The Great Grape Ape Show, 1975. 'The big, big, big, big gorilla!'

Happy Funshine Friday, friends and neighbors! Today, let’s enjoy the intro for Hanna-Barbera’s The Great Grape Ape Show.

The overly large and very purple simian first aired in September of 1975 as part of The New Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape Show. By 1977-78 The Great Grape Ape had his own show airing Sunday mornings. You may also remember the 40-ft-tall beast from his many appearances as a “Yogi Yahooey” on Scooby’s All-Star Laff-A-Lympics and Scooby’s All-Stars. Grape Ape!
