Peter Potamus and So-So is a series of animated segments as part of The Peter Potamus Show, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The series aired in syndication until ABC attained the series. It ran from 1964 to 1966, airing 27 episodes that spanned three seasons.

Production

Development

In developing the lead character of the series, animator and layout artist Jerry Eisenberg recounted on how Peter Potamus was created:

"Once I was thinking about a hippopotamus… Since I was overweight, I could relate to that. So I started making some drawings in the Hanna-Barbera style—the character standing on two legs. I put a safari coat on him and a pith helmet. Joe kind of liked it, so he got some writers together and we began to work on it. I don't know who came up with the name, but that was Peter Potamus."

- Jerry Eisneberg[1]

Music

The score was composed by Hoyt Curtin.
