Speed Buggy

I loved the Speed Buggy. Still do. I would get up early on Sat. mornings and watch it with a bowful of Kwisp. Or Honey Combs. Then little Speedy would solve an adventure. Or something. He always won the race. Except for that one time, when Mr. Eagle came out of the sky. I became sad. But then the next time he won and I was glad. Speed Buggy could always rev up the engines of my young soul. Drive on Speedy. And Godspeed.

I would love to see Speed Buggy set come to DVD. I know my little girl would love them as i did. We must put these wonderful cartoons on DVD to treasure for a lifetime. Me for one would love to share these great cartoons with my kids. I'm very excited about the spider-man 1967 release. My kids will finally get to see how spidy really was! Glad to see DVD's booming. Maybe we can get rid of tapes forever. Please bring Speed Buggy to DVD though. Mel Blank was the greatest.

Arelen Golonka and Mel Blanc must have been struggling with this..sex, drugs, cards, hippies, oh my, as Judy Garland said forty years earlier.

I'm just surprised the kids didn't't sing any songs here. The other shows: Scooby/Josie/Pebbles and Bamm Bamm, then Funky Phantom, Butch Cassidy, Clue Club, and (bringing up Judy Garland's exclamation from Wizard again) Oh My, Goober.

Bad timing, bad design, no wonder it lasted for only 17 episodes one season, and characters using drug abuse (going back to the late 60s Banana Splits and Cattanooga Cats, though those early efforts were admittedly a bit better), caused HB, and later the Smurf like cartoons next decade, 1980s, to bring HB and Filmation down to the worst level anyone could. Thank god for Beavis and Butthead and the late 1920sa-early 1960s. Though I did like "Wait Till your Father Gets Home" & "Inch High Private High". :D

"Speed Buggy" is one of the coolest cartoons I've ever seen. Speed Buggy was this race car that could talk, and do other things besides racing. On every episode, he, along with his friends Mark, Debbie, and Tinker would always stumble into an adventure during a race which was pretty cool. I think the best part about this show is of course the title character. I wish I could've had a car like Speed Buggy. That would've been so cool. 10/10

I would love to see a compilation of Speed Buggy cartoons. I would buy one in a minute! The warm memories of Southern California summer vacation afternoons watching Speed Buggy at about 3:30pm if I remember, Fun and colorful, light hearted with fun action and good adventure.

Good times...

Honk kong phooey, the Krofft superstars, The Lost Saucer, Of course, our looney tunes. If you got up reeeeal early you might catch Davey and Goliath :-)

What I'd love to see, on a late night infomercial sometime soon, is year by year, the cartoons we used to love. Have a Saturday Morning Cartoons series, and a daytime cartoon series for each year, one at a time.
