Capitaine Caverne

The Greta thing about the cartoon is it's fun filled mystery ride!! What makes it even better is it's neat to see people of color and in respectable roles too. Great for the 70's considering Scooby Doo never had a black personality in a single episode.

This show is the one that introduced Captain Caveman. Basically, another cartoon made in the same mystery solver format as Scooby-Doo, this show has a lot of comedy (mainly from Cavey's powers giving out and the fact that he eats stuff). Also, the Teen Angels, inspired by Charlie's Angels, can be compared to some of the Scooby Gang (Taffy to Fred, Dee Dee to Velma, and Brenda to Shaggy) in terms of personality. This show lasted for three seasons, first being a segment on two other shows before getting its own half-hour show, each episode having two mysteries. This is a good show that introduced a character who would appear in two Flintstones spin-off shows.

This show was as if Hanna Barbera decided to mix their most successful creations: Flintstones and Scooby-Doo. A caveman solving crimes!

Even though the art feels a bit rushed, the stories are really satisfying and fun. And that yell is awesome!

All in all, a solid show that could have lasted longer.

Of course this Hanna-Barbera show was modeled off Charlie's Angels and their own two properties: Scooby-Doo (which Cavey and the Angels appeared with the cowardly Great Dane on Laff-O-Lympics) and The Flintstones (hich Cavey would appear with later in the 80's after the Teen Angels went off the air). But as a kid, I used to have a crush on all three of the Angels and the slapstick comedy of Cavey was humorous as well. In fact, the show is still good and entertaining, even though it's slightly modeled off the "Scooby-Doo meets Charlie's Angels" example. I'd still watch it today, as it airs periodically on Cartoon Network's offspring channel Boomerang.

This show was obviously very much influenced by the legendary series "Charlie's Angels" as well as such shows as "Mr. Terrific and "Captain Nice". Unfortunately, that's all you can say about the show. This show had no memorable characters and they pretty much had no personality. This is a shame since it was produced by Hanna Barbera, which also produced the classic "Scooby Doo".
