1981 11:30 on ABC: HEATHCLIFF AND MARMADUKE

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

In 1981 at 11:30 in the morning on ABC, you would see Heathcliff ANd Marmaduke (along with a very catchy theme song). Officially considered to be the second season of the 1980 Heathcliff and Dingbat Show only with Marmaduke instead of Dingbat (obviously), they made 25 episodes of this version ( as opposed to just 13 "Dingbat" episode) which is why you probably remember the Marmaduke titles better than the Dingbat ones, if you remember them at all. Also note that this is a Ruby-Spears joint, NOT the DiC "Heathcliff and The Catilac Cats" version that was syndicated a few years later.

I could tell the difference between the Ruby-Spears version and the DiC version as a kid. I don't know if I had a preference, except that I didn't care for the Marmaduke bits much.

Gotta love Scatman Cruthers. :) But for me, yeah, "Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats" is where it's at. Cleo <3
