The Mumbly Cartoon Show is an animated American television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for ABC's Saturday morning children's programming. It ran in 1976, airing 16 episodes that spanned one season.
The show was featured as a segment of The Tom & Jerry/Grape Ape Show.
Lieutenant Mumbly works at the police station as a detective, who tracks down bad guys and puts them behind bars. Mumbly's hotheaded boss, Chief Shnooker, often tells Mumbly to do the mission of bringing in the crook(s), but would later take credit for Mumbly's work.
Mumbly was later featured in the Laff-A-Lympics TV series, as a replacement for Muttley, who was originally featured as the captain of the Really Rottens, Mumbly in this series divides from his original series since he is depicted as villainous instead of lawful.
The series never saw a home media release, and Warner Archive has made no announcements about its release, at this point in time, it is unlikely that the series will be released in any form.
