Skatebirds (TV series)

Skatebirds is a live-action American anthology television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The series originally aired on CBS. It ran from 1977 to 1978, airing 16 episodes.

The show debuted with segments, The Robonic Stooges, Wonder Wheels, Woofer & Wimper, Dog Detectives and Mystery Island.

Since Hanna-Barbera's All-Star Comedy Ice Revue came out around the same time Skatebirds premiered, the special actually advertised it's premiere, even showing some clips from the show.

Much like The Banana Splits, the series featured musical numbers, although the Skatebird numbers were less closer to bubblegum music, and more about the "Skate-word for today."

During airtime on Cartoon Network in the 1990s, it aired for a block called 70's Super Explosion.
