JABBERJAW - Hang Onto Your Hat, Jabber
Air Date/Released | Saturday, October 16, 1976 |
---|---|
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.
The Brotherhood of Evil steals Dr. Ortega's new power helmet, which will grant its wearer every wish, in a plot to take over the undersea world. But before the thiefs can deliver it to their master, they bump into the Neptunes who are on their way to a concert, and Jabberjaw accidentally switches hat boxes. The Brotherhood sets their sites on the gang, before Jabber can figure out the helmet's power.
