Not a lot of *successful* kung fu, but still fun to watch
Thanks @MatthewTitus88@mastodon.social & the gang!

Cast! Even Paul WInchell and obvs Frank Welker (usually animal voices in every cartoon for 4 decades)

Hanna-Barbera octopuses are hexapuses!

I like that the soundtrack basically telegraphs that every plan Phooey has is a ridiculous hairbrained scheme. 😆

And... [deep breath]
How many crook-catchers could a crook-catcher-catching crook catch if a crook could catch crook-catchers?

If HKP needs help fighting a gorilla, maybe he should see how another superhero does it

Why in the name of #HannaBarbera would you change your car into a bicycle, and then a unicycle? That doesn't make any... and Spot the Cat caught the villains again! 🤦♂️

yeah, your necklace. Nevermind a whole giant gorilla was in your house.

The parents groups were against fighting, but were cool with the super short skirt on the female police officer Rosemary?
Weird times.

I've noticed that IA's streaming player doesn't offer the casting button in Firefox-based browsers like Zen but does in Chrome-based browsers like Helium

Phone casting would not work to my TV. 🤦♂️
I finally got this thing to play on my television by running IE11 from my Xbox and searching for the episodes on archive.org.

Oh no, Terror in the Wax Museum - the #Monsterdon movie that ripped off a different Hanna-Barbera show, Scooby Doo!

The writers must have been high as f**k writing these cartoons.

"Parents’ groups like Action for Children’s Television held powerful sway over the networks, and they didn’t approve of any fighting at all, let along kung fu fighting. A cartoon about a martial arts hero could only make it to air as long as he never actually landed a blow. Thus Hong Kong Phooey was forced into the role of what I call the “accidental hero”: he could save the day, not by taking any genuine action, but only by accident."

"Kathy also has many fond memories of working on Hong Kong Phooey. “It was very much a family. We would record, and then during breaks, Scatman would bring his ukulele, and we would all go out into the parking lot,” she remembers, adding, “Scatman was a really sweet and generous guy.”"
