Saturtainment: Quackula (1979)

I had this up before, but the video that had been up had been deleted, so down it went.

Quackula was the 3rd part of The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle & Jeckle when it premiered in 1979. However, cartoonist Scott Shaw! filed suit, claiming it bore too much resemblance to his 1976 creation, Duckula (not to be confused with the British Count Duckula, who came along later). The suit was settled out of court, and Quackula was abruptly cancelled, while the show was cut in half to a half hour, and would continue in reruns until 1981.

Here's the pentultimate episode, "Magic Duck". Co-producer Norm Prescott voices Theodore the bear, Quackula's landlord. Frank Welker does everything else.
