Trivia
The show was so successful that it aired on all three major networks. It aired first run on CBS until 1975. Reruns aired on ABC in 1975-76 (later replacing Uncle Croc's Block), then on NBC, replacing the canceled McDuff, The Talking Dog, from November 27, 1976 until September 3, 1977 (thus completing the cycle of being on all three networks). It was then picked up by the USA Network for their Cartoon Express shows from 1982 to about 1990. Like most cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, Speed Buggy contained a laugh track (later removed for repeats on Cartoon Network and Boomerang).

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.
