    "shes the evil one.."

  • @Slimboyfat1979 Thats the part I remember too lol

  • I Had forgot this also! My God !

  • @ioph3 Its probably originally in Spanish or French or whatever and it has been literally translated

  • omg, i forgot that one

  • Sport Billy premiered in 1980 on NBC on Saturday mornings and ran for only 1 season.

  • I remember this very well. I always wanted his bag of tricks.. he had everything in it. I loved it..But none of my friends remember it. I can't believe it's here, but shouldn't be surprised.

  • I remember one of the VHS tapes of the show had an alternate dub of the episode when they were in the jungle temple.

  • Classic, next Vicky the Viking.

  • I've only ever seen the German and French versions a long time ago. The German songs were much better than the English though.

  • I not only remember this show I was obsessed with it. I was 8 when this came on, and I was glued to the TV. Not only that but I told my mom that when I had kids my daughter was gonna be named Lily. This is when I was 8! LOL Man this really takes me back and it's another great Lou Scheimer production (along with Filmation!)

  • I remember it too, think it's only people in there 30's + that do now :/

  • @staley101

    they sure do i remeber this as yesterday and im 36 now

  • I am sport billy!

  • i remember sport billy!!!

  • I've never heard of the English version before only the Spanish one. I grew up watching this series too.

  • I remember this cartoon very well, it was ace and excellent.

  • I just typed this in at random after locating the Barberpapa opening. I seem to remember this being on Sunday mornings. Anyone remember the Sport Billy PSAs?

  • I still have a Sport Billy pencil sharpener in the shape of the bag somewhere...

  • I had this on video!oh the memories!

  • i use to watch this in english and spanish.

  • Yeah the song like power metal..

  • This cartoon was the VERY first cartoon I had ever seen in my life. I used to watch this show on USA Network's old show "Cartoon Express". This cartoon was great for the time.

  • I remember this show quite well. Shown during the school summer holidays in '82-'84(?) at an odd time. Some time around 11am, when most other kids' programmes had finished. I'm from the Yorkshire region of ITV, so it was shown, 'oop north', as far as I know.

  • This is back when I would watch just about any cartoon on tv. I forgot all about the bag... I just remember he had an unusually deep voice for a kid.

  • I remember it well. Loved it!!!

  • No, I live up North and I loved Sport Billy as a kid! Oh and yes..nobody i know remembers it either!

  • I was told the same - that I must be imagining it, but think it may have not been transmitted 'up North' as lived 'down south' when I watched it.

  • Im 33 now and this was one of my fave cartoons, always wanted that bag ^_^

  • yes i remember this as well, i think it was on for a season or two in the states!

  • WOWWWW....i totally forgot i loved this joint right here when i was a lil' pee wee !!!! now lookin' at it i see sport billy had a man purse. ROFL !!!

  • i want a sport billy bag, goddamit!

  • oohh cool!! i slightly remember this in the 80s when i was a small girl!! good childhood times... i had scholl note books with images of sportbilly!!

  • my husband loved this when he was a kid.. i don't remember it

  • I love Sport Billy!!!! I fell out a tree and broke my arm playing Sport Billy!!!

  • @jakewardable LMAO

  • Oh thnk you RicochetNI for restoring my sanity, I was told for years Sport Billy never existed because absolutely no one else I kno remembers it LOL!

  • @ZePtAt05 lol ur welcome, I had the same problem for years lol

  • @RicochetNI I began to wonder if I'd imagined it too! Amazed how much I could remember from the theme tune/lyrics!!! Thank you :)

  • @RicochetNI yep me too nobody believed me about sport billy. said it never existed. now i can prove them wrong !!!!

  • @ZePtAt05 i don't know anyone that remembers this either

  • @ZePtAt05 Yeah you and I both!

  • @ZePtAt05 Same problem here...so now I finally have some evidence :D

  • @ZePtAt05, yep me too people think I'm crazy when I mention this cartoon...and I actually remembered the name and people still thought I was nuts...but here it is!!! :D

  • @AtomicZero imagne living in the netherlands. i watched it on sky channel and the other dutch kids did not even watch english cartoons

  • @ZePtAt05 OMG Me too, people thought I was making it up!

  • Used to watch this years ago, every Sunday morning with my litte brother

  • did Vanda or was it Vadilia or Vada have some sort of magical evil violin?

  • Δε το πιστευω ο sport billy,xaxaxa

  • AWESOME SHOW!!!! I remember it well, but in my circle I seem to be the ONLY one that remembers it. *sob* Best cartoon series EVER without a doubt. Thankyou so much for sharing.

  • I use to watch this? I think I need a shot of hard liquor right now.

  • i love you sport billy, why did you go away and leave me?

  • @applemac555 He is tired of you : D

  • I watched this when I was a kid!

  • Damn, this takes me back!  Like, 1981, '82. I miss Sipe and Vanda...and the rest of 'em.

  • Quem nunca não desejou ter uma destas mochilas? estragávamos logo o negócio da EMEL :-)

  • Man i was m6 yrs old I think!!! damnnzzzzzz good old timessssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssss

  • @wrathchild1988 HAHAHAHA you no write very good

  • @cheeseburger71

    So Fuckin' What ???

  • I remember one of the tapes had two differant dubs of one of the episodes. (might have been two differant tapes, been over 15 years since i saw them)

  • wow, thanks for the upload. I barely remember this but i watched it in Mexico when I was like 3 or 4 years old.

