Station/Studio | ABC / Hanna-Barbera Prods. |
Host/Star | Jabberjaw |
Hanna-Barbera's 1970s originality is at work here, recycling the formats of JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS and SCOOBY-DOO, with newly named characters living in the year 2076, a rock band named The Neptunes. Drawing on the mid '70s shark-mania of JAWS, the main character is Jabberjaw, a talking great white shark and The Neptunes' drummer. Frank Welker was Jabber's voice, an impersonation of Jerry 'Curly' Howard; the shark's personality drew on the characterization of Rodney Dangerfield.
In the 2076 Olympics city of Oysteralia, Maximus plots with Dr. Chemo and his powerful robot to smuggle microfilm to criminal leader Mr. Z. Part of their plan is to enter the robot in Olympic events, but Jabberjaw accidentally swallows the microfilm, and the race is on!
