tank".

[anxresi]

There was no future for this show it TANKED :)

[Superstarseven]

His gay what?

[HarryPartridge]

Being an old school Popeye fanboy my Dad basically haemorrhaged when he saw this mess...

But being an 80s kid I loved it, take that Pop!

[rufioestrada]

Didn't even know they had an 80's cartoon version of Popeye. Not only am I startled, I'm glad I've never heard of it.

[VALENTINEproductions]

My one question is what the fuck happened to sweet pea. He must be somewhere pissed!

[bigg3469]

Yeah! & don't forget his nephews Pipeye,Pupeye,Poopeye & Peepeye. They must have been just as pissed offed for being "cut"

from this animated nightmare!

[AustinTaylor9]

Can someone pretty please

upload some POPEYE AND SON episodes?

[KeenyFox]

It wasn't great in it's day, and it's certainly no better now, but it's still more inspired than many of the things made today :(

[NETGURU2525]

Eugh roadside spinach....I mean seriously?

[pytko3]

Everytime Popeye's son ate spinach and swallowed it, he would always say,"Yuck!", but that never kept him from eating it. He was always for spinach.....no matter how bad it tasted to him. lol!

[FroggoFan64]

And in a piece of irony, Warner Bros. is putting out a DVD of THIS show instead of shows that actually deserve the DVD treatment (*cough*Road RoversandHisteria*cough*).

[WaggonerCartoons3]

I've got good news for you, Warner Bros. canceled the DVD release.

[narutomustgonow]

I miss Road Rovers. This show along with Pink Panther and sons and even Bill and Joe's own Flinstones and their legendary cat and mouse team Tom and Jerry proved how LOW Hanna Barbera could go to bastardize and destroy CLASSIC cartoon properties. Saying that and looking back I (still) am a HB fan but I know when producers go too wild . I'm thankful that Warner and Disney revived their world-beating animation divisions by then, thus giving HB a much needed humbling.

[gundamredframe]

Ha, Bluto ended up marrying a fat girl instead of the aneroxic girl.

[ultimatekeez]

Also why does Olive look like she's going for a morning jog?

[ultimatekeez]

I saw this peice of shit on DVD as a claw machine toy once.

[Fragglelvr]

I remember seeing this episode when I was little, I remember the figurehead, and I think it was evil or something, it's been years since I've seen this show, and none of the tapes that had it still exist

[bursegsardaukar]

The figurehead belonged to Popeye's old enemy the Sea Hag. Junior originally found the figurehead but Bluto and Tank stole it from him and wanted to use it as decoration for their party. Not suprisingly, the Sea Hag, wanting the figurehead back, came and crashed Bluto's party.

[ChuckRoast14]

I remember this show. It's still made of fail.

[tray9012]

Could somebody upload the episodes of Popeye & son?

[IntellectualJunior]

If this is his son, then what the fuck happened to Sweet Pea. Freaking ridiculous, my childhood is forked over once again.

[OmegaX2000]

Does anyone have any of the episodes?

[OmegaX2000]

And another thing. Did anybody else wonder through the whole series why, even tho Junior hates spinach, he still eats it. I mean popeye loves eating spinach? So how can the song even say like pop, like son? Popeye loves and eats spinach. Junior doesn't like but, still eats spinach. That's why I never understood this show half the time. I'll explain what I mean later.

[TherealRNO]

OmegaX: Actually, in the original comic strip, Popeye originally detested spinach, but ate it 'cause it is what he used to save the day. So indeed, that part of the "like father, like son", they did get right.

[TherealRNO]

Also, lest we forget, Popeye's nephews are just that...his nephews with families of their own. As well, Swee'Pea was always only Popeye's "adopticated" son, which probably means that his original parents came to claim him once Popeye and Olive were wed and had a son of their own to truly raise.

[OmegaX2000]

That all does seem right.

[TherealRNO]

Omega: And if it's not, we can chuck this show up to being from an alternate reality.

