Where's Huddles Review

Ok, so I'm reviewing the show Where's Huddles, a summer of 1970 show that was a summer replacement for the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, which is kinda like the Flinstones... only set in modern times and the lead characters are football players. This series was only ten episodes long (makes sense if new episodes were once a week in summer)...

The show's main characters are a professional football quarterback named Ed Huddles (voiced by Cliff Norton) and his neighbor, the team's center Bubba McCoy (voiced by Mel Blanc), who play for a team called The Rhinos, Ed's wife Marge (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl, also the voice of Wilma Flintstone (hmm...)), their daughter Pom-Pom, their kinda prissy neighbor Claude Pertwee (voiced by Paul Lynde), Claude Pertwee's cat Beverly their teammate Freight Train (voiced by Herb Jeffries), and Bubba's wife Penny McCoy (voiced by Marie Wilson, a comedienne in her final role before her death in 1972). Other characters include a sportscaster voiced by Dick Enberg, who at the time was the voice of the Los Angeles Rams, the coach Mad Dog Malone, voiced by Alan Reed. The Huddles had a dog named Fumbles, voiced by Don Messick, who also voiced Mutley.
Well... it's about football players.  The episode I watched is "One Man's Family". Bubba has a accident on the field and has to in for a check up. Ed decides to check what the doctor's doing, and somehow Bubba is pregnant. What? Meanwhile, Claude is trying to sell the story to the tabloids and even making Bubba sign to Claude the exclusivity of his story because... money... Anyway it ends with the doctor admitting he mixed up Bubba and Penny's x-ray results. Um... I thought you weren't supposed to get x-rays when you were pregnant... Maybe this was before radiation was revealed to be an issue. Oh, well. It ends with Claude taking a group picture of them. Eh... too bad it was the final episode.

 I give this show a 3/5. In general, it's not a bad show. I mean, it appeals to football fans, which my dad is one. Having Uncle Arthur on your show is a plus, and Paul Lynde is actually credited in this role, due to embarrassment about working in cartoons. Could they make new episodes with this? Um... yeah. I mean, they could play it before or after football games. It could work. Personally, I prefer when they're of the field, which can get a bit weird, especially having Paul Lynde as a neighbor. If this show was done now, I think it would of gotten better (or worse, if you notice what Fox/ writers have done to Family Guy). I would of watched it.

On Friday I'll review Josie and the Pussy-Cats or The 2014 Power Puff Girls Special.