  • Holy crap.... another cartoon I have totally forgotten.

  • My sister use to have a Sports Billy lunch box

  • I had a lunch box too.

  • WHen i was a kid, my head was extremely large and I think it was because of this cartoon. Large-headedness is not all its cracked up to be and people have got to consider all apects of such a disease before they get their head all big. You will definitely need new hats.

  • i myself have a huge cranial development,and ive always blamed this prick for it,it just seem so cool,but im bald now and its like a fuckin t-rex egg.

  • haha mcjeff

  • me encantaba esta serie

  • Do you also have the end theme-tune?

  • I used to watch this! Brings me memories from my childhood!

  • I consider having been exposed to this as a kid child abuse.

  • Man,. I wished this series was on DVD, but with BCI Eclipse out of business and Entertainment Rights sold to another company (which is US based,btw), it very likely won't be happening. *sigh*

  • Damn, I very very very vaguely remember this. I remember the bag.

  • yay, my older brother got a children's suitcase with sport billy logo!

    (dunno how did he get it, he's from Czechoslovakia, former communist country, now Czech Republic :P)

  • hahaha.. Sports billy's got a magic sack. lmao

  • lmfao...this is funny as shit

  • SIPE, SIPE, SIPE,

  • I vaguely remember watching this in the early 80s...the theme song stuck w/me for the past 25 years! LOL

  • When I looked this up I was thinking exactly the same thing!!!!!

  • holy jesus!!!! my dad got this for me on video back in the late 80s. only ever seen one episode.. was it spanish??

  • greek

  • sport billy? jaaaaajajajajajajaaaa,thats funny the tittle buried oldest cartoon,but i called billy the kid.

  • Comment removed

  • cresci com isto!! heheheh

  • I was searching specifically for sport billy. I've a rucksack here with all kind of extra's i've put on, it reminded me of this cartoon i watched when i was younger. I'll never forget sport billy :)

  • i can confirm with eastlondonaubs - our boss is the best at ever sport ever conceived, ever! (he thinks)

  • my boss is sport billy!

  • I loved the one when he pulled a massive trampoline out of his bag, it was huge!

  • I had a sport billy lunch box..damn i'm old

  • I used to try and skip sunday school to catch Sport Billy and Star Fleet....

    All that was on when I came back would be bonaza, happy days, roots and worzel gummidge,....'downer!!!'

  • STAR FLEET !?!? KICK ASS! That was an mazing kids show. quite gloomy and nasty too if i recall, in terms of it being a kids show i mean. Liked the female leader of the bad guys with the centipede over one eye or sommink !

  • :((((((((((((  I love this cartoon

  • Loved this cartoon!! Good old times =)

  • im 33, fucking hell this takes me back when i was right little shit. 4 i think

  • amazing!! hahaa didn't see this one in decades...

  • I used to watch this when I was like 4 and I loved it! Thank you for uploading!

  • OH MY GOODNESS!!! Thank you so much for uploading this! I remember this from childhood and only 1 of my friends even remotely rembers it. Back in the days when kids actually liked getting out of the house to play sports and not Wii-sports. LOL

  • OMG! i have been looking for this for ages, all i could remeber for years was the mini growing bag, with the mini growing stuff inside. you have no idea some of the results google gave me...

  • Ha! Same here... I knew this existed (used to hire it on video from our local library as a kid all the time!) and remembered the basiscs (magic bag, theme song, two kids, villain) but could not find the theme until now! Thanks to the uploader! Oh, is it weird that as a kid, I had a bit of a "crush" on the villainess???

  • i used to watch this as a kid And aint seen this since 1982 so if u have the full cartoon including the intro id love to see it

  • Sport Billy, Sport Lillie, and Sport Willie.

    Sportikus and Wanda.

    fuck yeah!

  • if we stay children much better than these responsible life

  • croatian version is the best

  • I used to watch it in the UK, late 70s, early 80s.

  • I'd totally forgotten about this cartoon. There were so many during the early 1980s :)

  • This is one of my favorites, long long time ago, when i was like 7 years , now i'm 35....ME ENCANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You know, it might have been '81-'82, but I thought it was more like '79-'80. That's only 2 years difference; maybe I was wrong about that. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, to answer your question.

  • love sport billy, would have respected him more tho if he'd done it without nandrolene

  • hell yeah... sport billy is my hero

  • OLD SKUL

  • i watch this when i was a little kid :))

  • I was watching this in 1979. It was on every Wednesday, I remember. I forget what it replaced (without a warning too, if I might add). But I remember, suddenly this was on every Wednesday morning.

  • What part of the world were you living in at the time? I don't remember seeing this series until 1981-82 on NBC.

  • Niice but the best opening titles for Sport Billy had Czech Republic...:)...look on it

  • I thougt it was spanish. It was broadcasted here, in Spain, in 1.982, when de World Cup was taking place, as well as Naranjito, wich was surely spanish. I don´t really know wich one of both of them was worse.

  • millions of millions of millions of millions of light years ago..... too many things, too many people........

  • this brings back memories

  • "Sport Billy was a 1979 animated television cartoon made by (U.S.) Filmation Associates, initially for broadcast in Germany. In 1982, Filmation carried the show over to the United States for syndication, and as a summer replacement in NBC's Saturday morning children's programming.

    WIKIPEDIA.

  • Thank you, i actually thought that it was Spanish as they have a penchant for poor cartoons.
