Anyone else watch this?


I didn't realize it was only one season. I must have watched a lot of reruns. I swear this was on for 4 years.

I have a Speed Buggy t-shirt!

That is awesome!

This, Scooby, Funky Phantom, Josie and the Pussycats, etc, etc. Hanna-Barbera was a key part of my youth!

It's funny that everyone was so fond of Josie and the Pussycats. I was only vaguely aware of their existence in my youth. I'm guessing it was not rebroadcast in my area, because I watched hours of Hannah Barbara cartoons on many days. Definitely Scoobie, Space Ghost and Jabberjaw.

Yes, loved Josie. HB did two series; Josie and the Pussycats, and Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space a couple of years later. They also did a crossover with Scooby-Doo in an episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies called 'The Haunted Showboat', which is actually one of the better entries in that series.

I liked it as a kid.

reply

I loved it when I was a kid, though I noticed the human characters seemed to be carbon copies of the Scooby Do gang (ditto with Josie and the Pussycats).

reply

Probably why I liked it, lol

reply

Jesus, I feel Ancient even seeing this brought up, but yes, I watched it along with Scooby Doo and I prefer the episodes of Scooby Doo with the Psychedelic music they had for the intro

reply

This was definitely trying to piggyback on Scoob.

I have a strange memory of either Speed Buggy or a similar cartoon from that era, and would like to see if anyone else remembers this or if this was perhaps some strange child's dream masquerading as reality. The lead character, either Speed Buggy or a dog, finds a leg sticking out of the sand on a beach while they're searching for someone. He takes it - yes, just the leg - back to his companions, and he then leads them to where he found it. There, they find the person they were looking for and return the leg to her. Turns out she'd just been relaxing on the beach, partially covered in sand. Was I on acid when I was 6 years old? :) Did this actually happen in a Saturday morning cartoon?

There was some weird shit back then. This probably happened, lol.

LOL, no doubt. Pretty sure it was something I watched, but I can't quite coalesce the memory enough to be sure, or to place it more squarely. Would really like to find it somewhere online, or at least have someone confirm if it is indeed a real thing.
