Wacky Races is an animated racing television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Heatter-Quigley, Inc. for CBS' Saturday morning children's programming. It ran from 1968 and 1969, airing 17 episodes. Despite only lasting one season, it proved popular enough for two spin-offs, which were The Perils of Penelope Pitstop and Dick Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines, and to a lesser extent Yogi's Treasure Hunt.
The series has been revived a couple of times by Warner Bros. Animation. In 2006, there was a five-minute pilot pitch called Wacky Races Forever, which acted as a sequel, but was not picked up. The second was a comparatively more successful reboot/quasi-sequel once again called Wacky Races, which lasted between 2017-2019 on the Boomerang VSOD service.
