The All-New Popeye Hour
This incarnation of the classic cartoon still has Popeye the Sailor defending the honor of his beloved Olive Oyl from Bluto, this time preferring cunning over brute force. Returning characters included Wimpy, Pappy, and Popeye's nephews.
The show was comprised of three segments (later four), and a brief safety message:
- Adventures of Popeye: Much like the classic show.
- Popeye's Treasure Hunt: Olive and Popeye's search for treasure.
- Dinky Dog: Adventures of the largest dog in the world.
- Popeye's Sports Parade (1979-1980): In which Popeye plays sports.
