JABBERJAW - There's No Place Like Outer Space

Air Date/Released Saturday, September 18, 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.

For the Hydrostan concert, the gang plans a publicity stunt, arriving on stage as alien invaders. They soon discover there are real invaders on the way, led by Commander Domax and a spy in the Hydrostan government. The authorities don't believe their story, so the kids set out to infiltrate the invaders.
