Tubi gets the Warner Bros. animation catalog
The big streaming news this month is Tubi gaining access to much of the Cartoon Network and Hanna-Barbera catalog, everything from “Animaniacs” to “The Powerpuff Girls.” See my previous post about all of this.
It’s unfortunate that the recent news about Paramount buying Warner Bros. put a damper on the positive reaction to this. That said, I assume the existing streaming deal with Tubi will stay in force for now. Of course, given the volatile nature of streaming, you might want to buy your favorite Warner Bros.-owned cartoons on DVD/Blu-ray.
Coming to Blu-ray: Looney Tunes and Laff-A-Lympics
Two major Blu-ray releases are coming from the Warner Archive this month: “Looney Tunes Collector’s Vault, vol. 2” and “Scooby’s All-Star Laff-A-Lympics (the complete series).” (Never mind the Winter Olympics were last month.)
For the Looney Tunes, this set, like the first volume, features 50 shorts, half of which are new to Blu-ray, the other half new to physical media. A full list of the shorts is available here. As the list indicates, most of these shorts aren’t the most famous ones (such as “Duck Amuck” or “A Wild Hare”), thus the “collector’s” moniker. That said, for me, one main draw is getting a half-dozen Road Runner shorts as Blu-ray/high definition versions.
“Scooby’s All-Star Laff-A-Lympics” is a show that aired on ABC for two seasons from 1977 to 1978. An anthology package show, the show ran for two hours and consisted of: “Laff-A-Lympics” itself; “Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels”; “Dynomutt”; and new Scooby-Doo episodes (which now air with the episodes from “The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour” and a short-lived “Where Are You!” revival under the title “The Scooby-Doo Show”). In 1978, the “Dynomutt” segments were dropped, and the show was renamed “Scooby’s All-Stars.”
As the title indicates, the Laff-A-Lympics are a parody of the Olympics, as well as the 70s proto-reality show “Battle of the Network Stars” (TV stars of the era participating in sporting events).The “All-Star” aspect comes from nearly every major Hanna-Barbera comedic character featured in the series, split across three teams:
- The Yogi Yahooeys: The early funny-animal characters (Quick Draw McGraw, Huckleberry Hound, Hokey Wolf, etc.), plus then-newcomer (and only post-60s character on the team) Grape Ape; Yogi Bear is the team captain.
- The Scooby Doobies: The then-current stars from the various mystery or crime-fighting shows/Scooby-Doo clones (Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, Speed Buggy, the Blue Falcon, Dynomutt, etc.); Scooby-Doo is the team captain.
- The Really Rottens; A team of cheating villains; mostly newly created characters, plus a few older ones (such as Western villains the Dalton brothers). The team captain is Mumbly, the Muttley pastiche from a previous stand-alone series, created due to rights problems with Muttley.
The commentators (parodying ABC’s sports anchors) are Snagglepuss and Mildew Wolf. Mildew first appeared as an antagonist from a segment of the late 60s series “Cattanooga Cats”; however, here he’s just a reformed but snarky anchor.
The series featured various zany sporting events, held in two different locations around the world in each episode. The series finale ends things on a literal high note—the final location is on the Moon. The Rottens actually won gold in a few episodes, despite their cutthroat behavior. You’d figure “cheaters never win” would be an ironclad rule, given 70s children’s TV restrictions, but I guess not?
My guesses as to why the full “Scooby’” title is used despite only being “Laff-A-Lympics” episodes: A) Scooby’s popularity, and B) the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been very litigious and protective of the Olympics trademark in recent decades, which is why most Olympic pastiches in media now go by “<something> Games” instead. Maybe using the show’s original full title is enough to fend off the IOC’s lawyers? That said, when the recent series “Jellystone!” featured the Laff-A-Lympics in one episode, it was renamed to “the LAFF Games.”
Sports stuff
As usual, baseball is back in March. This year, NBC and Peacock will have baseball rights, including the debut of “Sunday Night Baseball,” similar to “Sunday Night Basketball/Football.” This lets NBC program sports on Sunday nights year-round.
Another change this year is that Netflix is also live streaming the opening night game between the Yankees and Giants. Netflix will also stream a few other baseball related events through the season.
For T-Mobile subscribers, I assume MLB.TV will be offered for free as a T-Mobile Tuesdays perk. MLB.TV is now owned by ESPN, so it’ll be offered as a subcategory of that app, though an ESPN subscription isn’t required for MLB.TV. Another big and useful change: in-market home games for over a dozen teams will be available without any blackouts. So there’s no need for an expensive cable or streaming package just to watch (most) local baseball games.
