[jellyjeremy]

please put some more on.

The sinhalese language dubbing of this was way funnier than this, and is still popular to this day in Sri Lanka. I just watched this in English for the first time, and I was truly disappointed. I thought originals are supposed to be better than translations, but this is one exception...

[Lasitha2]

@nirmalsuki  Yeah, Dosthara Hodahita, It's way better than English original. To add some, they broadcast once again. Every sunday 7 am SLRC.

To the man from Uncle - I was the Drummer in the "Grasshoppers" we were formed to do this cartoon series and I have been looking for them for years to show my Grandchildren :)) If you could upload two more episodes that would be great!

[djhagler]

Thanks for posting this. Before my time, but I appreciate its historical value and wouldn't get to see it otherwise.

[Bizarronumber4]

Thanks for putting this on Youtube. I remember watching this as a kid and haven't seen it in a long time!

[AVDPhoenix]

Hmmmm I also feel I use to watch this one... but I do not actually remember what was about...

[TheDhee10]

[Kup2105]

Thank you for posting,

searching for this video so long time.

Waiting for any new series.

I remember this. Sam Scurvy looks more like a slimmed down version of George Melly. It was definitely in the wake of Rex Harrison's film version. Wisely or inwisely they didn't include Emma Fairfax. She'd just have become a damsel in distress character like Daphne in Scoocy Doo.

@Cool2BCeltic DOCTOR DOOLITTLE was was a box office bomb in movie theaters in 1967. I saw it on video about ten years ago and it was really bad.

[culpit]

Thank you so much for posting this. I always wondered what this neat series was like after I first saw the opening. :)

[TheManFromUNCLEIllya]

1970 to 1971.

I will later upload 2 more episodes:

'The Barnyard Rumble' & 'The Bird From O.O.P.S.'

Hope you enjoy!

I remember watching this as a child. What year did this show premiere? Please reply if you do.

[qpr60]

In the US, on 12 September 1970 on Saturday mornings; in the UK, on 25 November 1971, on BBC 1 at teatime on Thursdays. It frightened me to death back in the day and it's exactly as I remembered it (I hadn't seen it for nearly 35 years). A great watch, though, and a big thank you to the user who posted it - I thought it had been lost and forgotten about.

[wayzotoichi]

how do you know the air dates??! I am not sure whether I watched this or the 1984 series advertised in imDb..I watched it on BBC around 1989..I wonder if that's available to compare. I lvoe retro toons, thanks mill!!
