The Mumbly Cartoon Show is a Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and featuring the titular Mumbly, a cartoon dog detective. It was broadcast on ABC from September 11, 1976 to September 3, 1977 as part of The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape/Mumbly Show, which packaged reruns of the 1975 The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape Show with a new component.
Mumbly is a private eye dog in a trenchcoat, who worked with an assistant, Schnooker, to catch criminals. 16 episodes were produced.
The show was not a ratings success, and only lasted for one season. However, in the next season, Mumbly was included in Hanna-Barbera's crossover show, Laff-A-Lympics, on the villainous "Really Rottens" team. Mumbly was not a villain in his earlier show, but the character was a substitution for the actually-villainous Muttley from the 1969 series Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines, who couldn't appear on Laff-A-Lympics as those characters were co-owned by Heatter-Quigley Productions.
