One reason the series wasn't as hit is this: it aired on third-place ABC at a timeslot dominated by televised reruns of theatrical animated shorts on a schedule of other cartoons that are alright in my book but nothing to write home about -- one starring an advertising icon asking you not to be a Pyro, one that would've been pulled by the FCC for being an ad for a toy brand [and honestly, it should've been], one about another based while also based on a popular YA myster series, and one about fighter planes and the wonderbread family who pilot them]. Basically, ABC Super Saturday was not so Super in '69. If it aired on CBS (which likely dominated the day that year including three other Hanna-Barbera cartoons that year; one guess as to what one of them is) or even NBC (which aired the reason it exists), it would've had a fighting chance and probably a second season.

Now that I think of it, if it weren't for Cartoon Network and Boomerang, the series would be lucky to be memorable and still have any history and longevity. 

While I'm glad the series is still remembered all these years later and has been referenced in more recent cartoons, I still feel like there should've been more to it and even a revival series today. Until that time comes, I'll continue watching, loving and enjoying the groovy, colorful,
