Saturtainment: An episode of Baggy Pants & The Nitwits (1977)

 Episodes of Baggy Pants & The Nitwits are now available on a DePatie-Freleng fan channel on YouTube. 

In this example, we see Baggy Pants in "Painter's Helper", which pretty much speaks for itself, even if it is a pantomime cartoon. Then, Tyrone & Gladys (Arte Johnson & Ruth Buzzi), the Nitwits, are after "Splish Splash" (an uncredited Frank Welker). In fact, none of the other actors in the episode (i.e. Don Messick) were credited. The series clarified that Johnson created Tyrone, at least, for Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In nearly a decade earlier.


Even though Tyrone finally put a ring on it with Gladys, she's still the brains of the team.
