Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: Mumbly vs. Hemlock & Alfie (1976)

 In "Sherlock's Badder Brudder", Mumbly plays his usual tricks on a pair of British crooks who've come across the pond to capture him. Good luck with that!

It's clear that Hanna-Barbera had tried and failed to re-acquire Droopy, as every Mumbly episode followed Droopy's playbook. It took fourteen years before Droopy finally arrived at H-B, with a stopover at Filmation before that (1980's Tom & Jerry Comedy Show).

Rating: B.

I never made the Droopy connection before, but it seems so obvious now.

Which makes it even more galling that they turned Mumbly into a villain a year later for Laff-a-Lympics, but I've explained the reason for that previously.