[OmegaX2000]

Now that I can believe.

[Shoknifeman]

Not true, he always loved the stuff....the only place Popeye hated spinach was in the Robin Williams movies

[TherealRNO]

Shoknife: In the original "Thimble Theatre" Popeye strip, Popeye DID dislike spinach at first. It wasn't until later with the Fliesher's cartoon adaptations that spinach truly became Popeye's core food.

[Shoknifeman]

Well, you may or may not be right, all  could find was this on te subject: In the comic strip Thimble Theater where Popeye debuted, Segar originally didn't give any explanation for why Popeye was so tough. Later, as he kept getting queries about the Sailorman's strength, he had Popeye explain it by saying that he had eaten spinach every day from the time he was a lad.

[TherealRNO]

Shoknifeman: In the comics, his "Poopdeck" Pappy force-fed the spinach to his son, and so, even though he detested it, Popeye grew accustomed to the leafy vegetable. Like father like son, apparently, since Popeye and Olive were wed in the "Wedding of Popeye & Olive" comic: photobucket . com /albums/ a2/TherealRNO /PopeyeWedOlive . jpg

[Shoknifeman]

Well, I don't know which comics you mean cause, in the originals by Segar, when Popeye met his father for the "first time in 40 years" Pappy told him all he had to eat on the Island was spinach and he asked Popeye whether he ever ate it, prompting Popeye to laugh.

[Shoknifeman]

(Cause he ate it all the time). Secondly, the Wedding of Popeye & Olive was a non-cannon one off comics series (with horrible art, I might add); the only time Popeye was force fed spinach by his Dad was the Robin Williams movie, it never happened in Segar's World; and Segar is the man who created Thimble Theatre.

[TherealRNO]

Segar created Thimble Theatre, but Popeye became a breakout star and thus, Segar's greatest creation.

[Mysterioso20]

Meh, every big cartoon series has done something of this (either babies, teens or adults, if the stars are children), it's just another way of extending the life of a cartoon series if the writers run out of original material otherwise. It can also be used when exploiting a new market.

[qtboy2008]

Too bad I never seen this series at all. Only the old ones and the other popeye show.

[JMFabianoRPL]

Popeye - Jack Mercer + Nonviolence from the All-New Popeye Hour + Unnecessary and dumb addition to the formula = worst Popeye series ever. Yes, worse than the KFS shorts supposedly are, and even worse than the pacifistic H-B series of the '70s.

[narutomustgonow]

same thing here

[dmasai12]

yo tell me why olive oil looks like lyman from the garfield comics. lol

[cha5]

I think Popeye's "son" is illegitimate or adopted, At least his four nephews looked somewhat like him, Not this kid.

[1060893]

This show sucked major ass on so many levels. Maurice LaMarche was great on Animaniacs. Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey on Full House) was much better at the Popeye voice.

[signmanj]

His voice is the WORST! What a disgrace to Popeye. The artwork was the worst. NO WONDER it only lasted a few episodes!

[signmanj]

What a TERRIBLE Popeye voice. Also the artwork STINKS. NO WONDER it only made it a few episodes.

[Urvy1A]

Since the Orginal Cartoons are released on DVD (Vol.1 was released this year), would they release this on DVD as well?

[UncleCathode]

I wouldn't hold my breath, but stranger things have happened.

[pokemanmaster03]

@Urvy1A They were GOING to release this on DVD before the Fleischer Popeye DVDs were even released, but it was THANKFULLY cancelled. And thank goodness it was. This show was absolutely horrible.

[InYourFaceNewYorker]

This show came out in 1987, not 1986. And ha, like Bluto would have a monogomous relationship with anyone! :)

[kieranismyname]

why does Popeye just sound like a generic pirate here, seriously... shiver me timbers? What about "well blow me down"?

[UncleCathode]

Hmmm...I think you're right, Ace!

[GozerJr]

It's no wonder to me why this only lasted 13 episodes, you just dont mess with a good formula!
