Hanna-Barbera’s live-action series, The Skatebirds only ran in its full, 60-minute glory for four months, from September, 1977 to January, 1978.

Much like The Banana Splits, The Skatebirds featured four costumed characters with voices dubbed by animation actors. Between the live-action comedy sequences, an assortment of cartoons; The Robonic Stooges, Wonder Wheels and Woofer & Wimper: Dog Detectives were shown. Live-action segments from Mystery Island were also included.
