The cartoon world’s favourite sailor had finally settled down in this short-lived animated CBS series from Hanna-Barbera, as Popeye (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) and Olive Oyl (Marilyn Schreffler) were now married and had a 9-year-old son Popeye, Jr (voiced by Josh Rodine).
Unfortunately, Popeye’s arch-enemy Bluto (Allan Melvin) had also stayed around the seaside town of Sweethaven. He had wed an obnoxious woman named Lizzie (also voiced by Marilyn Schreffler), and they also had a 9-year-old son, aptly named Tank (David Markus).
Both kids largely followed in the footsteps of their fathers, meaning the antagonism remained, except the younger Popeye – somewhat blasphemously – did not like spinach.
Woody (Penina Segall) and Dee Dee (Kaleena Kiff) were Popeye Jr.’s friends. Popeye’s old hamburger-loving friend Wimpy now owned a chain of hamburger stands.
Each 30-minute episode featured two stories.
