In this series, the Hardys were members of a rock and roll band. A group of professional musicians performed all the songs on the series, and toured across the United States. The animated series produced two bubblegum music albums "of moderate quality with no commercial success."The series was notable for being the first cartoon to include a black character.The show took note of current concerns; although aimed at a young audience, some plot lines dealt with illegal drugs, and the animated Frank and Joe spoke directly to children about not smoking and the importance of wearing seat belts.<br /><br />Here is a pic: http://www.planetdiecast.com/hwdphotos/originals/110/1350/Cartoon_Hardys_2_copy.jpg<br /><br />Cannot say I remember this show at all.Wings1295https://www.blogger.com/profile/08045644215235749353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-69521280082371397222013-11-12T16:05:20.537-06:002013-11-12T16:05:20.537-06:00Oh, wow!

The first season was modeled more after the books with them working with their father in solving mysteries. The second season, I believe the father was eliminated and they were sent on location and more focus on Shawn and his singing.<br /><br />And yes, ABC ruled the airwaves for quite a chunk of the late 70's.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119827816698009731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-38878260926862867092013-11-11T08:02:18.983-06:002013-11-11T08:02:18.983-06:00Don't remember The Hardy Boys as a cartoon, th...Don't remember The Hardy Boys as a cartoon, that is interesting! Love seeing the movies in these old listings, too. Makes me think that there were people out there who reorganized their schedule to make sure they were home to watch some of these things, since there were no DVRs or even VCRs! <br /><br />Hardy Boys followed by Six-Million Dollar Man? I bet I was watching!<br /><br />I saw most of the Kaiju movies via the Saturday afternoon Creature Double Feature, on Channel 56 in the Boston area. Good times.<br /><br />Looking at some of these pages, like that Wednesday afternoon one, I wouldn't know WHAT to pick, these days! A gold mine of goodness!<br /><br />That Saturday night lineup is one I remember best - Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley and Three's Company. Quite the great night of TV.<br /><br />Awesome stuff, as always. Thanks for sharing!Wings1295https://www.blogger.com/profile/08045644215235749353noreply@blogger.com
