    22 x 30 minute episodes

    The Harlem Globetrotters (Bobby Joe, Pabs, J.C. (Gip), Geese, Meadowlark and Curly Neal) travelled the world playing basketball with their funny antics and wild gameplay.

    Episodes featured the wholesome antics and ideology of these athletic clowns, and encouraged sportsmanship and fair play, on and off the court. Each week the group battled opponents in back alleys using the antic plays and teamwork for which they were famous.

    Granny (Nancy Wible) drove the team bus and Dribbles the dog (Frank Welker) accompanied the group as a team mascot.

    This series was the first American Saturday morning cartoon to feature a predominately African-American cast of principal characters.

    The success of the concept and the popularity of the team resulted in a 1974 spin-off series with the Globetrotters appearing in person with Rodney Allen Rippy and Avery Schreiber in The Harlem Globetrotters Popcorn Machine. During the late 1970s, they appeared again in the animated series Go-Go Globetrotters.

    Scatman Crothers was also the voice of Hong Kong Phooey in 1974 and later starred in The Shining (1980).
