WE DO RECALL catching some of the episodes of this short lived HANNA BARBERA Catoon series. There seemed to be some similarities to others in their stable, done up in combination.
IN MUCH THE same mode as H & B's MOBY DICK, the action and adventure takes place in "Davy Jones' Locker" (that's underwater, Schultz!). From the highly successful SCOOBY DOO Franchise, we get the idea of an intelligent animal getting in on the action and dialog.
INSTEAD OF MAKING use of "Man's Best Friend", the series opted for exploiting all of the hysteria and publicity generated by JAWS (Universal, 1975), we got JABBERJAW, a Great White Shark with the voice and mannerisms of THE 3 STOOGES' Curly Howard!
AS GREAT OF a stretch as this is, we thought it to be an extremely, outrageously funny concept. Why in addition to the voice and various 'screams' and 'nyuks', Jabberjaw would use his front fins in the same manner as would Curly do his arms.
BUT EVEN THOUGH JJ had the facial appearance and rotund physique of the admittedly funniest of the Stooges, the series bit the dust and had a short life.
