#TOUCHГ‰ TURTLE AND DUM DUM SERIES#

The elements of The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Series were split up, with Wally Gator airing as a segment on Magilla Gorilla and Friends on USA Network's 'Cartoon Express' from 1987 through 1991. Over time, the studio regained control of many of its earlier productions and distributed them through Worldvision. The Hanna-Barbera studio was later purchased by Taft Broadcasting Company, which distributed the studio's product first through Taft-HB Program Sales, and later through Worldvision Enterprises. The series was originally syndicated by Screen Gems, the TV division of Columbia Pictures. In New York, WPIX-TV originally used the segments for a local series, Cartoon Zoo, featuring Milt Moss as host and 'Zookeeper', with life-sized cutouts of the characters in 'cages' as a backdrop. For example, WGN-Channel 9 in Chicago ran the three segments in a half-hour timeslot under the name Wally Gator. The title The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon series was an off-screen promotional title to distinguish this series from other packages of Hanna-Barbera cartoons (such as Ruff and Reddy, The Huckleberry Hound Show and The Yogi Bear Show) available at the time. The series was distributed to television stations as separate individual cartoon segments, each with its own opening theme and closing title. The series included three unrelated short cartoon segments featuring funny animal characters: Wally Gator, TouchГ© Turtle and Dum Dum and Lippy the Lion & Hardy Har Har.ДЇifty-two episodes were produced for each of the three segments. Syndication The Hanna-Barbera New Cartoon Series, also known as The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Series or The Wally Gator Show, was a syndicated television package of animated cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, starting in 1962.
