What happens
The Super Globetrotters is a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. It premiered on NBC on September 22, 1979, and ran for 13 episodes. It was a spin-off series from Hanna-Barbera's Harlem Globetrotters. Unlike the original Globetrotters series, The Super Globetrotters was solely produced by Hanna-Barbera, whereas the original series was co-produced with CBS Productions. Thus, Super Globetrotters later became incorporated into the library of Warner Bros. while the original series remains under CBS ownership. The series was a re-adaptation of HB's earlier 1966 series The Impossibles. The Super Globetrotters aired in its own half-hour timeslot from September 22 to November 3, 1979, and beginning November 10, episodes were packaged together with Godzilla under the title The Godzilla/Globetrotters Adventure Hour which ran until September 20, 1980. Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained a laugh track created by the studio. This is also one of a number of shows made before the mid-1980s seen on the Cartoon Network and Boomerang to have been taken from time-compressed PAL masters. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
