Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels is an American animated mystery comedy series created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, the creators of Scooby-Doo, and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for ABC. The series aired on Saturday mornings for three seasons, with a total of forty episodes, between September 10, 1977–June 21, 1980.
Summary[]
Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels centers on the mystery-solving adventures of the Teen Angels—Brenda, Dee Dee and Taffy—and their friend Captain Caveman (or Cavey for short), a prehistoric caveman whom the girls discovered and thawed from a block of ice. The concept and general plot for the show was seen as a parody of Charlie's Angels (which also aired on ABC). It also borrowed heavily from other Hanna-Barbera shows such as Scooby-Doo and Josie and the Pussycats, among others. Captain Caveman's powers include super-strength, a variety of useful objects hidden inside his hair, and a club that allows him to fly and from which pop out different tools he uses to fight crime. His trademark is his battle cry of "Captain CAAAAAVEMAAAAAAANNNN!" Captain Caveman's voice was provided by Mel Blanc.
The first season was used as segments for Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics, the second season was used as segments for Scooby's All-Stars, and the third season was used on its own.
